Ranieri said in his press conference today that any unhappy players, including Ulloa can leave if they want to. Agreed. If Martin can't come back then Ulloa is who'd I go after next. The other target I'd look at would be Afobe. LeedsRam1999 and Sexydadbod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Ahhhh Ulloa. Always reminds me of summer 2014, went for £8,000,000 back when that was eye watering having scored 14 league goals the year previous and yet we somehow would only be getting about £9,000,000 for Martin had Pearson had his way! brady1993 and Carl Sagan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireRam Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 If I could have my way, our realistic transfers, come the end of the window, would look something like this: Sam Byram- West Ham (loan w/ view to permanent) Ben Chillwell- Leicester (loan) Henri Lansbury- Forest Bakary Sako- Crystal Palace Chris Martin- returning home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam the Ram Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I've seen quite a few (notably @Carl Sagan ) mention they'd like Bogle here. Rotherham have apparently just bid 350k for him. Cheap option if Martin isn't able to return. Carl Sagan, LeedsRam1999 and Will Hughes Hair 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't see a lot of them, but did catch them at Crawley. Mariners lost 3-2 in a match where Bogle hit a screamer from outside the box. My mate's analysis was that he's not blessed with pace (which I'd assumed he was) but that he can play and will play at higher levels. I'd have him (despite my mate's plea to leave it until the summer) and Sammon. Probably get both of them for similar or less than the Lansbury fee and easier to get done too?

Rotherham have apparently just bid 350k for him. Cheap option if Martin isn't able to return. I think the timing's wrong with Bogle. We're going to be fully stocked on strikers if Martin comes back and wouldn't go for someone else unless Vydra leaves. If we stay down and he's still available in the summer (he won't be), I think he'd be a perfect replacement for Bent, as a striker who can offer some hold up play as well as pace in behind. But unfortunately he'd be unnessecary right now, we're going to have 3 strikers who all rightly think they should be starting for a championship team with only one striking position. He doesn't fit, but I'd love to bring him in if we sell Vydra. He'd learn so much from Bent and Martin, it would be a great way to settle the squad too, because I think he'd understand about being 3rd in the pecking order and be more happy with it than I imagine Vydra will be.

If Fulham stick to their guns and don't allow Martin to return, Bogle would be a good signing I reckon. It'd be better signing someone like him for a low fee than spending big again only to end up with 3 high profile forwards next season, all on large wages and all wanting to be the main forward. Unless our scouts can find someone decent on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab a dab doo Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 We are nearly always linked to established or known players either from the premier league or the championship and end paying big fees. I would like to see our scouting team come up with new names from either the lower leagues or from Europe,players who are young, hungary for a chance to shine. Even if they do not make the grade with us we maybe be able to develop them enough to sell them on later for a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 If we can't get Martin back and we haven't got tonnes of money, then Danny Graham would be a good option. 16 in 38 for a poor Blackburn team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex W Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 A long shot but despite his lack of playing time I could see Shackell to Swansea coming off, given their defence and lack of financial clout right now. He'd certainly improve them in a second vs Amat and Dawson. Tempted to ring the bookies and put a quid on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
