He would be a good short term solution at left back. Agreed if Ashley Cole is willing to come to us where he will be guaranteed games from January onwards we should try to make this one happen. He has experience, would command respect from the rest of the team and could make a big impact. I would not say no to Campbell either. These would be only loans but they would show we are prepared to look for a possible lifeline rather than to sink without a fight.

OneNightInRotterdam Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Gould mentioned loan move for Remy. Would be a great move. Edited December 7, 2015 by OneNightInRotterdam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Remy would be good but it would depend on Chelsea buying 2 strikers , as the other 2 they have Costa and Falcao are doing nothing for them at moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole Is good Campell wouldn't add much to what we have winger wise IMO. Would prefer flamini or Rosiciky on loan.

Unfortunately yes. Because Campbell isn't needed but they add cover, Cazorla is injured now too so they will most likely be needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbauer24 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hutton - Richards - Okore - COLE would be an encouraging defence Any 'proper/ proven' striker would be an improvement, loan or not. We can't buy 'prospects' in January. We need both those to happen as otherwise every team will target our LB (Richardson, Bacuna or Clark?) and know we're very unlikely to score anyway! Can't see it happening though, would require wages... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneNightInRotterdam Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 January will define Lerner's era of our great club. And indeed our long term future. Let's hope he acts like a true "custodian" for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richardson is utter shit But Cole is 34, played for Roma 11 times last year, hasn't played since May, is expecting his first child, he's not the answer, I would seriously doubt his heart being in it Also he's out of contract, if we were serious about signing him why isn't he training with us already? Where is he training? I think it's a lazy LB + garde ex arsenal link that has no chance of happening 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I think Cissokho back makes the most sense for us. We could definitely do with a big signing to give the club a bit of a lift but we need to make sure it's a great fit for the team; someone who can just slot right in. Garde is starting to get the team a little more settled and as a result, I think he'll know exactly what he's missing and wants to sign in Jan. Despite everything, we're still not dead and buried.

Stevo985 Posted December 7, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 7, 2015 I think Cissokho and Senderos being added to the squad would improve the defence without spending a penny. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I'd not have Cole. Too expensive, washed up to the max and would be undroppable. And if the guy from Caen couldn't cut it at Wigan I have strong doubts about him here. What's clear is we need Lerner to sanction some cash to have a chance, talking £30mil. Even then we will have trouble convincing people to come apart from has beens, never wases and never will bes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 7, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 7, 2015 Cole is an interesting one. I like the idea of it. But I think the posters in here who have their reservations might be onto something. I don't think he'd be a bad shout if he was the only choice, regardless of his age and motivation, just because of our lack of alternatives. But we could probably find a better solution elsewhere.
