Bijou Bob's Bargain Basement Buys - Jan transfer thread

[Gary the Enfield]

Point of order but isn't there already a perfectly decent transfer thread still going?

[Prufrock]

Heskey was a poor man's SKD (or rather, a blind rich man's SKD) for the latter half of his career, and they're not much different in age. We could see SKD quite clearly couldn't hack it at this level two years ago. I'm not sure an Emile Heskey coming off the back of two years in Australia is the answer.

The problem might be there's not a lot else. Is Beckford recallable? Desperate times etc...

Also, didn't NL say Davies hadn't been risked at the weekend to save him for Millwall? Hope so. Wilkinson might be OK off the bench.

[EverSoYouri]

I'm with Bruce on the Heskey issue. If Lennon takes a look and thinks he can do a job, I'll go with that. In Neil we trust (for the present;-)

Optimistically, I'm also with those who say Chungy being away for Jan might save us from losing him... let's hope so (and let's hope he comes back fit).

[Bijou Bob]

At £1 million or so, Chunky is too good a buy for the likes of Hill or Everton to pass up, I suspect.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Chunky to Hill. You heard it there first. (Good job he's not called Ching-Yong, or there'd be some offence...)

My worry with Heskey is that if he has no pace, the oppo play a high line and squeeze our creative department, such as it is.

[Prufrock]

I quite like the idea of Millwall playing with a high line leading to Heskey and Eidur chasing down Danny Shittu.

It'll work quite well if you hum "Chariots of Fire" by Vangelis whilst they're at it

That's half the match gone...

I think we're safe in presuming Shittu isn't Millwall's quickest defender, considering they've won some points on occasion...

[IggyTheDawgster]

Heskey is garbage. He was garbage in his prime.

[jonnybwfc]

Maybe our Australian friends can enlighten us, but don't think he ripped up any trees down there.

None will be 'decent' until Messi arrives.

You really let yourself down at times

Been working in Preston recently and sopke to one of their fans who said that 'Beckford puts himself about a bit' and then suggested that he just needed a break in front of goal. Seemed genuinely positive about the signing,I felt quite mean pissing on his chips.

[jaffka]

[Vertigo]

10 goals in 42 games.




I think he'd be used much differently if we were to sign him up. Looked like he played lone striker during his time down under. No way that would work in the championship.

[boltonboris]

Despite us doing that exact thing in all but 1/2 games under Lennon?

[General Mannerheim]

Aussie cobber at work here was telling me Heskey did well down under, quite prolific and also their player of the year? i said BOLLOOOOCKS, but apparently so?

[LeverEnd]

Daily Record is linking us with loan move for Rangers winger David Templeton. He moved there from Hearts for £700k, 25 years old. Never heard of him, anyone know anything about him?

[a1]

yeah, he's probably better than greg wylde.
