January Transfer Window - Your Ins N Outs

[StandFree1982]

Who would you like to see us bring in / what position would you like us to strengthen, and who do you think will leave / should leave in the window?

 

I think we need someone stronger in the midfield who is going to go into tackles 100% and is strong in the air. We have some very good players in our midfield, but nobody that's going to stick a foot in where it hurts and put a bit of fear into the opposition.

 

I would also like to see us bring in another striker. someone who is quick and is actually a footballer (for examples of the opposite of this, see Zola and Wright). Parker will likely be gone in January and Goodwillie isn't that type of player. It would be good to have someone who can feed off Rooney and give provide him with a bit more support.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see Logan leave in January. He had a fantastic season last time around, but he's been poor by his own standards this term and doesn't look like he wants to be here. I'd get rid of him for the benefit of both him and us. I'd not hold a grudge as he's done his part and having to do that trip home every week must be shite, but he'd be better off moving closer to home.

 

Maybe let Smith go? if anyone shows any sign of interest. I'd personally like to see a bit more of him, but he's really not looking like he's in McInnes plans and Storie is even getting some game time so might spell the end of his time at Pittodrie.

Out: Only if we bring in a replacement - Parker (shite). Robson (past it).

In: I only want to bring a player in they're going to improve our team. Midfielder - if Shinnie is going to continue to yoyo between LB and CM, we'll need a better CM replacement than Flood. Attacker (Rooney is the only one scoring of our strikers). Tempted to say defender as we'll need to replace Logan soon enough anyway.

 

I wouldn't let Smith go. He's still young, still in the 'got potential' bracket. Would be a bit hasty getting shot.

Forgot about Robson, stick him on the coaching staff and terminate his playing contract. No point in him wasting a space on the bench that a youngster could be occupying and paying wages for him to just play U20 games every so often.

 

I'd like Smith to stay but i'm just thinking if McInnes doesn't rate him and not playing him then it might be best to move him on.

[RAZOR]

Parker has to be the first one out the door, I'm surprised it hasn't been done already.

 

Striker and a goal scoring CM (hard but it has to be done)

[King Street Loon]

Get rid of Parker and McGlaughlin. Loan ends anyway, so simple enough.

Robson obviously isn't going to get a look in. Move into coaching role and seek a replacement.

Midfield is a priority. I'd also like to see a winger brought in to challenge McGinn or Hayes. They've had it easy for too long and I think that's reflected in some of their performances.

I'd like Wright to be given more game time to challenge that winger spot.

 

Agreed about Robson; he needs to hang up his boots and use his experience and influence to help off the park.

I don't think you can cut a loan contract just for the sake of it outwith the transfer window.

[The Boofon]

Rooney out, Stevie May in.

[zander]

In
Alan Gow
Russell Anderson

Out
Jamie Langfield

That's a bold statement.

Really? That seems odd.

[Guest the shepherd]

My In would be Lionel Messi with maybe Josh Parker making way to free up a wage. Over to you Mr McInnes.....

[the sheep]

Out

Parker

McGlaughlin

Robson

Goodie

Rooney (sorry but yes Rooney) hopefully for money

 

In

Sean Maloney

Johny Russel

Charlie Adam (how much longer can he play at that level)

 

Good start with these three and we need to aim high. No point in saying that these are outwith our budget. Its the sort of level of player we should be looking at. We need to bring in good experienced players to bring the young guys on a level

[Dave Bus]

Chris Burke and Anthony stokes in, goodwillie, parker and McLaughlin out

[Guest the shepherd]

Chris Burke and Anthony stokes in, goodwillie, parker and McLaughlin out

Very good shout.

[RAZOR]

Chris Burke and Anthony stokes in, goodwillie, parker and McLaughlin out

McLaughlin out according to twitter. Been sent hame.

[Tord31]

Parker and McLaughlin will leave. It appears going by his twitter that Ryan M is already back training with Liverpool.

 

I think we should make a decent effort to sell Logan for a modest transfer fee.

 

In the way - would be keen to get Ross Draper on board for a wee £100k

 

if we lose Logan we'll need a loanee right back

 

also a decent winger would be good as we are over reliant on mcginn and hayes performing (and playing on the wing)

[RAZOR]

Klopp must have requested he return.

[Bamber]

In(permanent) Ziggy Gordon

In (Loan) Defensive midfielder

 

Out

 

Mclaughlin

Parker

Logan

U20 Player/Coach Robson

[RAZOR]

Ross Draper? Murray Davidson?

 

We need goals.The latter would give us that but struggles with injuries

[Dave Bus]

Ziggy Gordon is a horse

[Bamber]

Young player I quite like and fills a position that needs filling in the next few months - don't forget he is only 22. one of the better players in a decent Hamilton team

 

If logan is offski its a position we need to fill

[sooth_stander]

Rooney out, Stevie May in.

Stevie May has done his cruciate

A bold statement

[Clydeside_Sheep]

Do we have a credible idea of what kind of funds are available to deeke, if any?

 

(note I avoided the hun phrase of "war chest")

[the sheep]

Ward

 

Logan Taylor Reynolds Shinnie

 

Charlie Adams (signed)

 

Hays McLean McGinn

 

Goodie

Johny Russell (signed)

 

Willing to give Goodie another chance with another partner up front. Use money from selling Rooney, Pawllete and Jack for what we can get and freeing up wages from Robson, Flood and the guys that are sold to bring in two quality players.

[Tord31]

interesting

[Poodler]

Charlie Adam? Mon min cunt will Probs be on £20k a week.

 

Also, mcloughlin going back to Liverpool, surely Klopp doesn't see anything in him?

You don't know till you ask. A long term contract on a wage we can afford. He cant play at that level for much longer and how long will it be before they are spending big. We took too long to get Robson here. Already he was passed his best. Look at the difference both he and Hartley made to the team. Both leaders and that's what we would get from Adams. Some players and positions are worth pushing the boat out for. A leader out on the pitch is required. If not Adams a midfielder in that mould.

[newcastlered]

Charlie Adam starts for a Premier League team. Absolutely no chance he joins us in January. Ridiculous thought. Jonny Russell also regularly plays for Derby who are in the playoffs. No chance of him coming in either.

 

For midfield I'd like Jackson Irvine in at defensive midfielder. Andy Shinnie would be a cracking signing but is regularly on the bench at Birmingham so doubt that'll be possible.

 

For right back to replace Logan fuck knows. Hopefully McInnes has been looking for another signing like Shay Logan when he came on loan.
