Doucher said he was out for the season, didn’t see anyone else say it. His treatment remains at West Brom, so unless he is claiming to have inside knowledge at the Baggies, I doubt anyone knows the extent right now. I don’t.
was told the night we played swansea by my 'man in the know' who i watched the game with on tv - i can't remember where he got the info from or even whether he told me who told him - he's got a number of club insiders and i think i can guess where this one has come from - but wouldn't have been direct from the baggies - i've just text him to ask if he's certain and will report back - sorry if i've upset anybody and will try and get physio names, hospital details, scan references etc of course but may take a while to compile the complete dossier - bear with me, please
Sarcasm like that is what doesn’t help you.
The point being, you’re the only one who has said he’s out for the season. Cawley for example, is normally very good and right on top of these things, just the same as when Leko got injured and we found he’s out for the season and some of next. Just the same as I get asked and questioned, when passing on information, others are entitled to question the validity. That’s not saying you’re wrong, and I’m not saying you are either. I’ve said I don’t know the extent because the treatment and information will come from the West Brom end. But it’s only right to question it when one person has said so, and there’s no supporting information behind a statement.
Sorry that wasn’t directed at you - was a bit of ‘banter’ following on from the rumours page the other day - and don’t worry about what does and doesn’t help me -
That apology is the equivalent of helping an opponent to his feet after a poorly-timed challenge but pulling his arm hair at the last moment.
my man in the know (mitk from now on) - has confirmed that he was told field is out for the season and has told me who told him so i very much doubt it's not right
He’s not out for the season, looking for a late February return. I expect us to keep him.
Ok fine, how do u know that? Genuine question not a dig or anything
Woodgate and Bow are mates, should help us over Oxford.
Will know Cullen and Page from West Ham but was with Oxford last season. Which means he would definitely choose us, very few voluntarily go back to spend time with Robbo!
Not sure if he’s Championship quality yet, but might be worth a punt.
We were just beaten to the signing of Browne in the summer. He is one we thought we had all but signed, until Middlesbrough came along at the last moment and offered him more.
Can definitely see him being a player we are looking to sign this month.

Hmm he isn't getting in the boro team & 3 Division 1 teams are after him. Without knowing anything else about him is he really what we are looking for in our battle against relegation ? Would have thought we needed a bit more experience rather than another "promising" youngster.
If you think about it Gallen has spent the last few months (or longer) working on deals that we might be able to do. No doubt talking to clubs. So it won't be a surprise to me if our first few signings are within the budget we KNEW we had.
We could hardly be contacting clubs and discussing what they wanted on the basis that we might be taken over, even if we may have had preliminary talks in recent weeks.

You would think that he had a striker on a perm and a loan midfielder lined up regardless of the take over. As others have said Green is the replacement for Leko. Which would have been done in the last month.
Bostock made sense but I will look at Forest's line up at Stamford Bridge tomorrow with interest. It will also be complicated because his parent team is Toulouse. He is out of contract in the summer.
I had thought Kevin McDonald at Fulham was a possibility he has now signed a year extension and played today.
Other midfielders that may be available are :Andy King ( Leicester) Rangers on loan , Liam Bridcutt ( Forest) Bolton on loan. Tom Carroll ( Swansea)
In the dim and distant past Charlton used to buy experienced scorers in the twilight of their careers to avoid relegation. Examples were Ron Saunders and Ray Crawford.

Any left backs or centre backs?
