JawD 31 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 A forward would make the window near perfect but I just can't see it. Not many sides have >2 quality forwards. I also don't know enough about the new guy. Also depends on our formation as he might be using people like HBA as part of a front 3. Either way, it's nice to go in to the end of the window not panicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Nah, Drogba was finished in his last two seasons at Chelsea, a shadow of his former self. I couldn't believe how bad he was when we saw him for the last time up here. He did the right thing taking the money and fucking off to China. Been a bit of a myth built up around him this season by the press with their 'Chelsea miss Drogba' lazy journalism. They only miss him because Torres is so woeful.

Happy Face 29 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 "It's not worked out in an ideal way. The whole situation has become a bit too public really hasn't it?" Harry Redknapp on Odemwingie Wonder if there was any self awareness when he said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Finished? He pretty much single handedly pushed them to winning the champions league 6 months ago Nah, not having that like. Got up well for the corner and scored a penalty in a shootout that he did sweet fuck all in the other 120 minutes. Granted, being an experienced quality footballer who could handle the pressure was exactly what Chelsea needed, but he was def garbage compared to what he used to be.

TheMoog 0 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Word is out that we've finished in this transfer window, no further investment to be made and no new striker coming in - while I'm happy with the strengthening we've done we really needed a decent goalscorer to come in and replace Ba's contribution. You don't win games without scoring and I can't see Cissé, Shola and Gouffran doing the work needed to keep us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I can see Cisse doing that work now he's the sole focus of our attacks. He was unlucky against Reading and in the first half when we tried to play football he was getting the service required and was getting himself into the positions so I'm not worried about that at all.

David Kelly 1117 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 As long as he stays fit. He's not really had an injury since he's been here so he's due one. I'd be more than a little concerned he was out for any number of weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMoog 0 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Danny Graham has put in a transfer request apparently. I'd bring the lad in for sure, but if the club's said they're done spending this window then that's usually the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3514 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Cant be sure with all the rumors about Bony and the other French lad going about. Yes Im not going to attempt to spell his name. He wont be setting the league alight anywhere but he's decent backup and will push Shola further down the line so there certainly wont be any harm in getting him. Might come a bit cheaper now too considering he seems to want out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 6 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Graham wants to move for personal reasons. That usually translates to closer to home, or in this case, the Mackems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 3514 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 According to twitter some Belgian paper has reported we are in for someguy (French of course) called William Vanqiuer. Midfielder. Why in the world would we be going in for another one of those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
