January Transfer Thread 2017

(Striker and CB)

Just a striker for me. I know I'm in the minority, but I'm happy with our CB options for now

 

[gaino92]

Williams 10m
Bolasie 28m
DCL 1.5m (?)
Lookman 11m
Scheids 22m
total 72.5m

Yeah, that's a pretty nice amount. With the 49m from Stones we forget how much we've actually spent.

#NetSpendBois

Gana 7 million

Gana 7 million

I actually forgot him.
I'm shocked and disappointed in myself.

I think there is a conflict of agreement regards who we want between koeman and walsh.

we all know koeman is pig-headed and very stubborn. I'm not sure on walsh, but I guess he would have strong opinions, such is his role at previous clubs to be very opinionated as chief scout. there could be clashes on who likes who and who would fit best.

then we have the inept board that are left to do the deal on a player that is wanted by both koeman and walsh. our CEO elstone is known to be inadequate at getting deals done. and from our dealings so far (haggling with united and Charlton over minor requirements as if we are skint) it just doent bode well for furthering our squad in a hard January market.

Overall, I think the window is a success. I like the in-goings and outgoings, but like you said the people up top are very mediocre negotiators. I think it rubs other clubs the wrong way, and our wishy-WALSHY approach to signing players can turn the players themselves away as well. Walsh and Koeman... well idk what to even make of it. Hopefully it doesn't get in the way of negotiations because we already have to deal with enough crap from the board.

I'm in that minority with you.

If Mori can calm it down a bit like.

I just cant see Jags being with us at the end of the month so we will need to replace him.

He's not amazing by any stretch, but works decent in a back 3. I really like Williams and think Jags still has a bit in the tank. Holgate could probably do a job if we were desperate too. Enner Valencia is our only other option up front

If he goes then sure, I just don't think he will

He wont be going anywhere unless we buy another CB.

Mori was at fault for Citys 2 chances last week, if they had put them away we could of been on the end of a reverse score line. He just fills me with fear when he is on the pitch.

Yeah I agree with you. Belfodil would have been healthy for Rom providing he wasn't another Niasse.

 

[JLW]

Agree mate that's what am saying, out with the old and in with the new. I think we will bring one in, then Sunderland will do a deadline deal for Jags

 

[JLW]

He has had an horrendous season plus he is getting old, sadly I think the writings on the wall for him. Ronnie takes no prisoners!!

If players we want permanently aren't available this window then who's we bring in some loan players on large wages, so we don't lose the benefit of seeing Stones last summer? That'd be another reason why we were interested in a loan for Depay.

The thing is tho mate, we have improved our commercial deals, so the desire to "spend the Stones money" isnt as great, cos we should have considerable wages leeway in the summer.
