January transfer window...

[thebish]

And it looks like this target might get away.....

Rodrigo's father and agent has admitted the Bolton loan star is set to return to Benfica in the summer.
The 19-year-old Brazilian-born Spanish youth international was bought by Benfica at the start of the season when they paid Real Madrid an undisclosed fee for him.
But without playing a single game, he was loaned to Bolton for the season and he has featured prominently, playing in ten games so far.
Trotters chief Owen Coyle has admitted he would like to make the deal permanent in order to help the young winger progress.
But Rodrigo's father and agent Adalberto Machado admits his son's future is likely to be at the Estadio da Luz.
"Bolton are very happy with the performances of Rodrigo and they showed interest in having him permanently," he told Renascenca.
"But this is something to be dealt with by both clubs.
"In the last week of January or first week of February I will go to Lisbon for talks with the Benfica president [Luis Felipe Vieira] and we will talk about Rodrigo's future.
"But the idea is that Rodrigo returns to Benfica to develop his career."

I think we should all be worried about the fact that it is now January the 19th and we are still to sign one single player. I know we haven't got a lot to spend but you're not telling me Coyle hasn't seen the fatigue that is now setting in with certain players? Also the fact that we've struggled to field a full bench for a good month or 2 now is a very worrying issue. The league is so tight that if this bad run continues, we'll end up in the bottom half permanently.
Less speculation, more photos of players with the shirt please!

I agree with you, but I also have this niggling suspicion that Wheater will be signed any day now. I think more troubling however, is the fact that we haven't been linked with any central midfield players at all, which is where our thin squad is hurting the most.

Darren Pratley at Swansea we have been linked with a few times this month

If our Sky cheque lands, they all do. But that won't be a practical consideration - we'd just borrow it off Eddie for a week. The club have refused to bow to Boro's sudden price hike, negotiations take a while, we'll get there. Rodrigo will be more of the same, but longer-term: he may leave and may return, but we won't be held to ransom. Same thing at a lower level, we have been linked with Pratley, but would rather get him for less in the summer. So it doesn't look like Owen's gonna hang his hat on playing with three central midfielders any time soon.

Thanks to Caught offside, we've been given our top ten transfer targets and it's all pretty much guess work but one caught my eye.

Ravel Morrison? Anyone heard of this ManYoo wonder kid?

hmmm...

Sport.co.uk can confirm that Shalke 04 midfielder Ivan Rakitic is being chased by Manchester United, Everton, Bolton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur;

we're bound to be at the front of that little chasing pack!

[officer_dibble]

Given we've been linked....that Bradley Johnson can't half shoot!

Was better centre mid than I thought he was (think I saw him on the wing last season when I was dragged to Elland Rd for a cup game). Still no massive shakes though, I wouldn't break the bank!

Must have missed that one then, thanks for the correction (and a bit of relief!).

Coat and hat on standby, sir?

[Lofthouse Lower]

He's trouble.

Been in bother with the cops over certain.....issues.....and he's been suspended by United - despite him being their best talent since Giggs.

will his promising career unravel???

[ohjimmyjimmy]

In trouble with the cops? Oh dear, Fergie won't like that si'yayshun one little bit..!

[Bruno3]

Confirmed on official site that Wheater's signed. Sorry if that's been posted somewhere else.

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Yup.
Come on now, lets have a couple more

Hasn't he been jailed now for witness intimidation?

But yes, a guy whose talent is only matched by his idiocy. Fergie has tried to have him mentored by one of the senior players, but clearly to nno avail. Their management had a meeting this week to discuss his future at the club, if indeed he has one.

Ooh, just what we need, a left-footed attacking midfielder!
