richmfc 41 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Whats going on with Pedro Silva Torrejon?, have we signed him onloan from what i understand hes a very attackive left back who could play lw at a push. Might be a move to get goals from lb position like Van Aanholt use to do at sunderland. He's the young lad isn't he. He will go into the u23s Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Changing Times Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'm trying to put this in a way that hopefully won't be misconstrued. I'd rather we sacked Karanka today than wasted time and money on players to placate him that we really don't want or need. You know best, thanks for your advice. :) Just post something relevant or worth reading once. I dare you. Link to post Share on other sites
Hobo 58 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Sky Sources: Watford have agreed fees of £3.5m with Hull & Middlesbrough for midfielder Adlene Guedioura. Up to player where he goes now. Link to post Share on other sites
Ayresome7 187 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Reportedly the fee for Guedioura is 3m and Hull City are favourites to sign. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Changing Times Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Well I'd hope that's not the reason we'd make any signings to be honest. That line seems to have come from the Sky correspondent at rockliffe today and to me it seems like a bit of a cop out to me. I think there's possibly some truth to it especially if we're seriously looking at a player such as Guedioura. There's no way he has been part of our planning or whatever, I just don't believe that.

richmfc 41 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 How is De Sart getting on at Derby? I heard he had a good first game, not heard anything since. Anyone know? Capable of stepping up to PL standards next year? Exelent first game. Subbed off at half time second. Needs a good few game run I'd say Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'm trying to put this in a way that hopefully won't be misconstrued. I'd rather we sacked Karanka today than wasted time and money on players to placate him that we really don't want or need. I've got to say I agree. If we bring in a player who is likely to start 10 games between now and the end of the season, fair enough. If we bring in a player just to have an extra body in the squad, it's utterly pointless. Edit: But Will is right in that it's just a line from Sky to keep the 'Karanka in crisis' story ticking along. Link to post Share on other sites
richmfc 41 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I personally think Guedioura is a canny signing this late in the day if we are sticking with 433. But a left winger is still priority number one for me and we certainly shouldn't be scurrying about the whoopsie isle looking for recruits. Is that isle in Tesco or Asda I can't find it Link to post Share on other sites

Lincoln Smog 42 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Wasn't somebody on here desperate for us to sign Guedioura a few windows ago? Seems like a solid addition if we get him if not spectacular. Does show that we are in for players and these things can come out of the blue though. Link to post Share on other sites

If we bring in a player who is likely to start 10 games between now and the end of the season, fair enough. If we bring in a player just to have an extra body in the squad, it's utterly pointless. We won't need to sack him, he will walk. I was hounded yesterday for suggesting we will be panic buying today for the sake of it and this Watford player is exactly that. No strategy whatsoever. I bet he was definitely not on the shopping list Karanka put forward before the Transfer Window. Link to post Share on other sites
CWC 383 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Just been informed that we're considering Tom Ince. Honestly would happily take someone like Townsend now! Tom Ince is 5H1TE Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 We could probably do with another option in the centre of midfield with us now playing the 3 there so often, but Guediora signing for us certainly wouldn't solve our main problem. Link to post Share on other sites
RonnieBobba 29 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Can somebody ban KM until the window is closed, I can't deal with reading his multi-personality disorder posts on a day like today! Link to post Share on other sites

This move isn't going to placate Karanka, spending 15m on a decent player from out of nowhere would placate Karanka... and us. Karanka is probably thinking exactly the same as us about this potential transfer which is WTF? He just has the added bonus of being questioned about why he isn't playing him when the club bought him for AK. Link to post Share on other sites
