The annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded Winter 2014/15 rumours thread

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Do loan players have the same level of commitment as permanent players? Do they share the same team bond/ethos? Did Powell not get a look in because of a possible training pitch attitude problem?

 

[jb5000]

Is that a loan problem or a Powell problem though - there have been suggestions of attitude problems from within his parent club too.

Transfer news: West Brom enquire about Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher

IF he's available and fit to play, would be a good signing for many teams in the Premier League I reckon, us included.

For how many games tho?

Oh don;t get me wrong, I agree. That's why I put 'IF', though.

I don't see the difference between a loan and a signing with a relegation release clause to be honest. Both a risk.

Was always reported as his preferred option, and they now have £28m burning a hole in the owners pocket.

Benoit Assou-Ekotto available on a free, worth a shot for left back?

**** no. Not only a over rated price of crap. But an attitude to boot.

Good job we didnt spend £9m on David McGoldrick. He looks off the pace against southampton and has a bad touch/vision.

 

[Motown Fox]

The difference in class looks very clear to see.

We could go for this player as he's put himself back into the picture

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Yeah right. Was the medium shirt he was holding in front of his XXXL body for him or his son?!

Leicester apparently have rejected a £5 million bid from West Brom for Jamie Vardy according to goal.com.

Swansea and Norwich appear to appear to be open to offers for two decent-enough left backs (or better than Konchesky at least)

Well, that is totally unfounded.

Okazaki rumours continue to grow, apparantly some German newspapers are reporting that a fee has been agreed, if true shame hes currently unavailable to play for us as he is playing for Japan in the Asian Cup

I don't really get this link, we are desperate for players who can hit the ground running and this guy doesn't seem to fit the bill.

Scott Sinclair, Taylor from Swansea, there are Premier League players available but we seem to be buying obscure foreigners.

Fits in nicely with Pearson continually bringing on an inexperienced kid from the bench rather than a Premier League experienced winger.

****, I'm miserable today.

 

[East Anglia Fox]

I've often thought we should get Scott Sinclair on loan too, but I doubt it's going to happen. After all, if he could rediscover the form of the 11/12 season he'd be a great asset.
