January Transfer Rumours And Squad Discussion

[Cjay]

Alan Nixon (Sun Journo) reporting Dan James is in Leeds right now awaiting his medical.

Nixon is a bit hit and miss but he did report the loan thing very early before anyone else this morning (although he seems to have got the fees wrong).

No

Not Phil Hays real account.

Thought it was too good to be true

I'm still clinging to the daft Valverde rumours

Thats Neves level of coup even if it is only a loan

Please please please Real Madrid.

So am I, Valverde is absolute class.
Real Madrid signed him on a 5 year deal when he was 15 years old.

I'm hoping but realistically doubt it, his worth 9 million and is only 19

Blunts sign Scott Hogan on loan from Villa to replace the departing Leon Clarke

That's the way to do it, have a back-up plan when moving on players

Hope you are not crying because we didn't sign Hogan, a player who has scored 7 goals in 56 matches for Villa (0 in 6 this season) and presumably is so far down their pecking order that even Dean Smith who was his former manager at Brentford doesn't want him.

His career record of 78 goals from 204 matches is greatly flattered by 21 goals in 27 appearances for Woodley Sports (I have played at their pitches and had no idea they even had any non league side), 12 further goals for other non league clubs and 17 in League 2. So his real career stats comprise of 28 goals in 89 matches at Championship level over 4 1/2 years.

No doubt will score the winner now against us.

We've had our share of idiot owners.

But this deal makes no sense to me from Swansea point of view.

Feel sorry for there fans (despite the stick i got)

Their fans do seem pretty pissed off about it on Twitter.

Which is nice.

Bugger, was always a pie in the sky dream but he is the sort of player we need, a Baker/ Saiz replacement.

Tbh Cjay, you could be a Baker replacement, 1 game at Reading, then they benched him at Bolton. Looking likely League 1 will be his career level.

[Dalton]

and was he actually on 20 grand a week? or £1m a year?
Just goes to show what sort of wages are paid out. No wonder the Bentley's are parked behind the West Stand!

Ali crosses to Cjay. . . . . . GOOAAAAAAAL

Baker was crap Ges you're right, god knows what Orta saw in him.

[1964white]

Hope you are not crying because we didn't sign Hogan

Not at all, I wouldn't want Hogan anywhere near ER

My point was the Blunts allow a player to leave but had a replacement in hand, whereas we let players go, scratch our heads in confusement, think about it & then make do as we've already done so three or four times this season

Why am I not surprised

It has to be extensive, how else it is going to injure him so he can't play for 7 weeks??

Hopefully we get the James deal over the line, if we do, can’t think of many teams in the Championship with a better transfer window than us. A well run club, top of the table, how times have changed!
