January Transfer Thread 2017

If we paid 60m for Van Dirge I honestly think I would move to Madrid and start supporting Real.

Jesus Christ where has the £60m come from?!?

 

[roydo]

Here's a point.

If Moshiri was around the club for 12 months plus before he joined us why did we not buy players before knowing prices were going to rise so much, especially as bill and him were so close. Surely they knew players were going to rise so much.

Because why would you pay a builder to build an extension on a house you might buy?

Moshiri doesnt even care how much the players cost, Monopoly money he said.

And if you were gonna buy a new car, would you stick a full tank of petty in it after a test drive?

And they probably didnt wanna give El fraudo anymore money to waste on tosh like Niasse.

 

[Papa Shango]

Of course none of them are good enough for what we want to be, but it is nonsense to say we would be no better off than we are now if we swapped Kone and Niasse for Anichebe and Naismith. With either of Anichebe or Naismith in the squad, we could actually consider substituting Lukaku towards the end of games without having to totally change the system that we play. If Lukaku gets injured- what are would our options be?

Ideally yes, have none and get better players.

I dont agree. There is no difference for me between Kone, Anichebe and Naismith. Niasse I have no idea about but he isnt an out and out striker anyway.

I reckon @Mikey_Fitzgerald would love both!

Van Dijk ,Berahino and Loftus-Cheek would be my core targets mate

No

Do you inject smack directly into your eyeballs Mikey?

 

[Brownie]

I'd have anyone for 60mil just so we've got a 60 million pound player. Give it Sunderland for Victor.

 

[Zatara]

Why berahino?

Loftus Cheek is an interesting one but whose to say he can make the grade consistently?

Jimmy Vaughan Browns.

I happen to think Berahino can still be a success, just needs a change of scenery

As for Loftus-Cheek, I think he's talented but I also would enjoy the rage from Goat that we'd sign someone so young. Actual steam out of his bitter, youth hating ears

Also, he's named after a sandwich

What's not to like?

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

No

Yes mate

I think he'd turn his career around with us

 

[ijjysmith]

Yes mate

I think he'd turn his career around with us

I think we can get substantially better.

And no I don't know who. Me maybe.

 

[PhilM]

Van Dijk ,Berahino and Loftus-Cheek would be my core targets mate

Oh God. You were doing so well with originally identifying van Dijk but then you simply throw it all away with those two.
