January Transfer Thread 2017

[orly]

Professional footballers shouldn't be entertaining the idea of a fight at all. I hope we don't see this animal anywhere near the first team.

Disgusting lack of professionalism and clearly a dubious moral code

 

[Baines' left foot]

Stop wearing the cap then.

And what cap might this be? I'm almost certain it's not anything to do with transfers.

 

[tommytowne]

[Poor language removed] Steel and Donker?
Pattern emerging perhaps.

This has got to be a wind up?

Anfernee Dijksteel, imagine him and Rodwell in the middle of the park, double teaming the opposition!

Seen something twitter claiming we are interested in Leon Bailey from Gent along with a host of top clubs...

'Bailey grew up in the Cassava Piece area of Kingston, Jamaica. He played for the Phoenix All-Star Academy operated by his adoptive father, Craig Butler. In 2011, Butler arrived in Europe to find a club for his son Kyle Butler and Leon Bailey. They wandered around Austria, Germany and Holland, before ending up in KRC Genk, where Bailey went on trial in the beginning of 2012. Genk was convinced of his qualities, but because of the very strict regulations on minors by FIFA, they couldn't offer him a contract. So, the club made Leon Bailey sign a draft agreement when he was only 15 years old, which is illegal in Belgium.[2] Bailey moved into a house in As, near Genk. After Butler left for Mexico, initially to formalize his move to Belgium, he went missing for four months. According to him, he was abducted. In these four months Genk took care of the minor children, who at that time were without parents or a legal guardian illegally residing in Belgium. When Butler returned after four months, he was broke and KRC Genk offered him a job with a sponsor of the club. This was the only way to try and bend FIFA rules on minors. After the Labour Ministry heard of the matter, they raided KRC Genk, and Butler and his players had to retreat. So, he went to Standard Liege,[3] but the transfer wasn't approved because Butler had no work permit. As a result, they could not legally reside in Belgium. Thereafter they went back to Jamaica, but they returned several times to Europe, where Butler offered his players at several European clubs. With AFC Ajax, he reached a verbal agreement in October 2013, but a transfer did not materialize. The FIFA rules did not permit a player under eighteen years to sign a professional contract with a football club.[4] In the beginning of 2015, Bailey appeared in AS Trenčín, where he signed a contract.'

Shady article on wiki but, to be fair, most of our first team went missing for 2 years!

Agreed terms with leverkusen

I know you're in a relegation battle but with that deal you may as well book your trips to Norwich , Preston and the rest . Any deal that sees you losing Defoe and it's over surely ?

I meant to quote the bit where I wouldn't be happy with that deal. We're screwed anyway tbh eventually a turd will flush

Dijck. Steel.

Charlton want to hand a new long-term contract to central midfielder Anfernee Dijksteel.

The South London Press has been told that both Everton and Ajax are interested in the 20-year-old.

Dijksteel has been capped once by Holland at under-20 level and made the move to South London from the Nike Academy in January 2016. His current deal only runs until the summer.

Highlight reel -

Sign him up for that name alone....

Got that mate I was agreeing with you

 

[EddyKent]

Would you switch Ivanovic for Jagielka?

2 more in being a defender and a striker to complement Lukaku fella's?

 

[Bulgarian toffee]

The Bulgarian League is worse than the Russian League. Just saying.

A lot worse to be fair.

Nah waste of money. Let Holgate plays for the time being. If we can't get a top CB in his prime now then get him in the summer.

Do you think Cafu will make it at Everton mate?
