January 2018 transfer window thread.

[OneTrueLegend]

Linked with Ighalo (was at Watford last year, now in China), not exactly great, think he scored a whopper at Goodison last season though

2 centre backs, a right back, a left back, a striker minimum required in January.

Swap Keane for Mee
Burn Gylfi with klassens torched body

Defenders, sign all the Defenders

 

[NCLBlue]

Where do we even start

 

[ExpatinBangkok]

St, lb, winger, CB. But I saw one report moshri is only offering 70m budget to silva (or any new manager). For that amount we are either going to get young players with potential (which we have enough of) or bog standard Premier league journeymen. Needs another 150m at least if we want to compete for top 6.

Hate to say this, but even if we don’t manage to fill any other position in this next transfer window, we need to offer Southampton the sky’s the limit for VVD and make him captain forthwith.

Just as important as a new manager IMHO.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Sign a solid no nonscence defender of the old school who isn’t afraid to put his head/foot/boot in. Sign a slightly classier European defender who can actually pass a ball. It’s simple really.

 

[dano195]

We need 2 centre backs, left back, winger and striker minimum. All good enough to walk straight in and make the position theirs. We are miles off where we need to be.

Please see my previous posts on that donkey. Gone massively downhill after leaving Holland.

I haven't seen a lot of him unless he's played against us, but I think any defender being coached by Mark Hughes will go downhill fast. he's a better option than Williams or Jagielka too

 

[MACCA75]

Probably the most important window since the one where we signed Super Kev. And with the stadium in the pipeline, arguably the most important transfer window since they brought them in.

Knowing us he'd get injured again. First game.

 

[TheOneBlueGeordie]

Just as long as we don’t buy any more damn midfielders.

We need to offload 2-3 before we even consider another one

 

[Timak]

Hate all these "throw £50m at X shouts" for midtable PL players in their mid/late twenties.

We need to be signing players on the up who will add energy to our team.

It is OK signing the odd "peak value" player but it is terrible business in the long term. It is the exact trap the likes of Villa/Newcastle/Sunderland fell into. We need to be signing players at 18-24 and getting the best years of their careers, or selling at peak value. What we are doing is brainless, we'll get none of the Bolasie/Williams money back. We need 5 or so really good, high energy players who can be the mainstay of the side for years.

I think we can all agree the best course of action would be for the club to run any potential new signings past me.

Lucas Torreira...?
