Thermopylae 15,286 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Certainly not a load of signings but a couple to keep the pot boiling especially if Zelalem goes back south Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMW316 48 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 For me I would love to see a good finisher in this team but the player would have to be more than just that a poacher in the Boyd mould who offers little else. Trouble is this type of player is hard to come by, even with money. We can win this league easily with the current squad so any signings in Jan should be with a view to next season as has been mentioned already.

K.A.I 36,183 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 You're mistaken. Seems to be a common themeOh right whys that?You desperately stick up for McCoist therefore no one takes anything you say seriously Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibroxholm 2,276 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I get the feeling MW prefers to keep things under wraps until the deal is pretty well done. Good philosophy IMO. DK take note. Announcing to the world that you don't think the present team is not good enough and you will need to bring in 5 players over the next year only alerts other teams and pushes up the price of any deals.

CMW316 48 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 John Swift on a pre-contract should be our top priority.Do you mean if Zelalem returns to Arsenal or regardless of that?Sorry, Ignore that question... Missed the word pre-contract, thought you meant on loan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCstuart 317 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 What's the deal with Zelalem, I know there's an option for another 6 months, but is that purely if Arsenal want to let him stay? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wearethepeople72 1,845 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 We don't need to go out and spend fortunes anyway. The league is basically wrapped up already.Wouldn't mind us getting in a few real quality players to bed in for next season if we can get them for the right price though.

Not 100% sure though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Will Follow Rangers 12,921 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 What's the deal with Zelalem, I know there's an option for another 6 months, but is that purely if Arsenal want to let him stay?Guy who broke the story said that we have an option for rest of season, the initial deal to January is a mechanism I think to ensure both parties are happy - dont see that being an issue.

DMax399 3,698 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Very rarely do you pick up quality players in the January window, so unless a quality addition pops up it makes sense to hold off until the end of the season to do our business in preparation for next season.

geronimoo 1,474 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 The loan players may stay for another season so what's the point of spending in Jan, if I were manager I would wait to see what's happening with them before I bought anyone.

Guest Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 He isnt ruling anything out. Hes simply saying he wont run off to spend daft amounts of cash for the sake of spending it. If he needs a player he'll sign him and if not he wont. Everything hes said indicates to me that hes not going to just overload the squad with expensive players and that if he makes any signings they'll have a specific place in his team, whether it be a free transfer, a £50 grand signing or a 5 million pound signing he'll sign the player that he wants not just some big name.Hes proven his ability to spot a player with the likes of Halliday, Waghorn and especially Tavernier who for some reason kept getting papped off of loan from every club hes been to, and look how well he fits into our team and how well our team has gelled under Mr Warburton after so few games.

jamess 3,422 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Warburton has shown us he doesn't need months and months to get individuals playing as a team. So the old rules of getting people in to 'bed in' don't apply when you have someone who has an eye for a player. He keeps on repeating the phrase about adding quality, and you know he is not talking bull. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck keeping them happy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Yip panic buying gets you nowhere. Worrying about other teams gets you nowhere. Mr Warburton knows this and simply focuses on his team and lets the others worry about how we will play Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I think essentially we will have this league won by xmas anyway. the January transfer window is really for clubs who are struggling and have to gamble big time - i dont think we fit that profile and therefore dont have to do anything in January - unless we really want to.Additionally, some players really dont want to play in the Championship - therefore promotion will make us far more attractive to those players without them having to come down to championship level for 6 months. We still have plenty of time to get ready for next season without bringing in guys in january Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
