Wonder if we could sort out a season loan for Scott Sinclair or Jack Rodwell, neither are gonna get a look in at City, any takers ??

Both be very useful additions I think, especially Sinclair - far superior option to Hoillett.

Only 2 million Euros separating him from a transfer and the club should not let him go for less than 5.5 million Euros given the prices going around these days.

Not great with Spanish but think you will find he us off. Only unused sub in a friendly seems to support the info.

[jmelanie]

I understand a bit of Spanish but am not fluent. Essence of it is that Sociedad can only afford about 3 million Euros (which I would not think is even worth thinking about). We want 5.5 and I can't see us budging on that. Granero has said that he would be interested in returning to Spain, but also think he would not mind staying here.

Don't forget that he is not long back from injury which could be why he did not play today. After all it is not like he was not picked at all. He was on the subs bench.

Thanks j hope you are right as I really rate him but the info I have is he off, think a compromise around the 4 mill marked reached.

I think it was said in commentary that a few where carrying strains?

Definitely!!... the problem I have with Hoilett, a bit like SWP is he's a 1 trick pony. And it won't take long for the big boy's to cuss him out and even if they don't he's to inconsistent for the premiership. Sinclair's got much more of a cutting edge.

Seems it's around 4.5 mill euros still some negioation but looks very likely.

On another note seems the valbuena deal is a lot closer than many image, still others interested but we are in with a very real chance, excellent news if it comes off.

No sorry shania, no inside info just general rumour among some people involved in football.

Have to say not always been Redknapp biggest fan but glad to see him come out with what we need to bring in, worry is its contrary to Fernandes statements.

I've said all along we need a lot more players. I'm all for TF being strict with regards to wages but he's deluded if he thinks his 2-3 players that he recently said is enough. We're massively short! Centre backs wise we're fine and left wing back I'd be content with if no one else come in. I still feel we need someone to cover Simpson, Jenkinson from Arsenal is screaming out to be done for a season long loan, now they've signed Chambers. Also a defensive midfielder (Fer), a goalscoring centre mid (In another thread a said De Guzman or Tim Cahill plus a few more), a number 10 (Valbuena would be a dream) and two strikers, someone with a bit of pace about them would be nice! (Joel Campbell on loan from Arsenal? Deeney looks to be number one target, so him as well).

The above ties in with Harry's comments saying he wants 6 in and I feel them positions are what's needed. If we can add quality in the above areas then I feel we're well on our way to 10-14th finish.

Found it quite shocking to see in the papers that harry redknapp is second favourite to be the first prem manager sacked.
