January 2018 transfer window thread.

[Big Fat Sam]

I find it unreal that players who are currently fit and so obviously will not even be considered by the manager (Besic, Stekelenberg, Klaassen, Sandro) are being kept on the books. Shouldn't the club be doing all they can to get rid? Over 200k a week wasted on those four. I'd also be selling Williams asap. We don't need him AND Jagielka AND Keane AND Holgate to take us through the next 15 games. Get him gone too, then get Jagielka gone in the summer.

I'd also be touting for buyers for Bolasie too. Value will have plummeted but he's clearly nowhere near the standard we're aiming for. If we could recoup half of what we paid it'd be a hell of a deal for us. We've got Lookman and Vlasic coming through, and should be on the search for another top end winger anyway.

Selling the above players would well and truly drain the swamp.

Someone has to want them though. And someone has to be willing to match their ridiculous wages. And they have to be willing to move to wherever it is we're trying to flog them to. In short, don't hold your breath.

Oh I know all that. Surely these players are smart enough to know they're set for life and can enjoy a millionaire's lifestyle from now until the day they die, even if they leave us and take a substantial wage cut. You'd like to think they're also professional enough to want to play football before their legs do give up and they can't play at this level any more.

It's still unbelievable we haven't got LB sorted.

Aside from that, I wouldn't actually want any more money spent, the less damage inflicted the soonest mended, particularly for any prospective new DoF.

I have complete mistrust in the ability of the club to spend well now, and to think where we've come from in recent years, such a shame.

If we plan to swap managers in the Summer I'd rather we didn't spend another penny this window. We won't get relegated with what we have now.

We are not swapping managers in the summer, I cannot understand why people refuse to see this.

We will change managers in the summer unless we come 7th.

Yep, the deal was 18 months, hence the contract.

..it’s very wet here today so I didn’t check out the cash point in West Derby Village, but I just sat in Costa Coffee opposite the Jolly Miller for 30mins. Nothing to report, I was the only athletic looking fella in there.

Hopefully Sam tells us what side order he got with his KFC family bucket last night.

I'm the same. Credit where it's due they've finally addressed the striker situation and signed some much needed pace but again the lack of a LB is unforgivable. Giving Walsh any more money to spend on a position that isn't a LB will simply cause more damage.

A massive gravy @maccavennie never doubt it......

I like how you know for certain based on zero evidence.

He's a gravy man c'mon.
