Who's your most likely big spenders come Jan?

Usually quiet compared to the summer of course, last year saw a minor flurry led by Chelsea and Inter and the Rags...here's last year's Top 10 in Jan with the gross first followed by their net spend after sales.

1 Chelsea €52.8m (€8.93m)
2 Manchester United €44.73m €44.73m
3 Paris Saint-Germain €25m €25m
4 Inter €21.75m €21.15m
5 Galatasaray €18.2m €17.8m
6 Zenit €18m €18m
7 Wolfsburg €17m €6.5m
8 Hull City €16.3m €16.3m
9 Fulham €15.2m €14.2m
10 Monaco €11.5m €11.5m

my prediction is that actually Arsenal will get their cock and balls out and buy two high quality players. I believe the Rags could spend again as well. I don't think City will do much actually despite our needs. Nor Chelsea. Inter could play again as Bobby will pressure them to get results through some buys so they're a good shout.

Who's your prediction for Jan spenders? And if i could start a fucking poll after like years of slaving away on this site like a fool, then i would, but...alas, i can't.

cheers

City to sell Sinclair, Nasty, bring in 12/ 15 mill spend it on a forward ?

I'd go for Bony.

Inter and Arsenal are good shouts.Bobby will no doubt want to improve the inter squad, will he come knocking on our door? I wouldn't be surprised if he does.Nastasic might be in his plans.

Wenger making no secret of Arsenals need to spend so I'm sure they will be on the market for at least a couple of signings.

To say Liverpool need a boost is an understatement but they already spent big in the summer with a very poor return.It all depends on how willing they are to back Brenda this window, his spending so far has been an embarrassment.

Ps I think we should all be allowed create polls

Sinclair used plus the Nasty money and a selection box.

Yeah buy Bony and watch his disappear off to the ACON with Yaya.

I like having the odd boner but not a full time Bony.
AMOOT

Ah. I thought he was French.

He will be sold, if Swansea get the right offer.

That's a good shout. The problem with the transfer window is that all the action takes place in the last few days of Jan, usually. We need a forward on Jan 1st.

hard to figure who we might look to sign as a striker.

bony would be a nice addition, but his departure for ACON is a real issue.

has there been substance to the rumours about villa coming on loan?

I would like to keep our money, instead of throwing them on a B player like Bony.

I like him, but i saw him playing in a rotation system like ours and he was shit. Keep our money, use Pozo and then go big in the summer.

i'm generally with you on keeping the money, actually, and would prefer to loan a player.

if you could get bony at a decent price he would surely have some resale value to other teams if we decided to move on (i.e. liverpool).

he has been quite lethal in front of goal this year, and i think would do well with our other attacking players.

i don't know if we can afford to go with pozo. he's too slight in the frame to be the lone striker i think.

Benteke could be an option for us for £15 million .

Get our owners to apply the thumbscrews to get Gyan over on a 2-month loan?

Tricky one as we need someone thats for sure but I'm in agreement with others, loan only...David Villa? he'd take a while to adjust though and it would piss everyone off, especially cunts like patrick barclay...so on reflection.. its a yes from me :)

Liverpool's new manager will spend a fair few quid, but I reckon the rags will blow another £100m+ bringing some more kids through their academy

If we sign a player, it will be a loan, wonder if PSG really want rid of Lavezzi enough for us to take on his wages.

Mark Ogden of the Telegraph says City have ruled out a loan move for Villa but want to sign a striker in January.
