January 2018 transfer window thread.

[LiamG]

I cant imagine the people in charge will consider our season over in January when there is 2.5m per league placing on offer.

It will be a typical value for money proposition.

We are 9th now. I don't think anyone thinks we will finish above 7th or below 11th especially with a new striker. That's only 10m. A top left back including wages and fee will be what 50m? Would you trust Walsh to risk 50m when there's only 10m to play for and more than likely even doing nothing will still allow us to finish 7th or 8th.

OK I accept the club have been crazy in regards to transfers but I hope some sanity has taken hold.

Cheeky bid for Lewis Dunk anyone?

Dunk and Cenk
No thanks swerve

The original post was that top young players wouldn't sign for sam. I was pointing out that he didn't sign any of the three named.

If he is giving young players game time,the idea that,that would stop young players signing...strange logic.

 

[davids]

I wouldn’t give this manager a penny of our money to spend! He should create his own funds selling a Besic/McCarthy/ or both. Let him limp along until May then sack him.

Let him limp us into the Championship,now there is a top idea if ever I heard one.

Baines is 33, we dont just need a LB for this season, we need 1 for the next few.

We dont need to spend 50m a LB and nor will we, we have scouting system for a reason.

Sell

 

[Tin-Tin]

I wouldnt sell Sandro, a swap loan deal for N'Zonzi, both with a view to buy would be ideal.

Krepin Diatta who plays in Norway has apparently been scouted by us and every other club around. Attacking midfielder/striker, 18 years old.

This player has signed for Club Brugge today. He is really good, I expect we'll be linked with him in a year or two for a lot more money.

50m including wages. Since wages and transfers are roughly 50:50 that means a 25m LB.

Of course we need a long term LB but if we are thinking of getting rid of Walsh it makes no sense to get that long term LB now especially if we also may move to a possession based team/coach.

Lukaku on about £20m a year????

That's nearly £400k a week

With a new striker we will be fine.

I actually agree. We need to get that striker no matter what but he should be able to sell players to fund it.

He should really bring that up with his agent.

For me most of the problem is midfield/wingers and less so the striker.

We could have had giroud and we'd make him look like Kone.

You have lost your mind. And the idea that Martina is doing a job there is insane. We need a LB maybe more than a CF.
