January Transfer Window 2012

So with the Window opening in less then 24 hours, the rumour mill is in full swing.
Has your club any players lined up? Or are they shutting up shop and hoping no players will be leaving.

At the moment it looks like Cahill will be joining Chelsea from Bolton. That will mean they have cash to spend and could be the ones to spark the transfer merry-go-round.

Arsenal look set to bring back Henry on loan, although I think Wenger maybe be looking to strengthen else where considering he will want to get a top 4 spot and progress in the C.L.


QPR boss Neil Warnock reckons he could do with 4 players, so no doubt there will be some fresh faces at Loftus Road.

Stoke boss Tony Pulis has said up to 6 players are free to leave The Britannia in this window, but will he be looking to replace the out going players ?

I expect Tottenham to do some business. As much as old Candleface hates the tag of "wheeler and dealer" he is the expert so I expect he has some players lined up.

Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic seems to be linked with virtually every Premier League side outside the current top 4 at the moment but where will he end up ?

It will be a busy month I've no doubt about that

Liverpool need a proven goal scorer someone who has done it in the p.league suarez is good but will miss 9 games not convinced carroll or bellamey will fill the gap

I have a horrible feeling both Zamora and Andy Johnson will leave, and if they do, we may have a striking issue!

What about Bryan Ruiz, he is a forward isn't he ? I would say if you lose both players then you will need at least one striker in. Nicky Maynard is a name being thrown around with Fulham and several other clubs.

Andy Johnson again being linked with a £2million move to Blackburn today. Wayne Bridge has been linked with several clubs again, Liverpool, Arsenal, QPR, Newcastle.

Liverpool will need cover for Saurez if the 8 games stands. Not sure who though. Perhaps Lukas Podolski as he has been linked with several sides for a move away.

whos going to fork out £90k a week plus add on fees (agent, signing on fee etc) to this old codger former england left back? mancini said to him you go elsewhere you no longer part of the team. yet bridge hangs around man city for 2yrs playing no football and getting 90k a week he is the new wiston bogarde.

blackburn are in trouble has the venkys wont give kean a bumper war chest and venkys want to cash in on their high value players (thats samba gone along yakubu and hoillett.)

cahill to chelsea as stalled due to wage demands of the player. also chelsea could spend around £150m on younger players and move on the old codgers of chelsea. £84m (buy out clause) for Hulk

if johnson and zamora leave then jol is looking andre-pierre gignac.

rodwell will the transfer saga of this window or next.

I don't really expect any big transfers at Liverpool if any at all unless Damien Comolli finds Kenny a youngster or two. We could do with a goalscorer but I doubt that will happen in January due to the prices & unwillingness to sell.

Err we've got José Enrique who at the moment is possibly the best performing left back in the league not to mention Jack Robinson a good young player as well as Daniel agger & Glen Johnson who can fill the role.

We won't just go out & buy a striker just because Luis Suarez might be missing, we've got enough cover as it is with Andy Carroll, Craig Bellemy, Dirk Kuyt & Steven Gerrard, we need a new striker but as I said I don't see it happening next month.

If Fulham or anyone of these type of clubs are looking for a striker who'll cost less than £5m they should look at Rickie Lambert maybe £3-£5m & Billy Sharp £3m from the championship.

I don't see any of the top six doing big business outside of maybe the Chelsea Gary Cahill deal & Tottenham saying they'll look to get a big signing if possible, I can see them going for Kaká like they did with Rafael van der Vaart.

there is a rumour going villa park that darren bent is looking to leave villa with a possibility of going to back london with qpr or to liverpool.

Was rumour the other day about Del Piero to rovers hope not del piero was class player but that was 10 years ago think it was more venkys smoke screen

Yeah he is a forward, but if they both go, as you say we need at least 1 striker, and he needs to be a natural goal scorer rather than a Zamora type player, a hug long shot, but Darren Bent would be nice!

That's one rumour I'd like NOT to see become fruitful.
