January 2015 transfer window ( No GIFs allowed )(Nor fish puns ffs)

[zirc]

tbh i agree with martinez. january is a poor time to buy players value wise which given our limited budget makes it wiser to save most for the summer window. however I think he should look into possible loans and smaller $1-2 mil deals for players with little left on their contract

To be honest, if Atsu hadn't been a total flop and we had better luck with injuries, I'm not sure I'd even want us to make any major additions in January. Bargains are rare in this window and you risk unsettling a dressing room by bringing people in mid-season. Now if there is a steal to be had, by all means go for it but I don't think we should be desperate to add a major piece.

If we get three players in, (a loan, a cheap squad CB/winger, and a promising teenager a la Stones/Galloway) I'd be well satisfied.

I think we will see a winger come in on loan and that will be our business done.

Read somewhere he is headed to Wolfsburg. TBH if that is the price for him I'd do everything possible to get him, he's easily worth twice that.

Or Perisic becomes available? Teams only need one winger at a time judging by Evertons team dont they?

If he's available for a bargain price, sure, but most fees are inflated in January. That's why I say I'd make an exception for Shaqiri because £10m is a fraction of his true value imo.

Not sure why BM would sell him to the 2nd-placed team in the Bundesliga, even if they are 11 points clear.

@chicoazul if that player you mentioned last night signs, that would be a massive coup and show our intentions.

fingers crossed.

I will confirm its not Jozy or even Lee Cattermole from Sunderland.

It's not my place to say who it is, but i know the info came from an ex poster off here.
