January Transfer Thread 2017

I'm not surprised we didn't sign a striker now probably waiting for the Rom money

If we signed a striker now BK would have to splash on another when Rom leaves and he'd hate that!! So easier for him to just buy one when Rom goes. Tight arse

I have the feeling now Koeman is starting to get things right, I believe there's loads of money in the pot but it must be spent wisely. I'd be surprised if Lukaku isn't here next season, things are looking up and our squad average age is getting a lot lower by getting rid of the deadwood.

Right, but that's only half the job though. Are you satisfied with our business bringing players in?

I'd hoped for more with all these players leaving.

Our first choice signing in and a promising youngster who has already netted in, and a lot of the deadwood out?

Yeah I'm happy.

Also happy we didn't go for that Yedar Selsavon.....

 

[when i score we riot]

Does Fraudhad not realise Ross McCormack and Jordan Rhodes have been available? We are a shambles. How many days till summer window? Thats if we are not relegated.

Perfect demonstration of Poe's Law that

Still chuffed for Mola and Sniderman, me

The type of player we need to make us a top 4 team aren't going to be available in January.

We've done very well this window. It's the biggest clearout of deadwood in one window that I can recall.

Like helpless seal pups.

Even the u23s weren't safe.

Biggest missed opportunity of the window for me.

Just been waiting numerous windows for an attacking player with some actual brains and experience to counter the youth and inconsistencies in our front line.

It's not too much to ask from a crack squad of transfer getters with available money over the course of two windows

BK doesn't supply the money any more mate. He's a minority shareholder.

Moshiri bankrolls the club, spent £70m+ on players since last July, and only recouped £55m from sales.

So 15m net spend. That's nothing considering the new tv deal

I just don't see us ever having two top strikers at the club. We seem to just settle for weak back ups. If and when Rom goes I can't for the life of me see ya replacing him and getting in someone else even though it's clear we need someone and want someone (belfodil) is an example of that

 

[anton66]

Where's the Sissoko, Koubalily money gone Farhad?

 

[uknightbreed]

am I not right in thinking we have only really offloaded 2 off the wage bill (Gibson and Oviedo) and bought in 1 first teamer ?
the other outgoings were just loans and potentially could come back can they not ?

 

[Fansince1988]

Made up for him

He's an ok player but just hasn't got the quality in his game we are looking for, he should do well there.

Bet Martinez has been watching this window like:

He probably tried to sign a few phenomenal diamonds in the rough for Belgium

 

[Efcjake]

If we'd have sold important first team players, sure, but we sold oxygen theives that were never in our plans. You don't replace a bloated squad to keep it bloated.

Sign quality and make it more competitive, improve the squad. Do we hate signings now?
