rodders0223 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 We also bought Shaun Maloney that window I see, for a cheeky £1m. I always thought was a very talented player back then, certainly great for the squad but couldn't settle.Christ, that was a decent window. Quality not quantity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, he would've been out of contract in the Summer, his free kicks were class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BOF Posted January 13, 2017 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2017 Lansbury has a bit of nasty and cocky about him too. I remember when we played Forest and he was in our faces and all antagonistic. I remember thinking I wouldn't mind having him on our side. Obviously I 'hated' his antics on the day, but he certainly stood out 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way we got kicked all over the pitch last time was embarassing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 After spending the last few days on twitter, it's relatively tranquil here all of a sudden. You're not all suggesting that we should piss money up the wall unnecessarily to get deals done. On Hourihane, I'm astonished they're willing to let him go for £1m. If we can outbid Wednesday, sensibly, then we should try, but only if we need to. We should do our very best to convince the player that his future lies here regardless, because he's very good and that price is 90's value. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When have we ever gone into January and made a raft of signings? Sylla, Holt, Dawkins, Heskey, Routledge. Going back to deadly Djemba Djemba was the only signing I can remember. ...and when you do pay money you get your eye taken out. Darren Bent. This window is a monumental waste of time, and SSN can go ***** themselves with the utter tripe they come up with to sensationalise this tripe. I had hoped we would do business early doors, naively but it's the same as always. Very difficult. All the more reason to hate RDM. Darren Bent in my eyes was an absolute bargain, mainly because of his return on interest, without his goals that season we would've gone down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam3773 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Just saw that. The Sun are reporting we've agreed a 28k a week deal for Hourihane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 According to my Barnsley fan mate, hourihane is their best player by an absolute mile. Takes absolutely everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hoping the sun are correct for once- allegedly agreed personnel terms with hourihane. Also itv reporting transfer embargo lifted at forest. Hopefully we can get both signed early next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Staring to get excited again now, if we managed to sign both Lansbury and Hourihane then our central midfield is going to be significantly strengthened, best in the league? From the worst X) Honestly, if we managed just to get those 2 deals done I would not complain. The more the better though, Bruce has also stated he is on the lookout for a quality striker too which I think is great. We've missed out on a few targets (no biggie) but have deals in the pipeline it seems... The Gollini loan kind of makes sense I suppose, better than selling him anyway as I think he's got huge potential at such a young age and we would regret letting him go in the future as he develops. Not gonna get game time here so may as well keep sharp elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I like the look of Hourihane as he has a left peg. Something we clearly lack in midfield. He'd add a bit of balance to the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
