Morpheus Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Samba going QPR ,great just want their Defence who hasn't conceded to 3 of the current top 4 needed. I mocked QPR and their purchasing but the joke is on us now.. embarrassing They had the foresight to employ a good manager who the chairman is willing to back.

HeyAnty Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I have to say, I didn't watch many Wigan games last season, but was Diame that good. He left Wigan on a free, and signed for West Ham, no disrespect, but suddenly he is supposed to be interesting "top clubs" because of his release fee. There was no fee 6 months ago. It's not like managers wouldn't have seen him play in some strange foreign league. During Wigans run of 7 wins at the end of the season, he played only 20mins as a sub in one game, and 5 minutes in another. Well i saw him play for west ham against liverpool this season. He was super. They were 2-1 up with 20 or so mins to go and he go injured and had to go off. Liverpool came back and won 3-2. Wouldnt have happened if he had stayed on the pitch.

regular_john Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Just to be clear, Stoke are offering £10 million plus Jones for Bent? If that's the case, I'd take it! Jones would come in as 4th choice behind Benteke, Weimann and Agbonlahor and it would give us some money to sign a midfielder/defender with.

Yes I saw him in that one and to be fair, he was good, but then I have also seen Joe Bennett have a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Gets the tin hat out. £12million plus Upson for Bent ? I reckon the Jones link is just lazy journalism regurgitating last summers links as they know **** all. Checking out stokes squad on transfer market I noticed Marc Wilson is listed as a LB & DM Republic of Ireland international in anyone know how good he is ? Could be what we need.

EastEndVillan Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I read somewhere, can't remember where that Diame's release fee was closer to £7m rather than the £3.5 being banded about. So that would put that one to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaCas Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 £12mil for Bent straight cash Diame £3.5 Holt Loan (Norwich want rid) CB - I'm open to offers on this one A winger either side An ambitious list for a club who don't want to spend money on wages It's very unlikely that Diame would come to us even if we doubled his wages (I reckon he will be looking for £60k a week?) - Arsenal are still favourites to sign him I'd take Holt on loan but we don't really need him and wewould be the last team Norwich would loan too I'd sign a CB personally but i don't think Lambert will be allowed to - hopefully Dunne will be available Saturday releasing Clark to play in midfield Width is an expensive talent to buy - Width plus workrate even more so - I can't see us being at all for this The best i am hoping for is a change of heart from Lerner and the funds to buy Stephens or Trotter or similar I'd also take Carragher on loan and pop him in defensive midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted January 30, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 30, 2013 We don't need another striker if we sell Bent. Jones would just be another player we'd struggle to shift when we want to sell him. He's a player who only turns up once every 5 games. No thanks. I'd rather just take 10m and no player than 10m and Jones. We could use those wages better elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
