January 2018 transfer window thread.

[Bluebonic]

If Sandro is permitted to depart for £9m we are nuts. A loan move is adequate.

Loan him to someone like Bournemouth, prem experience, will get games, learn from Defoe?

 

[bullybeef]

I'd like to loan sandro I think.

Cough up £2m and he’s yours till June.

A profit on a player who seemingly plays on ice skates seems alright to me.

 

[Paulie]

Walsh has already gone hasn’t he?

No I mean they may have agreed a deal to come in for him in the summer already.

Doesn’t seem like something Everton would be clever enough to do does it?

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

Much rather Sandro went on loan then see what he's like by the summer, seems a bit quick to be dumping him when it's been a terrible start for the club as a whole this season

Rafhina would make me excited about Luke Garbutt at LB

Disagree. If we are going to loan, send him to spain and let him bang them in for 18 months and then sell him for a massive profit. Or, try to integrate him and if he doesn't work then loan/sell.

The same way Lukaku was sold to us. He cost us nothing, there is little risk in keeping him.

In defence of @Zatara exhibit A (not quite the summer though).

Few weeks ago haha.

I just searched for "Rafhina" and got two pages of links saying he's going to Inter. Is there some other, more recent news? Or just day-dreaming?

Edit: never mind, I should have read @Eggs's update first.

..imagine if he scores the goals that keep Bournemouth up at our expense. Surely there is no way we’d support a team who could be in a relegation fight with us.

Imagine having 2 transfer windows with a load of money we haven't had previously and after them 2 Windows have shut we have youngsters Kenny , holgate and garbutt in the back 4.

..the club needs to trim the playing staff, especially the unused high earners. I’m sure the coaches have come to a conclusion about Ramirez (Allardyce said he’d been given 3 chances and failed to impress), if they are not going to use him they might as well recoup what he’s cost. £8.8m could be an attractive proposition to another club.

We aren't in a relegation battle. Wouldn't want to loan to Bournemouth anyways tbf.

Rather send him to Spain, make him feel comfortable and then after his holiday in May try to re-integrate him more effectively. Odds on to struggle down South as well, given the rumours of struggling with new country & speaking limited English.

Sadly I just want rid of the vast majority of the squad. Not overly arsed how much they leave for.
