January Transfer Thread 2017

Well if you believe the ITKs, we are trying for VVD, hell it might even come off, I remain unconvinced personally, but it appears as tho we are at least trying, thats all we can do.

Surely won't leave if saints get to the final..

Seeing them still linked to Sakho, now you would assume he would "replace" Fonte, but, might be interesting.

I just can"t see them letting VVD go this window after losing Fonte

...I read one link that said he's agreed a move to City in the summer.

He would be foolish to sign for us when its rumoured that CL clubs will be after him in the Summer.

I know we like to look at things with our blue glasses on, but put yourself in VVDs shoes, who would you sign for? Us, Arsenal, City or Utd?

The graveyard of failed players at each of thosecclubs who signed for big money would suggest the grass ain't always greener

Shame most footy players,are thick.

Btw as for VVD, all depends on how close his relationship is,with Koeman. Alternatively he may fancy going to City to replace there host of 30-50m cbs, go to United where if Jose gets up on the wrong side of the bed your finished at the club, or Arsenal who don't know who there next manager is gonna be, and who are gonna lose there two best players in 6 months.

Aymeric Laporte has a release clause of £52m. Hello Aymeric.

Geez I was punting for this bloke beginning of last season.. now that would a hell of a purchase.

I wouldn't go for VVD at those prices mentioned. Would rather take a punt on Stefan de Vrij... not even going to pretend we after Laporte..

 

[Deco]

Yeah so in the Summer we will have something to sell the players.

Currently we have nothing but a dream, players dont sign for dreams.

Europe is huge for us now for attracting players. We're struggling to get that next level of player to join us and although it isn't Champions League, the Europa as well as being a top 7 team in the Premier League, with the wages that comes with it too, would get those players signed.

Can't see that swaying him to be honest.

If it's a choice between a better wage and playing for a team that wants to get up into Europe consistently versus the possibility of maybe winning a cup I think it's an easy decision.

Agreed, nobody wants to join a team thats finished 11th twice, but a team in Europe, on the up, well, maybe.

We should be in for Begovic!!! Seriously messed up if Bournemouth get him

The reality is also that getting top 4 is not guaranteed for any team now. Chelsea and United have both missed out in recent seasons and with Liverpool and Spurs also up there there will inevitably be 'Sky 4' teams missing out every year.

It's not black and white like it used to be, sign for United/Arsenal/Chelsea you'll be in the Champions League.
