January Transfer Thread 2017

[Martino Robertez]

I'd happily throw 60m at martial. Not that it would ever happen

Hasn't shown enough yet to justify that price tag. He's barely showed he's worth the stonking amount Utd paid for him in the first place. He's had a few good performances so far for them, but has he shown anything more than Lennon and Deulofeu did for us?

If Bolasie is worth 30m (LOL). I think we'd have to be paying about 300m for Martial.

3 words learn-ing, up-grade, po-is-tion, I'd proof read if you're gonna attempt to insult peoples intelligence.

He doesn't need any help from me.

Maybe the spelling bit?

Bolasie was £22m

 

[PeregrineT]

Ok, for the hard of learning: we need an upgrade at one position...but not at one we have strength in depth in.

Only two of those ^^^ words were more than one syllable, so maybe that sinks in this time.

No worries about it sinking in, I haven't taken your comedy routine seriously for some time .

I think the rest of us have a pretty good idea of what needs to be upgraded in the squad, and are both happy with what we have seen, and know the 2-3 more players we need in.

The vast majority of it was add-ons, £35m initial fee wasn't it? Not sure how many of the clauses have been triggered however.

Though if we're looking for a boss player that would be universally accepted by the fans, that would also make the world think "How the eff did they get him?", this is our man.

I wonder if we can't get him for 30? We're gonna have to get use to paying big sums if we are serious about a top 4 challenge next season

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Martial would be very high on the shortlist to replace Lukaku

Let's be honest, I'm clearly an idiot though, why else would I be trying to convince Davek that schneids was a good buy?

Or, right this might be a bit mad but listen to us for a minute here, he could partner him.

 

[MrGrumpy]

I am happy personally with early business. But I have a sneaking feeling that it was done early due to that only being what the board wanted and no more. Koeman said in the summer he wanted 3 or 4 and got Enner. We all know he uses broken english with respect. He says thinks like but okay we must improve if possible. I think he knows full well the will be no more signings and club isn't even rolling out the 'look we tried' spiel like it did in summer.

U turn in form allows club to not have to be held accountable over signings like Enner while we are playing with fire for not having backup to Lukaku.

Do you EVER post anything positive and upbeat? All you ever say is.....we are not buying any one, right doom and gloom merchant you are. We have 1 in Devek don't need a 2nd one

 

[jceverton]

All depends doesn't it, often it's not the assist which is the key ball in the lead up to a goal buit the ball before that, if neither chip in with many but they are constantly feeding Barkley, Davies and the fullback who then provide an assist - does it really matter?

It's the main statistic we've got, generally it's a fairly accurate. Hard to argue that Gueye and Schneiderlin are going to add enough between them creatively.

How much did markovic cost mate

Please don't quote those 2 in the same phrase as Martial. Ta.

I'd absolutely love to believe that could happen. But sadly, I've come to the conclusion Rom will be off before that would ever happen.

 

[JustOpp]

Theoretically, how do you think Martial and Lookman would fare as a duo?
