 Rooney with 12 but Ashley Cole 13

Not bad nogbad, nogbad at all. Well done. Cracked that one before but short of material so hey ho. Quite a haul of medals between them. We need a manager of the month award for Feb for Wayne if we are going to start zipping up this league. No easy game tonight. How many players have left us since final whistle of last season. Mass exodus.

Has anyone got any idea what our squad will be made up of this time tomorrow. We have been linked with every player who costs nothing in transfer fees.
We’ll  need to invest in bigger benches if they all  want to have seats

NO

Max 5 loans in starting eleven. Bench for 5.

Rooney is the middle ground. We can play but we can also dig in. I have to say I'm enjoying it, the team are aggressive and horrible to play against. The mentality is spot on

Bizarrely, Wayne has said that he really liked defending when he was a player.

I think most would agree with that to be honest, not just Wayne himself. The Rowett season aside, we've generally tried to place "nice" football which is pleasing to the eye for pretty much the last 8 years(whether that's actually happened or not is another matter).

It's good to see us take an aggressive, energetic approach with players like CKR more than happy to bully the poo out of anybody he comes up against. We've been on the wrong side of teams like that for too long, so it's good to see that's the way Rooney seemingly wants us to play instead.

Speed and power plus determination to win games is the way forward. The more skill that the players have the better but no good if we fold under pressure. Aggressive teams come into the field to WIN games.

Derby County have emerged as potential contenders to complete a deadline day deal for Patrick Roberts, sources have exclusively told Football League World.

FLW understand that the player would be keen on a move should the Rams solidify their interest with a loan offer.

 

 

Have we taken on more staff to do negotiations for transfers.

Agents busting a gut to get their guys noticed before window closes

One of the things Rooney is clearly looking to do is bring in height and power to the squad. Thats what you need at this level

Exactly this GD

If true, Wassall and co need a knighthood.

Name of the game is avoiding relegation and building for next year.

Lansbury has gone to Bristol City 

Excellent signing. I like their transfer policy.they buy proven players. Good chance if top six /promotion drive.

With Rooney saying 24/48 hours and targets lined up I’m surprised how quiet it’s been in terms of names being linked etc 

Keep quiet to avoid disappointing the fans.

Lingard to West Ham. £1.5 million loan fee plus full wages for four months. Wow.

Gets them into Europa then it is worth it.

Out of those three i would like us to sign Grosicki most. Great player especially at championship level. Fairly sure Big Sam has been using him as a sub at West Brom though. 

Can't see Shane Long being allowed to leave with all Southampton's injury problems.

With regards Vydra, like you say great finisher, but only for that one season with us really. Every time I've ever seen him play for Burnley he misses all his chances. 

One player to add to is Henry Lansbury. Just had his contract at villa mutually terminated to allow him to find a new club. Good attacking midfielder, think he can also play on the right as well. 

Yes please.

Some possible loans:

Kamil Grosicki (West Brom) - Winger - reported to have just rejected Forest. Maybe our Polish lads could persuade him

Shane Long (Southampton) - Striker - started only 1 game for them all season. Would be great at pressing but not a prolific goal scorer.

Matej Vydra (Burnley) - Striker - also only started 1 games all season. An excellent finisher but probably not the type of striker we need, I also doubt he has the work ethic Rooney is after.

 

Grosicki, yes please.

Half of you lot would argue with your own shadow. 

It's behind you. Oh no it isn't. Oh yes it is. ........

If I was Kaide or a family member. I would say go to Liverpool, Kaide. As a Rams supporter, I am disappointed and would like to have had first choice for loan back in his contract

Our transfer talk is hectic, a buzz of activity. Can we have some wild guesses please.
