January 2018 transfer window thread.

[Barnfred 55]

less than 24 hours till we can declare walsh an utter failiure then mate really.

Ramirez coming with a option for them to buy at less than 8m is pathetic btw, say he flops they wont do it, he does brilliantly then we cant ask for more or have no say on a new manager wanting to keep him etc...

6th best team in spain, best in italy after two of our flops, hmmm maybe they are actually ok players then...

btw shows how poor our foreign recruitment is, bought lots from the domestic scene, 3 from abroad, 2 we are looking at selling after less than 6 months at the club, the other has never even trained as we couldn't get a work permit... in a game becoming even more global, this is what will ultimately destroy the club if we cant fix it

Mate. The appointment of Allardyce as manager tops all that believe me


That is the true barometer of where we are as a club right now.

I'm not sure I've ever felt as bad about our club and the people who run it as I have over the last 2 and a bit months. We really are a car crash.

And Schneiderlin. Maybe.

One can only hope.

 

[Saint Domingo]

If we get Mangala then we'd definitely be in a better shape than before.

He’s far better than what we have.

Love that our apparent flops are away to better clubs than us, they must be hysterical

But wait, the PL is the best league with the likes of Huddersfield, Brighton, Stoke and WBA

And blokes like Sam Allardyce

Slower and less physical leagues.

Terrible transfer window. We needed a proven PL goalscorer and a left back. We got a speculative signing from Turkey, an Arsenal player way past his best and now a CB who City would never play again if they could help it.

Shambles of a club.

I knew you'd be able to put a positive spin on this

Why wait 24 hours...

He’s absolutely right though.

We’re missing an ACM who can carry a ball and feed our strikers

That would of course involve others in the team actually moving around the pitch wanting to be fed

What's happened with sneidy to hammers

Agree like.

Though I'm happy with Walcott and think he'll be a good addition if he's played in a role that suits him.

Mangala - he's clumsy and pretty crap on the ball, but the pros are he's quick, strong and is left-sided.

On a loan I don't think it's an issue. Issue, like the summer, is the signings we haven't made (left-back, midfielder).

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Yep.
What I’m finding slightly indicative of the times in which we live is that I’ve stopped disagreeing with him on anything. That’s worrying.
