January Transfer Thread 2017

I would get Galloway back from West Brom

Defo. Should never have been loaned out.

Ronald on his weird trips I reckon.

Goes off on the source, mushys and beak for two days after a game - win, lose or draw - Maradona-esque.

Ends up rocking in on a Monday wired as tits, licking the remnants of flake from his baggie before his weekly meeting with Walsh, who just bombards him with random players from the arse-end of nowhere.

By the time it's all over big Ron's got the fear and just sacks training off to go on the golf course. By the time he's sobered up for Thursday's presser, he realises that in the last two days he's deemed Valencia and Kone as adequate back-ups for Rom, so just decides to slate the board or say the players are tosh.

Great stuff from Ron-Ko.

How eloquently put.

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Defo. Should never have been loaned out.

Was as good as Holgate when he was given a run in the first team. Can play LB or CB. A very poor decision to loan him to West Brom in hindsight.

It'd be a miracle if Moist keeps them up under these conditions. This is what he did year after year at Everton mind.

he looks a broken manager to me now mate. the way he was talking about "don't expect anyone I sign to make a difference" is really poor imo. Firstly as a player coming in that doesn't give you confidence and just generally it's a poor defeatist mentality to have.

His fall from grace has been quite rapid and spectacular.

We should throw £10m+ in for Tierney once Oviedo goes. Left back for the next 10 years once he takes over from Baines

I am pretty firm in the belief that Koeman identified Baines as a key player to keep onside if boats weren't to be rocked on him early during his time here. If anyone stood a great chance of taking that LB berth away from Baines it was Galloway...who Koeman KNEW was solid there because he saw what he could do at first hand when Everton battered his S'ton 3-0 down there last season.

I think the decision to send him out on loan was political more than tactical.

WRD saying we have bid over £20m for an unnamed striker in the premier league... cant think of many off the top of my head? Arnautovic?

Wont be able to play wing back though

Wilson, Bournemouth? He's been linked with a move away and I'm sure I've just seen they've (Bournemouth) got bids for him.

Is this like a couple of weeks ago when he said we were in for Mertens, or also like when he siad we were going all out for VVD?

Him and Fergie are cut from the same cloth though mate

 

[germanblue]

Oviedo out means a new LB in? Taylor from Leeds?

 

[Azza]

I'd be made up with Keane.

I don't see what UK based striker we'd sign. The only one of note who we could get would be Benteke.

 

[marchy]

Is Keane left or right footed?

I agree but he'd be a good £20m i suspect
