The Night-Owl Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Might we be back in for Kenwyne Jones, sounds like Cardiff are resigned to losing him in the January window has he's out of contract in the summer. Do you think we're still interested? No question we can afford his wages now, after the supposed Adebayor offer/interest. If he did sign, I'd like us to bring in a mobile energetic striker alongside him too. Such as a Dwight Gayle or Patrick Bamford on loan or up our efforts to bring in Ross McCormack or someone similar? Whilst also extending Hooper's loan if possible.

WayneTheOwl Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Kenwyne Jones, Dwight Gale/Patrick Bamford & Hooper? Where does that leave Joao - 4th choice? Not a prayer we would bring in 2 more strikers as well as Hooper. A striker pool of Joao, Hooper & Rhodes would be perfect. But then Hooper & Rhodes would cost onwards of £90k a week between them and one of them wouldn't play each week so its too much of an expensive luxury. For me its as simple as Joao, Hooper (till the end of the season) and Nuhiu. We are 4th? top scorers in league so scoring goals is not a problem, spend the cash elsewhere. 2 Wingers, Centre Mid (even then I don't personally think we need another baring in mind McGugan, Lopez and Mathias (when fit) can all play there) and Centre Back. This narrows it down to 2 wingers and a centre back for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I'd simply bin Nuhiu and free up wages by getting rid of the likes of Lachman and Dielna, McGugan seems surplus too? Unsure whether or not we will extend Hooper's loan but personally I'd keep him instead of Nuhiu and bring in the extra quality we need. A centre back, midfielder and a couple of forwards. Although we could always wait till the summer but DC seems ruthless and ambitious enough to not pass up the chance this season gives us with momentum and being so close to top six. Then even if we did miss out, we'll have a strong chance the following season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Meh, McCormack, Rhodes and Hooper, it's Adebayor all the way for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Keep all the forwards and offload a couple of midders and defenders who dont feature. Adthe, Hoops, Lucas all offer something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Adebayor was a unfounded rumour same as the Carlos for Swansea agent talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Adthe doesn't offer a lot and certainly not enough to be a top six forward, let alone a decent one for this level. Best getting rid and upgrading if we want to go where DC wants to take us, anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Given their transfer embargo's who is worth nicking off Bolton, Forest & Fulham? 6 month swansong off Scott Parker. Still a regular at Fulham aged 35. Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Byram's a superb player - so superb I suspect he'll be straight off to the premier league in the window while Leeds can still get some money for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 More chance of getting McCormack than Rhodes I reckon. What with Fulham's record this season and little hope of getting anywhere near the play-offs. Whereas Blackburn have picked up under Lambert and are no longer under an embargo. And with the Fulham double header coming up soon, perhaps we'll renew interest after those fixtures? Both are expensive and unlikely but McCormack seems the more likely to me. Could see Nuhiu getting binned and Hooper deal getting extended. Leaving us needing two new strikers? Names linked this season and lately are exciting and a far cry from the past decade. Haven't Fulham just been handed a transfer embargo along with Bolton and Forest (again). If so I can't see them selling their better players, no matter how much we offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start selling their best attackers too and they might struggle to avoid the drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Agreed. Their defence is rubbish, and they can't replace. Start selling their best attackers too and they might struggle to avoid the drop. But on the flip side wont offloading some high earners lift the embargo ? Im no expert on FFP ,so not sure if this is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not soon enough to impact on this season. It'll be in place until the summer at least, regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorian gray Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Adthe Nuhiu out and a couple of quality strikers to be brought in. hooper (extend if poss,)... adebayor (loan)... maybe a couple more to the squad... and let the 'serious stuff' commence...

No it won't lift the embargo but my understanding is if a team under an embargo sells a player they can use the money from the sale to buy another player or players.
