2013 January Transfer Window Thread

Odemwingie???

Transfer request rejected though wasn't it?

Don't think we need a striker though, Anichibe/Vellios have looked good coming on as subs, give 'em a go Moyes.

 

[Christiffa25]

Still think it will be landy cakes!!

 

[ProZ]

The thing is though he says at the start of the window he said we have no money and that hasn't really changed??

He then talks about a wry smile, and says we will have to wait to find out?

This means a few possibilities

1. Big name loan
2. Takeover LOL

Odemwingie???

I say this would be a good shout. The lad is quick and would be cheap for a 31 year old.

Would be a good replacement for Kev M who wont play for us the rest of the season.

And although work is going on behind the scenes at Goodison to recruit another midfielder and possibly a striker before the deadline on Thursday night, Moyes insists his options are limited and any business is likely to happen at the end of the week.

He said: “I think from the start I said that January wouldn’t be full of signings, I don’t think I’ll be changing my tune from where we started.

“You never know, we might. We’ve tended to be Christmas Eve shoppers in the past, so hold on to your hat.

“I don’t think there has been a big market at the moment.

“There have been a certain few clubs and there’s been the odd buy, Liverpool buying Sturridge, but not many clubs have done an awful lot. QPR, Newcastle, and Reading have tried to bring in players to help them but there isn’t a lot around the mid-group. I don’t think January’s a good market.â€

Moyes said he has a list of targets he is working on, even if it is hardly stacked with realistic options.

“We have targets but a lot of them, the club might not want them to go until the summer or you can’t get them until the summer,†he said.

“So there are some players we would be keen on if it was possible but most clubs don’t want to be doing an awful lot.

“Maybe some clubs need the money and might sell a player and that’s something we have to look at.

“There aren’t 20 (players) available.

“If you realistically look around, you would look at 20 and say ‘I don’t want him, I don’t want him, I don’t need that position, I don’t want him, he’s too old, he’s not ready’ so you might come down to one or two.

“By the time you’d done all that you might find there aren’t that many, but I’ve got a wry smile. There’s no science at all. Far from it.

“It’s a bit of luck or just the way things work.â€

Whatever business he manages to do, the Scot would prefer to add quality rather than just depth to cover injuries to his squad.

He added: “If you have a couple of injuries, you might need something to give you a back-up, but I’d be hoping that we’d only be bringing someone in who could play at the top end of the Premier League and that comes down to availability or costing – that makes it difficult.â€

Moyes is such a transfer-tease...

if we wanted diame, we would have gone for him in the summer when he was free. If i remember rightly, we looked at him but passed on him because of his knees or something. lets be honest here, how many games has he actually played? he's been as influentual as gibson is to us, but what would be the point in buying an injury prone player to compete with a similar injury prone player. i don't think hitz is the worse replacement, he should definitely be starting ahead of neville atm.

We passed on Demba Ba because of his knees, and bought Miralles who had no indication of any health/fitness issues. That worked out well!

Wot about Butland 4m (desperado to sell), Ofoe loan and Odemwingie 3m (desperate to leave). If JH goes then bingo.....

Butland would be great, but we need to use the money on other positions instead.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

I'd sign Butland [whose apparently available for 3.5m] and then bring in two outfield loans, I think that could happen.

 

[Papa Shango]

Odemwingie???

Not a Moyes player at all.

why are they suddenly so desperate to get rid of butland???

 

[dutchblue54]

Need at least two now cm and attack got to be ones who can come straight in

 

[Deleted member 28206]

Odemwinge is a disgrace, he is shaking his arse at Redknapp calling him " most respected manager in the game ".

 

[kenada_blue]

why are they suddenly so desperate to get rid of butland???

Need the money.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

They badly need the cash mate.

you don't think we need a striker thats 3 games without a striker scoring i think it is a striker
