Who do you want in Jan?

Why has everyone ruled out Kerrea Gilbert,

he was brilliant last year, and would do a shit lot of good to our defence this time round

I've said this about a million times now.

He rejected Ch'ship clubs in summer. He wanted to stay at Arsenal to develop himself and push for regular first team football.

This hasn't worked out and he himself has said that he wants to go on loan to another Prem club.

How has everybody ruled him out? He's been mentioned countless times in this thread already...

Febian Brandy.

In the United reserves at the minute, was at.... Hereford I think on loan last season.

He could do for abit of back up, he's quick, good on the ball, skilful.

Are you sure? If you're right then what the hell is Mandaric doing at this club if he's not got the money to pump in.

a) He didn't bank on us getting relegated when he took over as chairman and we're are obviously still feeling the fallout financially from that.

b) He's still at the club because, as a businessman he will want to have made a profit before he jumps ship. Given the right offer he'd be off in a heartbeat.

Its not that he's got no money to pump in, it's just that he's no mug and has been hit obviously by the relegation and thus is operating more cautiously.

i would like to see kerrea gilbert back here i think hes a good player

He can't defend. Too lightweight.

He's pretty mobile going forwards, but that's about it. He can't even deliver a good cross.

And he's never Premiership quality.

Currently on loan at Gillingham....ask Swansea fans, L1 no more.

any names?

No. But I trust that Nigel Pearson and his team have a better knowledge of the Premier League reserve league than any of us. Signings in January are invariably players that can't get a game for their parent club, not players having a good season.

Mandaric 'We are already over budget for the season'.

Pearson also said something like 'It's not who we're going to strengthen with in January, it's whether we can afford to'.

Hardly the kind of comments of people ready to splash out. I'm sure MM will spend money if he thinks it can pay for itself, like he did with Davids. Personally i'd expect a couple of loans and nothing else.

Yeah, because wealthy people are falling over themselves to invest in us.

All this PLUS hes reportedly lost a lot of money in the recession.

That's all true, but it's his fault we went down. Yes he wasn't playing or anything, but his ludicrous decisions made the club a circus and therefore he should foot the bill and more. He promised us Premier League in 3 years and I for one will be annoyed if he doesn't at least put more money in to give us a chance. If we don't make it then fine........if we strained every sinue to make it happen.

Fair enough, it was genuine question because those comments you've pointed to have bypassed me somewhere along the line.

I'm not saying we should just throw money at players without thinking, but it's clear that to make the next step we're going to need one or two more quality players. And please nobody tell me that Mandaric doesn't have the money. He bought the club for a pittance and although his outlay since has been reasonably high, it's not been enough to fulfil a promise unless we get promoted this season, which would have to be through the playoffs because Newcastle and West Brom have the top 2 spots sewn up. This man was last recorded to have assets of £75m, he could spend more if he wished to.

Just read that, would be a decent addition I think, how much do you think they'd want for him?

Well if the 'Joe Mattock' Transfer Request is anything to go by, I'm hoping cheaper than his true value?
