January Transfer Thread 2017

[Darth Toffeeman]

Cascarino tonight saying we dodged a massive bullet with Sissoko. I really hope Koeman knows what he's doing come January

I still cannot believe we tried to sign him.
He is everything that is wrong with modern football. Nyarko levels of garbage.

I remember celebrating when Spurs stepped in and signed him. Massive bullet dodged.

Yeah Martinez got rid of Naismith and Anichebe for next to nothing and replaced them with Kone and Niasse for the best part of £20million?!

We got 14 million for those two, so rid isn't the correct word, again we are also forgetting how limited they were as footballers, unfortunately Naisse is not even a footballer.....

£14,5 mil received £18.5mil spent.

£14,5 mil received £18.5mil spent.

Essentially spent four million to significantly weaken our striking options.

 

[BlueToff]

I'm sure if the £'s are right he, like any player, will stay in the Premier League. Italian football is not attractive to the majority of players, English football is significantly more enticing. Everton are English, ergo there's no reason he wouldn't rock up to FF.

He won't

Wouldn't mind Gareth McAuley me. Proven strong, solid defender and a big threat from corners - knows the league as well and is always an absolute rock for Northern Ireland. Might get a few good seasons out of him.

I know I'll get laughed at because he's Northern Irish and doesn't have a fancy name.

Hes 36 and McAuley is quite fancy, its 3 syllables.

 

[PhilM]

I would throw up to £60m at Saints for him.
He is a quality CH and we need that here.
If we want to compete we need to start spending top dollar.
Worked with Koeman, respects him and is proven in this league.

We were apparently willing to spend ludicrous amounts on Koulibaly, who for all his ability is unproven in the PL, so why not with van Dijk?

I'm not saying he'll come here, in fact I'd be incredibly surprised if he does as there'll be significant interest, but I'd be over the moon with him.

in my fantasy team , not a bad call by yourself.

Thought we got circa £15m for the pair. £9m from Nowich and £6m from West Brom.

Kone got injured pretty badly. Nobody can plan for that.

Lets get one thing straight here, Anichebe and Naismith were both rubbish. Other players being rubbish doesnt make them any less so.

£60mil? surely for them £40mil is enough...

 

[Goat]

60m for Van Dirge, hahaha, you people are MENTAL

Let's get another thing straight here, Kone and Niasse are even more rubbish than Anichebe and Naismith.

The fact is we are worse off both in terms of playing staff and to the tune of 4 million quid as a result. I'd swap Kone and Niasse for Naismith and Anichebe without a moment's hesitation because we'd be better off for doing so.

No we wouldnt though.

None of them would be in the team. None of them are good enough for what we want to be.

I like Naismith's work rate but he is a very limited footballer. Anichebe actually has a bit of ability but he has the heart of a mouse.

How about we have none of them and get someone better?
