January 2018 transfer window thread.

If that was in Ruperts on a Tuesday night years ago, we`ve been with the same girl.

Did you get warts too ?

Copperas Hill was always a good place for late night romantics/desperation.

Those were the days....

CL football and living in London

Oh I know that's why he'd choose them over us, I'm on about the difference in price

 

[toffeejack]

When the benchmark for a quality LB is Cuco Martina then I would argue that there isn’t a shortage of quality to replace him. He’s absolutely dire and if Steve Walsh can’t identify a player of higher quality than him (even on loan) then he needs binning ASAP.

Tbf he's not first choice and we can't buy a left back just because baines is injured for a couple of weeks. I'm not happy about it, was looking forward to Bernat, but if someone like him isn't available now but will be in the summer, it's best to wait. If we actually had anything remotely to play for (no we're not in a relegation battle imo), then this would be even more crazy. Gutted because I actually thought we were going to do something about that area. It's been amateur all season in that position, as well as centre back. Heavy investment in that area needed in the summer.

And what we end up with then is a bunch of utter no mark mercenaries, who at the slightest hint of trouble, down tools and leave us in the crapper. Bit like this current lot have done.

Comparing quality like Lucas Moura to Klaassan and Schnerderlin lol

Okay lets just keep being in the top 4 spenders in the league and sign cast offs and dross and see how far that takes us

Only way we can compete with the top 6 is to pay wages to match them - spending similiar transfer fee's but on top 8-10 standard players will see us dp a QPR.

We should be going all out for Ryan Sessegnon for LB and put in a loan offer for Rashford

Seemingly and this this could be pure jarg but Jose has put Sanchez’s locker next to Rashfords so they start to develope a partnership of sorts
Rashford is not going anywhere
Luke Shaw on the other hand

So was the kebab shop facing the bombed out church, all the fatties from the Razz and the Cabin, who hadn`t pulled ended up in there at closing time lol

Because clubs know we have money to spend and screw us over
Same thing as City PSG and Manure
90 m for Pogba summer of 16

 

[Tramps_mate]

Reckon we could be surprised with the number of moves on Wed.

I still bet zero.

Its the same every window. Hype and excitement, then nothing...

 

[Goat]

Good move for both dat.

 

[toffeejack]

How is it that spurs get moura for £25mill and we waste £27mill in bolasie, £25mill on klaasen, and £45 in gylfi...

All down to levy. London must be the only reason spurs keep getting these players that are way bigger than them.

I look at lloris, alderweireld, vertonghan, modric and van der vaart. All borderline world class when they joined and they didn't even cost much. I don't really understand it too be honest. Especially when they pay small wages. He's one hell of a negotiator.

 

[toffeejack]

Good move for both dat.

Yeah, when I saw them linked with Caroll et al, I was thinking surely they could just get giroud. His bloody wife will be happy... The bint.

Arsenal are making some silly sales though.

Rashford will be even further down the pecking order now Sánchez has signed

lol Lockers next to each other to develop a partnership, good one

One thing for sure, you weren't a regular there.
If you were, you would be calling it 'perts!

 

[tommytowne]

Back on subject, this window will be as quiet as downtown Birkenhead on a late January night.

We’ve spent £47m in it.
