Who is on your january transfer wishlist

Id like to get an experienced defender and a proven goal scorer in this division or maybe Premier league

Vidic and Van persie

If Lappin turns out ok and John is as good as others have said just keep Lappin full season also along as Nugent continues to develop.

If we are to lose Conway another winger would be good (Phillips/Ince?) and Danny Graham and Billy Sharp up front would be great.

We also lack cover for Whitts which seems to go unnoticed not sure how we would line up our midfield without him.

So 4-5 players we'd be laughing.

I generally keep up with our development side and I think we have a lot of very very promising youngsters, O'Sullivan, Coulson, John, Darko to name a few but wouldn't want to put too much pressure on them. it's experience that's vital at the turn of the year

lappin on loan for the season if he turns out to be any good is fine.

how long is billy sharp on loan at forest for? he is a class player in this division.

Didnt we make a bit for phillips last season? think we might have competition from palace for him

Jack Hunt

Matt Phillips

Would be nice to steal a player from Palace too but apart from Zaha there's no one there I'd really want and we clearly can't afford him.

Got to be honest I haven't seen much of him but I remember he was the standout player when we played Huddersfield add to that the rave reviews I've seen on here.

I'd like to think that if we signed him though that Malky had scouted hio more than me : P

Kenny Miller 2 month loan deal. That is all.


Don't think we are that desperate for defenders to be honest. We have three CB's who are great for this level (Huds, Turner and Connolly) and one who is on the breakthrough (Nugent). We have a solid LB (Taylor) and decent cover (John, maybe even Ralls if desperate. Then we have SuperKev who can play anywhere across the back four with ease. Plus good luck finding someone who would come here to sit on the bench and wait to be called upon

if possible and all the interest from premier teams have cooled their interest then Nathan Redmond of Birmingham, Charlie Austin or craig mackail smith upfront unless velikonja breaks into team after Christmas, wisdom onloan from Liverpool if they are willing let him leave since hes been in the first team for a while.

Remember when Holloway said he wouldn't allow Phillips to go to us as we weren't a big enough club :lol: I don't think Blackpool will be challenging this season, probably top 12 but not play-offs but I think we can tempt Phillips to come here depending on league position.


Vuckic is out for season.(To few posts above)


I'd really love Phillips here, Noone and Phillips on both wings with Bellars up front would do some damage, the pace we have would be so hard to deal with.

squad should be 2 players for each position in my opinion which would leave us needing 1 full back 1 centre back and a target man to cover helgusson ( dont think gestede is up to the job )

goalkeepers - marshall & lewis
full backs - mcnaughton , taylor ,connolly (plus 1 signing)
centre backs - turner , hudson , nugent (plus 1 signing)
midfield - gunnarsson ,mutch , kiss ,cowie, kimbo
wingers - conway , noone , bellamy , kimbo , smith
playmakers - whitts & mcphail
strikers - velinkonja , mason , bellamy , smith ,
target man - helgusson , gestede (plus 1 signing )

with attacking players able to play in different positions i think our squad is quite versatile . i think a target man is needed and i would go for kenwyn jones from stoke , what about robbie keane whos playing in america and is available up until end of march ?
in defence i would go for sebastian squillaci at arsenal he is a solid c/b and hasnt played for ages he could be persuaded to get sonme game time till the end of the season . also lewis dunk at brighton has allways impressed me .
stephen kelly at fulham is intresting and what about a return for adam matthews whos not playing much at celtic ??

I would like Malky to try and get Matt Phillips on board, Vellios a greek centre forward players for Everton and a an experienced premier league player at left back :ayatollah:

Re: Who is on your january transfer wishlist

Mon Nov 26, 2012 8:22 pm

Get Malky to have a word with SAF to find out whether or not Redknapp is planning to use Fabio?

If not terminate his loan there and send him here for the remainder of season, can play left or right back.

Also, Victor Anichebe from Everton, final piece in the jigsaw! :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Marouane Chamakh would make a lot of sense- so far down the pecking order- It would have to be a loan with a view to buy- I bet he is on serious wonga at the Arse.

He would tear this division apart.

You also said Tommy Smith was crap I do recall.

Re: Who is on your january transfer wishlist

Mon Nov 26, 2012 10:02 pm

you recall incorrectly.

I did say i didnt think he was better than what we already had, and did say i didnt think he would offer much. Unlike some i can also admit to being in the wrong.

Chamakh would do well in this division sure, but "tear the division apart?" not sure his attitude is up to it.
