Speculation Motown's annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded Winter 15/16 rumours thread

But what if Vardy, Ulloa, Okazaki AND Mahrez get injured?

Clownio will regret letting Harry Panayiotou go on loan to Raith Rovers.

We have chosen to cross our fingers and toes , put our underpants on our heads and stick pencils up our nostrils, and shout blah blah blah in a very loud voice

Insane, but there you have it

Have we Blacksdder, have we really?

Where is the wibble?

 

[Mawsley]

My feeling about it is that we took a prudent approach to not being pressurised into over-spending during the window. Yep, it may backfire - but what the ****? We just came out of the transfer window not being forced into selling our best talent and that's a real mark of where we are now. And that's ****ing brilliant.

Good point Maws.

I don't expect the likes of Musa to be any cheaper in the summer, if we qualify for the champions league, then other clubs will know we have the bumper premier league, and champions league money to spend. We would still have to meet his release clause I expect.

But then, if we do qualify then perhaps the club feel we could set our sights even higher, and would be better able to attract players.

Since there is no rush now, I would like to see us invite Robinho to train with us with the view to a potential deal. If he is fit he is the sort of player who could make a difference this season, and would be good to have around next season too.

 

[FOX Franks]

Whilst I don't think we needed to add with any great urgency, I do wonder if, being top of the premier league, we might have missed out chance to attract the real star names.

If we do make the champions league spots, we are going to have to spend a lot of money in the summer just to keep up with the number of games we will play next season.

But, we kept a hold of our main squad, and, as Mawsley rightly says, that's the important bit when we have this team dynamic.

 

[Redditch Fox]

Yes, the main objective in this transfer window was to retain our best players.

We did need another striker but the Russians didn't want or need to sell and Remy would probably have been a disrupting factor because of his wage demands - Leicester don't pay Chelsea rates.

A couple of injuries and we will be a bit light.....but that's the nature of the game.

The popular belief is that our position is false and we will inevitably fall away, I am pleased we keep proving them wrong, but we are not yet seen as a 'top' club.

It would take at least 3 or 4 seasons at the top to improve our reputation sufficiently to be able to compete for the top players IMO (and that's not considering competing financially)

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Shame we couldn't get that striker in but I wouldn't want us to rush and bring in any old fecker if the targets we want aren't obtainable. Remy can get stuffed for £90kpw

Appreciate that, but ultimately, signing for a club that might win the premier league this year and fall to 9th after is (I'd assume) significantly more interesting than signing for a club that is 8th every year.

 

[Motown Fox]

There was a bid for Ronaldinho apparently but it was rejected.

From Yeovil then? I thought their broken fax machine had prevented them from bidding.

 

[Moose]

If that Ronaldinho story is true then I'm the pope. Obviously just his tinpot agent trying to stir up some interest.

 

[SJN-Fox]

Mercury has said it's rubbish.

 

[Motown Fox]

Has French teenage sensation Ousmane Dembele been mentioned?

I can add this now.

surprise surprise Arsenal now after Dembele!

 

[M17TT C]

If only we could have kept hold of our top secret list of players that no other club knew about.

That pesky Superscout

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

I am sure every club has a 'snitch' who tells other clubs, for a suitably full brown envelope, whose scouts have visited and who they were watching.

Ranieri was watching Roma - Real Madrid last night. I wonder which players he was putting on his wish list?
