January 2018 transfer window thread.

God damn it! Dreams being crushed!

Honestly don't get what the fuss is about Batshuayi at all.

 

[KaiserEFC]

They signed him yesterday as soon as they got the Laporte money

Imagine immediately signing a player to replace the one you’ve just sold...on the same day.

We can dream.

 

[BlueToff]

Not if like has been reported we have allowed a set fee to be included in the loan mate, same as with cleverley and a lot of other loans with buy options, we even got yobo and pienaar via such loans with agreed fees in the past.

There's no obligation to buy. With Cleverley there was.

We've set the fee but if another bid comes in that's higher, we wouldn't have to accept Sevilla's offer.

We've basically given Sevilla first refusal.

Witchcraft.

Neither do I most of the time when I watch him, but his goals to minutes ratio is extremely good so he's doing something right.

Well the Laporte deal has been in the works for over a week at least so I imagine they've been working on Martinez as well.

But yeh, they're clearly competent.

No left backs available worldwide though mate, Blind isn't actually available.

I'm telling you, left backs don't actually exist - they never have.

He's Lukaku-lite mate.

A decent poacher but his all-round play is pretty poor. Hence why when he starts games in the league he rarely has an effect.

He'll do well given the way that Dortmund play at the moment, probably, but would be useless in our crap team. Relies on good service.

 

[JLW]

Why? What's the point of having strikers when they don't get chances, he's not the type to create things on his own

This is true but why pay 27m for the Turkish Brett Angel if that’s the case

 

[Jamiednm]

Sam Allardyce was on Talk Sport this morning, bemoaning the transfer window. He sounded very negative and pretty hopeless. Expecting a 3-love thrashing tonight.

Because Steve Walsh

Good player

Not a left back

So not arsed about him currently

He is a good player but he's very limited in the sense of his all-round play.

That will probably improve at Dortmund and he'll score a fair few.
