January Transfer Thread 2017

[Baldynut]

Strange how there is no definite links to possible targets

 

[Connor]

Shades of Kone?

He's far superior to Kone.

 

[Harry Gray]

Shades of Kone?

Black mostly

 

[Zatara]

Can I have a jarg ITK with big fake news to give please.

Kessie £30mil
Gimenez €42mil release fee
Fosu-Mensah £12mil

 

[bluestevon]

Kessie looks really good

Honestly we don't need him - he may be great etc etc etc, but right now why should we be paying 30m+ for a young player to simply displace Davies - or for that fee more than likely to displace Gueye/Barkley and force Davies down further.

Gonna spend big money on positions now, then it should be for areas where we are weak - Mori and Mirallas being the obvious two starting positions that we could and should look to upgrade on

 

[bluestevon]

Kessie £30mil
Gimenez €42mil release fee
Fosu-Mensah £12mil

Kessie a defensive midfielder
Fosu Mensah - a defensive midfielder

Zat, the one position in this squad we do not need now and potentially for the next 3 years plus is a defensive/central midfielder

 

[TheFinnFan]

Burnley wouldnt sell Keane before summer. His value will only rise and they wouldnt want to upset the core of the team and risk of getting into relegation mix

 

[ToffeeTim]

Kessie £30mil
Gimenez €42mil release fee
Fosu-Mensah £12mil

Fosu Mensah is an absolute yard dog

Fosu Mensah is an absolute yard dog

Nah he actually has a lot of potential, but we don't need him

i think lookman will come in for mirallas...

The big ones are;

GK
LCB
CF
LB

But....if you play 3 cms i think you need 5 in total

barks gueye schneids davies kessie

that looks strong...but yeah like you said before if walsh comes through no need....

how about europa next season though?

Fosu mensah is a full back mate who can play centre back

 

[Zatara]

Fosu Mensah is an absolute yard dog

Hes class...

 

[EFCccc]

I think where done this s window now. Wayyy to quite with no real links around now.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Fosu Mensah is an absolute yard dog

Whenever I see his name i always think about filling in those tests on the back of newspapers years ago to see if I qualify.

I agree that these 2 are most likely the areas he will try to improve on next. Both doing a decent job at present though, so they do have the opportunity to show him they are worth keeping.

We will need another striker too, that's for sure. Unless he believes DCL has the tools to come through as well.
