January Transfer Thread 2017

[Goat]

Got rid of the dead wood so not all bad... wage bill down ready for the summer. Dont loose any sleep lads. It could be worse

I personally dont believe there has been a major reduction in the wage bill, based on the 2 windows this season.

8 Ins 9 Outs

Thats our main business over 2 windows, for people who care about such things, a net spend of roughly minus 8m, give or take a few pennies, based on sale prices of garbo that wont be coming back.

The question is, has the squad been improved or weakened.

I vote stronger.

Don't forget about over age U23's player Conor McAleny.

Ok, so 1 hr left.

Not a single EFC rumour on Twitter, GOT, TEF or anywhere else. Not a single WUM on here even.
No rabbit out of the hat, although we reportedly got close on Ramsdale, a player I have never heard of even though I am a vivid Football Manager player since 1993.

Not even a single weak rumour, no sightings near the West Derby ATM.

Not even an african flop from the russian league.....

Not even anything resembling Odemwingie in a car outside Loftus Road.

Finally, it seems are banking on Robinson, Kenny, Lewin and Walsh as our backups for the rest of the season.

I'm not mad, just a little disappointed in TDD.....

(still agreeing 100% with the Koeman-approach with freeing wages and applying youth rather than drunken-drivers)

BUT COME ON!!!! SOMEONE GIVE ME SOMETHING!!!!

Smart business.

 

[malcson]

Grosicki to Hull, and Gabbiadini to Southampton makes me wonder how seriously we wanted these players in the summer? If we had serious interest I don't see why this wasn't followed up, surely we are a more attractive proposition than either of those!!

Stronger squad but we really are knackered if rom gets injured. That's something that should have been sorted in the summer though, as it's always difficult to pick up an in form striker in Jan unless you are willing to pay silly money.

 

[Bob Elstone]

Would be nice after this fanfare of new found wealth, to have at least one marquee signing...we keep hearing that we have all this financial power and nothing really changes.

stronger and younger but still a bit underwhelming window, but i quess this could be seen as a huge success too.

Look at the standard of club they've ended up at. We're above that.

 

[Thomasc]

Gk; Robles & Stek
CD: Williams, RFM, Holgate, Jags
RB: Coleman, Kenny
LB: Baines
CM: Schneiderlin, Gueye, Davies, Barry, McCarthy, Besic
Attacking options: Barkley, Mirallas, Lennon, Lookman, Valencia, Lukaku, DCL

22 players and other decent under 23's to come in.

Hopefully enough to get us euro footy next season which will help attract better / younger players to replace Jags, Lennon Valencia, McCarthy, Mirallas.

Jobs a goodun

Bout the same, he's just got the players what he likes now.

WTF is a marquee signing?

 

[TheFinnFan]

i have a feeling we will pull the plug on Kone deal

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Everything will be fine because we have a magnificent midfield.

We did the biggest individual deal of the window.
