January Transfer Thread 2017

Tired of the BUT WHAT IF ROM GETS INJURED complaining. There was no adequate substitute on offer who would have been happy to sit on our bench and do almost nothing. You can't buy what's not on sale.

We'll spend 60m next summer, the 60m we get for Rom.

It would have been a decent window, but we have wasted the profit from the Stones sale.

A big player will have to be sold in the summer to pay the wages of the new signings.

I know jack about this sort of stuff but how come we need to sell big to purchase when teams like Palace can splash on Benteke and Cabaye in one window without selling anyone for a meaningful sum?

Again it's just wild guesses but if we have to sell to buy I will give up

At the AGM Friend.

Think both have 18months left on their contracts??? Thats the important factor, Roms book value will be greater than Ross, due to Ross being "free", but not a major difference IMO, could be wrong like.

Please retract your comments regarding a potential sale of Romelu Lukaku Friend. I don't think I can cope with this.

You can though mate, you just keep clicking on the increase offer button, it's dead easy.

Letting Del leave with no replacement forward is bad I think.

Lookman.

Besides, Del was nowhere near the squad.

Think that decision will be in Rom's hands Matty.

Transfer window about to be gently closed. No need to slam it this time
