January Transfer Window

[eufckev]

I have just read the back of the Gravesend Express, and it says:

 

"Liam Daish declared he will "shake things up" when the January transfer window opens after seeing his side comfortably beaten at Stevenage on Saturday"

 

So, what sort of players, if any, is Liam Daish planning on bringing in? What players, if any, will be released?

 

I think another defender will need to be brought into the squad, seeing that it is not up to scratch at the moment. I do not see the need for anymore midfielders. It will be interesting to see what happens.

[Hempstead Gaz]

Clearly we need another defender, ideally a specialist right back, which would allow Ricketts more chance either as a wing back or holding midfielder.

We could also use another experienced striker, as both Luke & Onome lack consistency and experienced.

Who would go?

Ekoku, Roberts, Purcell, Anderson all seem very surplus and fringe squad players - releasing 4 would free up cash for 2/3 players who could genuinely hold down a first team spot.

Worthy of debate?

Maybe Hawkins as well? He's not the best of defenders.

Purcell features on the bench regularly so would appear to be in the plans - he is one for the future and has shown in his limited appearances he has something - away at St Albans, hitting the post at Cambridge for example.

 

Ekoku may well be on his way with his extremely limited appearances - Anderson too despite looking OK against Stafford but we can't afford to let too many go without replacing them - a bench with McKenna, Akinde etc on it doesn't seem very strong.

 

I'd like to see another tall striker brought in as well as some full back cover.

A tall striker is a good call Jimmy.

I would like to see Roy Essendoh alongside Charlie MacDonald, Onome Sodje and Luke Moore, be a good combination I think.

Ahh, the old Kevin Keegan school of management eh?

Well done, that is better than the Hawkins comment. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/applaus.gif" alt="" />

He's been one of our better performers in recent weeks, and is in the first team on merit at the moment if we play three centre-backs (or, indeed, in a 4-4-2 if Ricketts is absent or in midfield, since he can also play at full-back).

[Jimmy]

Worth £100,000 according to Kenny.

[Jimmy]

Why not re-sign Che, Simon Parker, Hamid Barr, Tostao etc as well?

[Jeff]

Wasn't saying that we should resign anyone.

 

Tommy Worrilow got a contract anywhere?

Why has Kenny never been chairman? I think he should be given a go.

Why dont they go for jamie slabber.his loan has just finished at oxford ,him and charlie up front would be a good partnership.jamie has a proven goalscoring record. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

[KShep]

Jamie Slabber comes across as an egotistical tw@t to be honest, he might be a good player but I don't think his mentality is really suited to GNFC. I think we tend to go for more dogged, hard-working players.

[1 TOOTH]

In my opinion he would be a good signing.Everyone needs a break,I hope we give him a chance,as our strikers are not scoring at the moment. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

Thierry Henry seems pretty unsettled at Arsenal, might be worth considering.

Also Alan Shearer hasn't got a club at the moment and comes with the added bonus of not being French.

Marlon Harewood is likely to be available in the near future but is he any better than the lads we already have?

i met Thierry Henry and Wenger on Friday night, they were staying in the same hotel that my work xmas party was. had a chat with Henry, he asked who i supported and he never heard of us!!! Wenger knew us though!!
