West Ham could sell Antonio and Ings in January

West Ham signed Germany international forward Niclas Fullkrug from Dortmund this summer but the club are looking to add one more striker to their roster in January. However, if they want to sign a new player, they would first have to reduce their wage bill.

Newcastle Unlikely to sign Man Utd's Antony

According to former England and Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson, Newcastle United are unlikely to sign Manchester United outcast Antony as he considers the Brazilian too lightweight for the Premier League.

Speaking on Football Insider's Inside Track podcast, Robinson said: "Antony, no, I don't think anybody at Newcastle would touch him. Listen, there's a good player there, but he's too lightweight for the Premier League, he takes too much time on the ball and it's a league that's too quick for him. When you look at other leagues, the Dutch league that he stood out in or maybe the Spanish league La Liga or Ligue 1 maybe more suited to a player like him. But you look at the way that he's struggled at Manchester United, Newcastle will look at themselves on a level with Manchester United. They're competing for the same things, European football, they both want to be in the top four, that's the type of level that they're on now. The Newcastle fans nor the board will look at Anthony and go, 'That's going to improve us in any way.'"

Parkinson claims Wrexham can't make same transfers as Birmingham

Phil Parkinson claimed Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney's Wrexham cannot afford to match Birmingham's £20m spend and neither do they deem it necessary.

"The top end of transfers in this division has been out of our reach," Parkinson stated. "As we went into the summer transfer window we realised there were some astronomical fees being asked for players and not what we wanted to spend and what we felt was right for the club at this particular stage.

"But we've looked at that and gone down a different route and signed some younger players who are going to grow with the club in the next few years. We've brought in Mo, Seb [Revan], Arthur [Okonkwo], Lewis [Brunt] and Josh [Adam] has joined us - good young players who are going to improve with the club. Of course, there are teams like Birmingham and other teams who have had that spending power. That's great for them, but I'm pleased with the squad we've put together. I think there's good competition in the group, but more importantly there's a strong mentality and a togetherness."
