Here's the people I would like us to sign on permenant/loan deals which are also relativley realistic targets.
CB - Danny Collins from Stoke - on loan or a short term deal
CM- Keith Andrews from Blackbrun - permenant or end of season loan
CM -Torsten Frings from Toronto - short term deal
CM- Alan Smith from Newcastle - loan (most unlikely of the lot)
W - Robbie Rodgers - free transfer from Columbus
W- Jason Puncheon - however his contractual situation is complicated with him being on loan at QPR but still on the books of Southampton, not sure when the loan ends
RB - Eric Lichaj - proved last season he could play RB although naturally a leftback was our star man in the backline last term. Is injured though so may have to go back for him in summer
Also need a RB to cover/play as we are short in that area.
People I would like to see leave the club in January and Summer are :
Rachubka, O'Dea, Bruce, Kisonorbo (not good enough for this standard unfortunatley), O'Brien, Varynen, Brown, Forrsell, Sam and Paynter
Realistic Transfer Targets

Don't think offloading that many players in jan is realistic , heard the Frings deal to be done soon, can't see smith fitting in anywhere in team, CB needs sorted asap !

Yeah I know O'Dea is on loan, thats why I included the summer window..hopefully he will return to Celtic. Brown will do until the end of season but hopefully by the end of January we will have re-enforced the midfield so he is surplus. Finally Sam im afraid is not good enough, and additions in January should put him down in the pecking order

Mr Kato, I'd keep Sam, but the rest on your list, i'd be quite happy to see gone. Especially O'Dear and Vayrynen.

Sam is decent enough on the right, he's been awful on the left.
Lichaj is realisitc and a must.

Forogt about Lichaj he would be a fantastic singing although a left back he proved last season he could switch flanks easily!

Torsten Frings - 35 plays for Toronto which is currently their close season.
Short term OLD loanee - right up Grayson's alley!

You've got Lichaj the wrong way round... He is a RB but can play LB if needed. He's right-footed.

Have you been drinking?????
1. Andrews, Basement clubs basement player!
2. Frings is 72 and is still too good for us, cant afford him and the previous rumours were sheet
3. Puncheon is a league 1 player
4. Alan Smith! your obviously a local, he hasnt got it anymore, Clayton is better.
I agree totally with Rodgers tho

Puncheon is a PL player, Rodgers is according to American LUFC fans, awful.

Puncheon is bad news if Atkins dismisses him then he must be a problem child let someone else have the problem and now to my utter despair the agent for Andrews wants £22k a week.So we can forget him
