January Transfer Thread 2017

Quiet tomorrow I think. Until Jim White starts saying sissoko is on his way when he's at home eating his tea.

Been out with the family all day - is it right we sold Gibson and Oviedo for £7.5 million? I know Sky are reporting it but I find it so hard to believe that half of me thinks the falafel wrap I had for lunch was laced with hallucinogens.

Yep mate everyone seems happy

 

[Warlordperforming]

I'm Mr cynical but we have spent some money this window and brought in very little in regards to fees.

So not been sell to buy at all this window

Tom is as good as sold 8
Oveido and Gibson 8
16 so far
the 200k plus saved on wage bill is 5 mil
and excess in TV money Minus our neg 2 net spend

When you take into account facts like:
Lookman was 7.5 mil up front
Morgan was 20 mil in installments

You do the maths that is without potential of Mccarthy leaving Geri being sold at end of loan.


Under bill we would sell one window and invest money in other windows that was sell to buy.

Just because they money isn't being paid up front example Tom C doesn't mean they won't be sold.

Who will score our goals if Rom is injured?

We'll just bring Niasse back , lad

 

[Goat]

No change

Keep the faith Browns.

It's like Christmas eve.

Only santa isn't coming to empty his sack.

I for 1 disagree with this statement.

We currently have players out on loan that will either sign for the clubs they are currently at or be sold to another club that will add up to vastly more than the current incoming transfers we have acquired.

I mean this is not a negative manner, I have indeed maintained a stance that we wouldnt go crazy with the spending in this window if we didnt have a very good chance of claiming top 4.

We have operated a solid plan of removing "deadwood" from the squad, maintaining a solid STCC with regards wages due to loans and allowing us to operate in a more fluent manner in the summer.

Thats 1 way to look at it.

The other is that we are all been taken for utter mugs and The Mosh is leading us down the garden path.

Tune in tomorrow to find out.

There is also the possibility that he has looked at the u23s / lower age groups and realized that he could save a fortune by just allowing them to come through.

Given you seem to know so much, I'm half expecting you to play on Wednesday and bag a hat trick.

A noble idea I suppose.

I am more than happy with improving by selling dross and moving forward with good signings, I did think we squandered part of Stones money in summer but time will tell if we will do that again, positive is Lookman and Morgan are sound for me.


But we can only go so far on a sell to buy model look at saints a glass ceiling is there.

We won't be able to sell to buy like Dortmund as walsh isn't as good at his job as them lot.

I think my personal opinion is stadium is priority and the is a policy in place from the top but that is going off on a tangent

They are sold next year not this year. So any potential incoming from them goes next year and off the bill then.

What we have spent this year is on one balance sheet and next year there is another balance sheet.

 

[Warlordperforming]

Sell to buy isn't negative by the way if it's smartly done.
I think it's outstanding we managed to command the fee's we have done on our deadwood.

 

[Stutheblue]

I'll be pleased whether we bring in more or not. You'd expect to get rid of that deadwood over about two seasons & we've just done it in the January transfer window. This can only be a fantastic move for the progress of our "project". We now have standards & Koeman has spoke about the "quality over quantity" aspect today. Very pleased today & this will set us up for a fantastic summer of new quality additions.

COYB!

Plenty have said we need to give RK at least until the end of the summer window to shape 'his' team and before the pressure really comes on him (if we're not doing to well at that point). I'd agree that summer is the more important window. Ideally I would've liked a couple more this window, especially given we've off loaded some deadwood (which is very good).
But, I can wait 6 more months, provided it goes off big time in the summer!!

 

[Hogwild]

It's like Christmas eve.

Behaved poorly as a child and received a fair amount of coal then did you?

(sorry - couldn't resist)

The Everton manager will make a last-ditch bid to persuade Burnley to sell him their England Under-21 defender Michael Keane , with the two clubs locked in negotiations.
