Comings and Goings in January

[uptheos]

Only another month and the transfer window opens again.....seems it only just closed.

On what you have seen so far, who do you think will sell and who do you think will buy?

Not a 'wish list' but who do you seriously think is heading one way or the other?

Leighton Baines to Man U, I think he will stay injured for a while.

Patrick Evra to Paris St Germain

Fellaini back to Everton.

Yohan Cabaye to Man U

Erik Lamela back to Italy

Jermaine Defoe to the USA

I think Arsenal will sign another front man, Bentdner isn't good enough.

And the targeted O's player isn't going anywhere!

Unless they've moved Toronto, I don't think Defoe is going to the USA.

Although apparently Toronto have called such reports "inaccurate".

If you read this, it's obviously not Defoe. Maybe they're signing Messi and Ronaldo?

Earlier this month, Leiweke also announced that Toronto FC would be making the biggest signing in MLS history within the next 30 days when he spoke at the Ontario Chamber of Commerce.

Presumably the "biggest signing in MLS history" means someone bigger than Beckham, unless they're talking about Dean Windass, who's bigger than most players.

OK apart from 'reports' do you think there will be much movement and if so who do you think?

I can't see City buying unless we sell first. Hopefully Dzecko on the way and a top class defender in to play alongside Kompany or for cover if he gets injured again.

Would you like to see anyone in particular?

Is your dislike of Nasri, waning?

Arsenal probably need a striker, but I wouldn't try and second guess Wenger, if he has his eye on anyone in January it will happen at a moment's notice, and it could be someone with whom most English fans are not familiar.

Lewandowski's contract runs out in the summer, so maybe Dortmund will wish to cash in if he's made it clear he's not staying.

Diego Costa would be nice, my preference, but I'm not the manager.

Can't say about the "anyone", but Nasri seems to have his head right...finally. He's an important piece now given that Silva has been so injury prone. He definitely ain't Silva but he ain't chopped liver anymore either.

Apparently Berbatov has let it be known through his agent that he wants to leave Fulham in January.

It's not clear if he wants to resume his soft porn career or move to another team.

Agree with jelly. Nasri has been an entirely different player over the last 6-8 games. Much improved.

As for who I would like to see come in. Really don't know who would be available but as is for all to see, we need one quality defender. There have been links with Sergio Ramos, Eliaquim Mangala (Porto) and some guy called Garay from Benfica (think United are scouting him too) but that is all probably speculation.

We are buying a Spaniard apparently and he is from Spain as well but he doesn't play for the two.
