Jan 2012 Transfer Window Rumours

[gessa]

Let's reserve judgement on Rodgers until SG removes him from his preferred position and shoehorns him into position of need.

But that won't be for another 2 years or so ,after he's played the odd behind closed door kick about plus 6 appearances on the bench,and the 1 league cup game at Bury.

I'm a patient man...

If it looks like a Sebastian Sorsa, and walks like a Sebastian Sorsa...it's probably a Sebastian Sorsa....

Incontinent 64, is that an age thing

[mav]

can't be worse than Nunez can he!

[Gurj]

Another winger snodgrass Sam Nunez white Townsend and now Rodgers. Thought centre of defence and a holding player would have been priority but you know Simon he likes his wingers

I am with you on this Joe.

Cant quite fathom the logic of this one - one area where you would feel we already have talent is wingers. With Bates continuing to harp on about limited funds etc etc, why use precious money on a position where we Snoddy/Townsend will fill week in week out if fit ?

Surely we should be using every available £ on a tough tackling central midfielder who can get round the park ( i.e. not Brown or Varynen) and a pacy central defender ?!

I dont understand Grayson at times, I really dont.

Or a Pierre Laurent maybe ?!

Replacement for Snoddy

Replacement for Snoddy

Absolute stone-wall certainly

[Emsley]

Eye.
If snods or andros get injured... Would you count on Sam to spearhead any hope?

I think its a good signing and one grayson has dug up again.
Just got a feeling. (neck on chopping block for that i think)

If a bid for snod comes in we will get the money for the pot, so why so concerned????? :mrgreen:

I've given up trying to work out what Grayson is thinking . Is this Rogers better than Snoddy/Townsend?Nunez/Sam ? The level he has played at isn't that high , I think , don't know a lot about MLS admitedly ........ just strikes me as odd when other area's need more urgent work on them . If the club needed wingers he'd probably go get a central defender .

[weasel]

Jeez everyone is so f*cking down on the lad - give him a chance to at least kick a ball for us. It's a cheap gamble.

And why are people knocking SG for not getting the other signings in yet - is he supposed to say sorry Mr Rogers don't sign yet cos we need a defender - why not talk to some other clubs whilst we take our time making an important signing.

As part of a normal teams normal window transfer dealings that signing would probably make sense when the window closes and we get to see the grand plan all along...It's just with us you get the feeling there is no master plan just the sense that SG has gone shopping again without a list...."oh bugger..I needed a holding midfieder....ah well to late now I'm back at the car"

cheap gambles are the 5 quid to win on the rank outsider....this has that feel you're quite right

Probably won't be better than Snoddy (who could well be on the way now...), but Sam hasn't ever come back to the level he was at before he got injured and Max took over... Townsend isn't our player, and although he's got talent, he'll still pack off back to Spurs at the end of the season. Nunez isn't a winger and until we start playing him in his proper position behind the striker/s then we won't see the best of him!

I agree with Weasel in that we should wait to see him to play before we judge him. MLS has a bad rep, but there've been a few successes recently and hopefully he can give us a little boost.

If this is true then I would happily take him on loan... But only if Snoddy goes as we definitely would have too many wingers otherwise!

Is it bollocks this rodgers story another Grella to me garbage, looks garbage on You Tube

When I published last night - ahead of everyone else - I'd already had it confirmed via a well-known American blogger who knows his agent. Doesn't sound like the most reliable source, which is why I didn't add him to the article linked earlier, but he's always been spot on in the past and a few football league bloggers drill him for info. Andrew Haigh had also confirmed via his own source, so I was 99.9% certain of the accuracy.

Anyway, I explained the work permit application in the article below and can't understand why Leeds United are so confident? They must know something we don't? Long lost Aunt perhaps?
