January Transfer Thread 2017

[ijjysmith]

Sorry mate, but if you think we're getting a top striker in Jan, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, unless Koeman is going to switch to 4-4-2 permanently and makes that clear to the newbie, and I don't think he will

Soz

I've not mentioned 'top striker'. I've said I don't want Shane Long and Saido Berahino. Like a normal person.

Can Mikey and his Berahino shouts be banned from this thread please?

 

[hktoffee]

If we sign Long or Berahino I'm giving up.

Same. Hoping for better players with high profile names in Jan.

 

[ijjysmith]

So you wouldnt have Jackson Martinez?

I'd guess he's on about £250k a week no?

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

So you wouldnt have Jackson Martinez?

No mate, because if he's willing to take a big payday to play in a league that crap he clearly doesn't have the drive or self respect to make it in the PL

There's a big difference from that and being a young hungry player in the SPFL trying to play their way to a big move down south

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Rumours did the rounds that wasn't that pullis didn't rate him but rather wanted to sell him due to pullis getting nice backhanders from the deal. Allegedly...

Well there you go then

Not too bothered about high profile names.

Just good committed footballers will do me.

Semantics!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's Shane Long mate

Works hard and is decent

Commited yes.

Good no.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Commited yes.

Good no.

Oh come on mate

He's perfectly fine and already knows and likes the manager

Plus he'll be alright with playing second fiddle to Rom

Who else would you go for striker wise that will,

A. Want to come here and be back up

and

B. Isn't pish?

Leigh Griffiths Mikey, cometh the hour cometh the man.

I'd honestly rather have Enner Valencia than Shane Long.

If you want my honest opinion I'd bet we don't sign a striker in January at all. Just my gut guess.

We might get a midfielder of some sort.

 

[ijjysmith]

Leigh Griffiths Mikey, cometh the hour cometh the man.

Don't encourage him!!!

Although I'd rather Long than Griffiths.

Let's make Mikey choose.

Griffiths or Long Mikey??

After not losing today I think we only need to spend 250 mill, reduced from my admittedly somewhat unrealistic 425 million
