January Transfer Thread 2017

I'd much rather we do nothing today than make ourselves look amateurish again like we did with the Sissoko bid last summer. If we do move for anyone let's not look stupid because if it goes tits up it just invites public criticism.

How many years can we go on relying on Lukaku not getting injured? He needs some quality to push his performances on.

Valencia isn't good enough.

One in for cover I reckon. Prob a LB/CB.

Then we must throw cash around like Jordan Belfort in Monte Carlo next summer

 

[Jags..class]

Most of us are happy with the window tbf and don't want to waste money if our targets are not available yet. We all might get a little surprise today.

....this report suggests talks have taken place with a Emerson but no deal done and other clubs are interested;

...Sheffield United are bracing themselves for another bid for their young goalkeeper, Aaron Ramsdale;

The outgoings don't benefit our STCC for the summer. The Stones deal is also lost. That is the one concern with this. Potentially the clev and Deleuofeu deals could go through to help this but it seems we've lost out on a bit of potential wage increases. I'm hoping we are planning a huge spree in the summer but there's always that nagging doubt that someone else will be sold for big money and we'll be told it's for the same purposes as Stones left.

Anyways one in today would be a good start on the build towards August

Couldn't our current STCC bonus be used to re-sign Barkley and others to higher wages?

...hands off Keane. Surely unlikely to happen today;

Weird how Valencia isn't good enough all of a sudden to be back up despite playing pretty well/ok the last few games he had.

It's nigh on impossible to get better that will be happy to sit there and potentially do nothing unless Rom gets injured.

...Koeman says Jagielka is needed and won't be going anywhere;

Nothing big happening today. It's clear now.

been thinking on this too, everyone wants a backup striker, but anyone who comes knows they going to be 2nd choice, and sit bench.

At least we have footy to watch tomorrow

 

[AaronTheBlue]

I still stand by the opinion we will get a first team player or two in today.

Maybe a nice surprise.
