Not just us

by Dirk Gently » 02 Jan 2009 11:08

Everyone worrying about who we might lose in the transfer window needs to remember that it's not just us who has players who could be PL targets :

Newcastle could launch a £4m raid for highly rated Wolves winger Michael Kightly (The Sun)

As well as the Magpies, Kightly is also being tracked by Everton and Middlesbrough. (Daily Mirror)

Everton are also watching Wolves striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake. (Daily Mail)

Wolves could lose on-loan Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne to Everton but want Leyton Orient's £500,000-rated centre-back Tamika Mkandawire as a replacement. (The Sun)

Now come on Dirk you know well enough that only our players are of any interest to PL clubs and anyway even if others do lose they'll go straight out and spend millions on replacements whilst we'll spend nothing as JM pockets the dough...

Ebanks Blake and Kightly are arguably their best players, if they lost them, that would significantly damage them, and i seriously doubt they'd be top for long without them.

And that's the point the thread was meant to make - all of the teams facing promotion face similar threats during the transfer window, not just us.

But will Schards take note of your point?

The rumour round here is that Kightly has been playing on an injured hip for at least 2 months, and it's getting worse. He probably wouldn't pass a medical, and as far as i can remember hasn't played more than two-thirds of a season without physically breaking down since he went to Wolves. For the kind of money it would take to get him (+5 million) that's a big risk.

Anyhoo, Kightly and Ebanks-Blake just get the headlines, Jarvis and Foley are their real key players.

And which PL teams won't know that ? The scouts are not incompetent. If they'd seen better players that are not the headline grabbers, they'd be feeding that on. The fact that the journos are so lazy that they don't find out such info is no reason to suspect that the said players are safe from transfer.

A few loan players being recalled too. Not that we have any of them loaned to us, it's us doing the recalling, which is probably a better position to be in.

Is that just a 'time of the year' thing ? Players recalled so that other deals might be arranged.

You're right, though - it does suggest we're in a better place than those losing the recalled loanees.

I don't see what the fuss is with Mancienne. Tidy, but nothing special.

Totally agree.

It's like 05-06 when we were Sidwell and 10 other players according to the journos. They may well be transfer targets, i don't care if they are, i'm just saying their season probably won't implode if they lose Kightly and/or Ebanks-blake, but it might if they lose Jarvis and to a greater extent Foley.

Perhaps we should sign Foley then. Would be useful back-up for Rosenior.
