January 2019 Transfer Window

[DanB90]

Reflecting back on this appointment, it just doesn't add up whatsoever

Only Everton

 

[Tin-Tin]

I like Batshuayi but that price is absurd - there is no way we will pay that

Dunno. To me, an 18 year old is a kid, but in football, probably no longer a youth player.

Nowadays most lads under 30 are still kids I’d a mortgage and 3 kids at 28

The January window - where teams pay emergency fees ridiculously over the odds, to shore up holes in their teams! perfect time to flog the dead wood - terrible time to buy more!

Will there? Somebody mentioned the other day, how many clubs have Striker depth? I mean Spurs have just lost their main Striker and all I read is them flapping about who will replace him. City and Arse are the only 2 I would say have proper Striker depth, maybe United as well actually.

And do we really need to replace somebody whos played 58 minutes?

More and more im getting the impression that we are keeping our powder dry till Summer personally.

Big, big summer coming up for the club, we have lots of returning loans, we have a few expiring contracts, I mean Baines, Jags and Williams alone are 3 players that havent contributed much so far this season and its roughly 200k a week in wages.

But anyway, think we need to get Tosun out the door before we see a Striker come in myself and even then its probably going to be a loan, so we might just go with 2 Strikers in Rico and DCL, which brings me back to my first point, not many other clubs have massive Striker depth.

Good point. Even the top teams only have 1 serious back up. I think the focus has to be on a rock solid and as high a quality starting IX as possible. Quality in the wider squad can come after. Following on from the Koeman/Walsh spending spree it looked like we had a good squad and we’ve been left with a lot of crap. Massive summer coming up and a potential 10-15 needing moved on. It may be best to go with what we have.

Who else was he?

Do you really not know
Ask for a list of banned posters and he’s most of them except for the obvious redshirt ones lol

I get that, ive watched the boy, hes utterly terrible, but hes also homegrown, lets face it, 19m is nothing money these days.

19m is still quite a lot for Bournemouth though. Third highest fee for them ever

 

[Brisan123]

Judo

If we pay 40m for Batsman, im gonna give up on footy and take up watching QUOTE]

Judo or Ludo ??

He wasn’t the brains behind Leicester’s recruitment that built the championship winning squad yet we brought him in and gave him carte blanche - absolutely insane.

Brands on the other hand seems like the real deal.

Someone mixed up 40 and 14

Brands at the very least has a checkable background in the job... albeit in the Dutch league

I can't believe we put all our eggs in Walsh's basket... utter lunacy

Edin Dzeco's (sp) name being mentioned again.

Its only 20% of their shiny new Sky money tho.

If that happened when Walsh was here, then the fee would be £54m.
