How old is Henry? If he is any kop or even just a good prospect then why is he playing in Cyprus? It will be another Sean WHITEHEAD.

Fuego didn#t seem overly interested in leaving when he was asked about us last week
, “If any team wants to sign me, it’s because of the chances I’ve been given by Valencia and what I try to give to this team. I’m very comfortable with my role within the team, in the dressing room and happy in the city with my family.
“Right now I do not plan anything. It is true that when I was with Rayo, the best deals economically were to leave Spain. But I always had the vision of playing in a top team of Spain and Valencia is one. I’m very happy and I do not plan to leave for anything.”

Im sure the henry signing is one for the future rather than an immediate replacement. Which sort of rankles really as from the few displays ive seen, Burke looks class and deserves a run.

I don't really understand this Henry interest.... surely he's not going to be ready for first team football and we have lots of good prospects at CB.... bit of a kick in the teeth for them?!
I reckon we will get this Fuego DM in who can also cover at CB during the first week of January .... but only if Song is named in the Cameroon squad. Fuego is getting on (will be 31 soon) but would be a very useful squad player and his CB ability will provide cover until Burke and Henry(?) are ready... and relatively cheap (3-4m).

Not a replacement Eggy but competiton
Would be great but I can't see him coming in to sit on the bench, he had major sides ineterested in him in the summer

I am not sure why people say central midfield, we have a few decent players and prospects that are not getting time there at the moment.
I make the assumption that Reid is leaving (though probably not in the window) and Collins has done very well but is getting older so a really good centre back. The problem is that is what a lot of the top teams with a lot of money are looking for as well.
Henry is a prospect if that. Really hope I am wrong.

Petr Cech or Asmir Begovic
Bit harsh on Adrian, but the rest of the squad looks good all round to me, and a proper top class keeper would give us a stronger look.
Could argue about a centre back, but there really doesn't seem to be many great ones out there. When you think Mangala & Lovren cost about £50mil between them, you know it's a bad market for that position. I'd have Ginge over the pair of them.

Id imagine he's just talking about tying down Carlton for another couple of years.

Hearney

Re: Allardyce wants "one quality player" this January.

He's early/mid 20's, so a signing for the future too.
Downing has been sensational this year and can't be dropped but he's 30 odd now.

He can play anywhere of the front 3 attacking positions behind the striker, take him down a tour of east ham and it will be home from home for him

Egg - But surely you would set up differently (if need be) to accomodate a player like him.? He is lethall and would without a doubt make us a better side.

bit harsh to bring someone in to replace Downing?
Although from his wiki - "His main position is left-sided winger."

Konoployenka is too good to turn down
Can play in the no 10 role and ship Zarate out on loan
Too many good players is not a bad thing.....
But centre back would be priority......i've said before on here Johnny evans is one i'd like us to look at

Re: Allardyce wants "one quality player" this January.

Egg - Not really a winger, a poor man's Hazard really but he will improve the squad starting 11 in my opinion.
From what I've seen of him, he looks class. Athletico Madrid are sniffing to according to rumours.

Properly decent centre defender please. Maybe a left back on loan to push/ cover Cresswell.

Konoplyanka has been mentioned a couple of times, but he's a winger and would't really fit the way we play

Re: Allardyce wants "one quality player" this January.

A centre half sticks out like a sore thumb, but who realistically is available?
I see that we've been linked with a Valencia midfielder and Konoplyanka is still available after shunning a new deal.
I think our best bit of business would be getting Song if permanently!

We're signing the canadian central defender Henry if a work permit goes through, so I doubt we'll be looking for anyone who'd be first team in central defence.

I'd love to see that Ukranian fella here, and I'd still like Jordan RHODES, and yes I know that Sakho and Valencia have done ok.
