The signing of Bafra might be a rubicon moment for the regime. What are the expectations for the rest of the window?

 

Nice Parky lad.

 

I am please with Barfa, but he must need his head testing.

 

I wouldnt mind Bentley, but no way Keane, past it IMO, we dont want other teams cast offs, we have our own with Shola.

 

I want Ranger to get a start, was dissapointed to see he didnt start v Wigan with the way he changed the game v Liverpool, although not seen much footy since then.

Quietly Confident that we will be better at the end of it than we were going in.

 

My main concern is Barton. As contract needs renewing and nothings being done yet, he's vulnerable.

 

 

Am i right in thinking he was the only one who threw his shirt to the fans after the wigan game?

 

Could be a sign................................................. :calmdown:

I hope not. Hopefully his reputation as a bad boy will have managers thinking twice to sign him. I want him to stay :(

Nah think he was the second, but he did make a point of waiting till everyone else had come back and then walked over slowly and threw it in

Nar. Tiote came over to us first and threw his. I distinctly remember because my mate said 'Fuckin hell, he's black as out' then realised he had a tight breathable top on underneath his shirt. :(

 

Taylor came over and gave it the two fisted pump but the rest of them just took off down the tunnell.

i'd like to think that the ben arfa is a sign of things to come and we reinforce the squad rather then letting any first team players go. previous windows suggest this probably won't be the case but there's no time like the present for ashley to prove us wrong and show us he has some level of ambition. i've got fingers and toes crossed.

Think we might get Bentley on loan with no one going out. That's about it tbh. I'd love another striker coming in with a bit of pace.

if that's the case, we'll have done alreet i reckon. then we'd be looking at a front 6 of this:

 

 

bentley---tiote----barton----jonas

 

-----------ben arfa

 

------------carroll

 

or this:

 

 

bentley---tiote----barton--ben arfa

 

------------nolan

 

------------carroll

 

 

both decent line ups. hanging on to carroll is key.

That's basically ideal position imo. Here he can dictate play and take potshots at his want. And of course set up chances. What to do with Nolan?

If we bring in Bentley and get him playing to his best again then we are in a really strong position for the rest of this season and for the start of next season. Would love to see Bentley sign and for us to get another decent striker in to play off Carroll, or even someone who can get goals should Carroll get injured again.

 

Really really want Shola to be sold but can't see it happening, and sometime before the start of next season (jumping the gun a bit, I know) I would like a big clear out with the likes of Perch, Lovenkrands, Raylor e.t.c shipped out, and a couple of decent back ups for CB/RB (or get Staylor playing well at RB).

 

So yeah, just Bentley and another ST would be the dream. Can only really see one more signing, but would probably be content with just Ben Arfa right now.

Shola's the 2nd best striker at the club tbh. I know he's not very good (that's me being polite) but I'd rather see Best, Xisco and Lovenkrands shipped out first because they're all inferior.

I thought we'd try and pick up a few of the Championship players, so was a little disappointed to see Fryatt go to Hull. Nicky Maynard has been injured so I doubt he's on the clubs radar and I can't think of another striker with pace in that league.

 

I'd be very surprised if we got Bentley, so that would be a massive bonus. Even though we badly need a striker with pace, I'd gladly settle for Bentley as the only signing.

 

 

Luis Suarez, Bentley and van Aanholt would be an idea window.

that is all too true. Best was hilarious against wigan. pub player tbh. for some reason (and against all better instinct) i still think lovenkrands will do a job for us. probably because of his speed over the ground. though even thats fading now....

 

I reckon we need 2 different forwards. one more mobile, one more skilful or target man like.
