Where we linked with Bernard before he signed ? I’m not even sure there was much of a link with Gomes , although I’m not sure on that

If it's a policy of sell one to buy one we wont see much trading.

So no then ?

I’ve no idea if you’re right though to be honest

We're not being linked with anyone other than Batshuayi - and that looks tenuous.

We are if you look at the great sources like goal and likes.
Better to have no stupid links and then sign some one perhaps like what happened with Bernard and zouma

Phil Kirkbride saying tosun can leave for 20 million.. Doubt we get that much but shows that we want to get rid of him and Niasse and get some one.

I think he is worth that still tbh. Our fans do go a way bit OTT with how crap some players are. He's still a good player, he just doesn't fit our system and is too slow to play the lone role in this league. I think he could still actually be a good player in the prem if he played in a front two and his finishing means he'd be alright in a lot of other leagues.

I don't see why we should be taking a bit hit on him already, there's strikers like solanke who have barely scored a goal in their life going for a similar fee.

Halfway through January and no one sold and no one in.

The cult of Brands in action.

Could be Dave that the desired player/players are not available or at the right price. Now you would not want us to pay 30 mill for a 15 mill player would you or you would!!!

He should at least have his ear to the ground...they're big enough to hear anything.

How do you know he has not.

Surprise surprise nobody wants to take any of our trash rejects off us.

Cedric, RB at the Saints?

Hope we resign Lacina Traore

What a marvellous piece of January business that was

We'll panic buy and Dave will moan, we'll not sign anyone and Dave will moan, we'll wait until the Summer for our actual targets and Dave will moan.

The only constants in life are death, taxes and Dave being miserable.

To be fair - 1 goal in 1 appearance.

Well that's a stability withiout a cutting edge, because none of DCL, Tosun or Niasse can find the net wit regularity.

We needd players in ready for the start of next season as much as the remainder of this.

I agree with that to call them strikers for me is a bit of a misnomer.

Don’t you dare suggesr Dave would criticise that , next thing you know you’ll be saying he’s loiking for things to moan about .

If we got rid of all our dead wood we wouldn't have much of a squad left.
If we could sell a few of them then we might raise enough to buy a decent player.
This could take years to rebuild, not a couple of transfer windows.
