January 2018 transfer window thread.

[Charlie Sweet]

Still think even Cahill stayed 1 year too long mate, he was god awful that final season really

Cahill was mostly just a good average the whole time he was with us - but he did punch corner flags

Controversial

Relieved to hear Carroll might be on his way to Chelsea. Was worried we'd do something stupid...

Keane is really poor imo.

Keane needs to grow a set for me, I was at that game against Southampton away, the lad bottled it big style, he couldn't wait to get off the pitch.

Noticed that a couple of times, bit of a bottler.

Been playing with a bad injury apparently. Not sure if this has contributed to his bottling.

 

[Abraders]

Take away those 3 and if we get nothing on Saturday then the picture starts to look a fair bit different.Plus drawing the opening game against a poor Stoke side then losing at City would have put a dent in the minimal confidence this shower has.

Well sure. If losing the next lot of games by about 0-30 didn't already do it haha

 

[Nymzee]

So apparently Stoke are signing someone like Stafylidis on loan from Augsburg and we're just going with what we've got???????

Our whole transfer team is a joke.

Subject of a left back...

Borthwick Jackson has been recalled from Leeds back to Man Utd as left back cover, putting 2 + 2 together and making 8, does that mean Utd are looking to offload a left back, by the name of Luke Shaw....maybe to us

Luke shaw is our first choice LB and his form deterred us from going after Danny Rose this window.

 

[andrechomba]

We will go in for Nzonzi - key to look our for is if Sevilla start being linked with someone who plays in that position, we will move for Shaw as soon as United sign Rose from Spurs, we will grab at least 1 probably 17-22 year old 'punts' from abroad/lower divisions, and will sign a cb (that french bloke).

We will shift on about 7 by deadline day, a few of them late on. (Niasse West Brom/Newcastle, Lennon (Burnley), Lookman (loan - Bournemouth), Sandro (Sevilla/Athletico), Klassen (loan - Ajax), Schneiderlin (West Ham/Saints) and Williams (Swansea)

Mystic Steve strikes...

We're not signing Rose mate.


Here's Manchester Evening News' report about Shaw earlier in January, they're very reliable for us.

..reports that Everton have bid £1m for 17 year old Blackburn midfielder, Callum Wright. Apparently he was part of our academy but released when he was 13. Sounds a little like the Baines and Jagielka situation.

No. They are desperately searching for a left back, but if they're available they aren't good enough, and if they are good enough they aren't available. They are searching hard. I believe there will be a positive outcome, but it is difficult, espiecially in January.

 

[toffee-boy]

sam said .. one signing at a time, so im guessing if he can drag the theo signing to the end of the month he hasnt lied to anyone

 

[bol-uk]

We enquired about Ben Chilwell of Liecester but were told he was not for sale.

Do tell us more

 

[GWS1970]

Do tell us more

That's it. They have inquired about a number of players. Ben Chilwell was the only specific name that I heard. We were not encouraged to take it any further
