January 2018 transfer window thread.

So much negativity around this place at the moment.

Is it any wonder with the shower of complete buffoons in charge of running our club?

 

[Eggs]

Anyone got any good jokes

Alert overload

Because he was meetin’ potato.

He's fictitious. There's no such thing as a 'left back'.

Just heard that a midfielder of ours has been mentioned in the Arsenal camp......most likely a summer deal though!!!!

Think you're misunderstanding the agreement mate, Cleverleys one for example was if they met certain targets they had an obligation to buy - no choice they had to at the fee arranged. So a deal very much in our favour in reality as we wanted shut and it was a decent fee.

With this - Sevilla have a pre arranged fee for the player should they wish to make the move permanent in the Summer - no other club therefore will offer more as they know it makes zero sense to do so, they would just match that 7.9m figure already agreed upon, so if he does spectacularly well, we will lose him for that fee - and can't stop it.

First refusal at a set pre agreed price - which if he sucks they will just say nah too, if he does well they will get him at a bargain, sorry mate it is a poor deal for us no matter what way you want to look at it.

We make a £3m profit on the fee, which considering how badly it's worked out, is at least a positive.

We've got a pre-arranged fee with Sevilla but no obligation to sell. If we want to keep him we can.

I can't see it though. He'll be back in Spain for good probably. It's a shame it hasn't worked out.

True that mate.

EVERTON, WE’VE NEVER SHONE SO BRIGHTLY,
EVERTON, THE SPIRIT OF THE BLUES!

The Championship?

Fat Sam land

Not like they need a defensive midfielder is it...

 

[Brisan123]

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.

Good morning David
And how does the world find you this morning
In fine fettle and optimistic for the day ahead , I hope

Schniederlin hopefully.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Could we be the mystery third club in for Amadou? is he any good?

Surely we can beat West Brom and West Ham to him.

We are desperately poor/short in midfield now especially if Sam refuses to play Siggy and Rooney together. S

Still think we need another striker just in case.

No point even mentioning the other obvious area.

Mangala is a unit but really not great on the ball although Pep could have improved him in this area.

never rated Funes so has to be better.
