January Transfer Thread 2017

Yeah but he can join in the summer like..

We could go after someone else in the Summer.

It's a moot point anyway tbh as I think we all know Liverpool are going to turn them over.

may get some juicy embargo bits later.

Still reckon there's two to come in, with 2-3 out.

Plenty of time though.

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.

Conspiracy theory time, the rs won't pay what's needed for him, they won't want a rival asctgey pervieve getting him in the summer, letting sahko go saints will make saints more likely to let vvd go this January... to us...

One a Friday night before the game? Doubt it like

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

Saints don't spend 20m to replace a player they will 've lucky to get 6m for mate, not the clubs mo

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.

Europe is massive for us for various off tjd field and on the field reasons.

We get into Europe and its a real market for brand exposure for us, for ffp it will help, and on the pitch it will attract the players, make our key ones more likely to stay.

Hopefully 7th is enough.

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

If city wanted him mate they'd buy him now not wait.

Honestly hope they do mate, not gonna lie, more chance of us being in Europe next season that way.

....not sure if he would be available for Champions League, Soton are still in the League Cup.

Possibly, my gut recki s we will just get reasonscwhu we pulled away from deals and some flimflam, next week maybe a lot more, agree with three in three out btw.

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.

In a way the PL being such a tough league with so many teams fighting for the top 4 would benefit us with two of the "Sky 6" missing out, and I think it'll soon turn into players just wanting to play in Europe.

We need to force it into a Sky 7 and this can only be done by keeping the likes of Lukaku, building an incredible new stadium, and finishing above one of those teams.

Mate, a team like city, if they want a player from saints, will just go out and get him, no matter the other circumstances. Especially with the current state of them and the threat of missing out on top four.

It's all media driven rubbish nigh on everything written now about next summer's window, its a way of getting clicks from the big clubs fans as there's no actual or rather factual stories to report and the papers need them clicks.

Was it Carra la or someone else who said a few weeks ago that the RS were preparing a bid that would "blow Everton out of the water" ?
