January 2019 Transfer Window

[COYBL25]

There was a bloke on the radio earlier who gas written a book about the transfer window, well, transfers in general. I may have misheard, but I think he said that 30% of transfers take place in the last 2 hours of a window.

These arent the big news ones, generally, but lower league players, out of contract ones, and yeah, panicky clubs.

It`s great to watch in the pub, as some of the reporters look and sound like they haven`t slept for days and are on the verge of losing it !

The most depressing transfer update yet. No way has Tosun turned down 11 clubs. That’s like me claiming to have knocked back the Victoria’s Secret models when their bus unexpectedly broke down in front of my house.

Who is this fella who said Tosun turned down 11 clubs.

I would take 20m for Tosun AND Bolaise personally.

52m they cost.

So would most of our supporters I'd say, but the players concerned don't like to drop their wages. They get used to the standard of living they've got and don't like the thought of earning less. Its hard for them!

Still think Cardiff could come in for him. No ITK just a hunch

Unfortunately they will still have to pay for Sala and can’t loan him as they’ve already bagged The Prince on loan

Club insurance will cover this sad loss, Cardiff will not have to pay a penny, that's only right too, Sad this lad lost his life!

As posted elsewhere, Cardiff paid £5m up front and are liable for the outstanding £10m as he was registered as a Cardiff player. Whether their insurance will cover the balance, I do not know

An educated guess @BigBlueNose

Hysterical knee jerking attention seeking at its finest.

Probably bladdered too

He’s Turkish so everyone believes it.

Not the ideal comment at season ticket renewal time

Everton know they don’t need to bring in ST holders anymore, or for a few years anyway, they can do what they like now and they will sell out. The days of Bill facing the cameras spouting nonsense and making fake January bids are gone.

That's not terrible.

Not great, but there are many players with worse stats than that.

I think the problem with Tosun is that he failed to succeed when given opportunities. He’s not exacly created space and had a load of shots on goal.

Within the system we play he’s been poor.

People may argue he’s not had a fair crack of the whip, but he’s ultimately shown when he has played he’s not capable of being the goal scorer we need. Mobility and awareness have not helped his cause as the likes of Bernard and Gylfi can’t exactly thread him through - admittedly there is concern whoever we evenursully bring in needs to connect to the wavelength of what we have:

I hope we target a more mohile type of striker and ultimately he gets into dangerous areas constantly, near post, across his man and proves to be success. I really see how Tosun can be that here, however he may have the game for a Crystal Palace, Brighton, Cardiff or similar.

All true but in addition after the Sala tragedy they asked the league if they would extend the transfer deadline for them so presumably they still want / need a striker.
As others have said ( sadly ) they will have insurance for the tragic loss of Sala.
