January 2018 transfer window thread.

[Nymzee]

Nzonzi playing tonight so stories of him being in the UK look a tad fanciful

He was in the UK to visit his kids but that was last week.

 

[Frang]

Tosun
Walcott
Shaw

Adds pace, creativity & energy into the team. That would do for me

2 are perma crocks or cant be arsed and the other a total unknown

Zaha
Giroud
Mee / Blind / Chillwell

 

[Hummus]

Arda turan seems to be one of them little rumours that never goes away.
Been mentioned as far back as 2016
Like he’s really gonna come here lol

 

[Nymzee]

Sounds plausible. Madrid or Wolverhampton?

*Real Madrid Castilla vs Probable PL team

 

[Nymzee]

I don't see N'Zonzi going anywhere now Montella is in.

From all accounts it was the former manager not playing him, forcing him to want a move, who's to say he still wants to leave now he's playing again?

The former is more feesible than the latter

The more I think about it the more I think bringing big Fellaini back and launching balls onto his noggin would suit the Big Sam style, not pretty but he'd be effective if that's really the road we are going down, he knows the club and could also add grunt to our midfield again too.

it is if you show absolutely no ambition.

so having said that you are entirely correct sir.

 

[kenada_blue]

Until Shaw and Walcott are both out injured.

Again.

Shaw just needs games. Was playing week in week out until his leg break. Now Jose doesn't like him.

Same with Walcott who still gets you about 10 goals a season. He's also far more productive than Mirallas who may as well have been injured these past 3 seasons

We do show ambition. We just get laughed off.

Or pay stupid prices.

 

[billyblue80]

And buy a left back for gawdsakes

Seri is definitely a tough little player mate, but it's physical presence we lack.

When we had Fellaini, we could scare sides with his height and power. We just don't have that.

N'Zonzi doesn't quite have Seri's passing range or skill, but he makes up for that with power, height and strength and bite in the tackle.

Unfortunately, we need a bit of both. Can we literally send away Morgan, Besic, Klaassen, Ross and add Seri and N'Zonzi? FIFA style. All in January.

N'Zonzi's height is just very helpful on set pieces when we seem to never get a head on anything, especially not in our own end. It would be SOOOOO nice to have a legit stud CB. Keane is actually good in the air. But someone else.

I thought the same thing. On a free but wages a problem, and he's 30 now. Always liked Felli....sort of player who can change the course of a game.
Apparently Jose wants to keep him but Felli wants £150k a week.

We win quite a lot of headers at the moment from gylfi corners and free kicks. Except Keane who you mentioned has powered them way over the bar when unmarked. Williams has got his head on quite a lot too.

And Tosun gets homesick.

The amount of Turks posting from Bootle ip's in here mate he should feel like he's at home
