January Transfer Thread 2017

[Eggs]

Niasse and Bakayoko all over again

....perhaps but I don't think so.

 

[polish]

Kessie would be exciting signing, but there will be a big competition for him. Think he's nailed on to join Juventus or Chelsea.

Shame as he's great prospect. The next Yaya Toure.

 

[Eggs]

7 in his last 40 Friend.

....would that be games that he's started? I suspect many of his appearances over the last couple of seasons have been off the bench.

[Pabbers]

Kessie or zebli would be good.

 

[Zatara]

Niasse and Bakayoko all over again

Probably the strangest comparisons ever

 

[Caolam]

Apart from Niasse I don't see any paper talk of players leaving the club, surely we have to shift 5/7 before we get more players in.

 

[bluenosematt]

Berahino is a massive no for me. Why would Koeman want him anyway? Surely he's far too lazy for his sort of his teams.

I know nothing about this Kessie fella but if it gives us more of an excuse to boot Gibson, Cleverley (possibly McCarthy) then I'm on board.

Also, Dowell needs to get loaned out if Koeman's not gonna give him a chance yet. He looks too good to be wasted in the u23s.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Probably the strangest comparisons ever

I wasn't trying to make a comparison lad, I'm just wary of purchasing players that are relatively unknown, difficult transition in the premier league. I would much prefer a Troy Deeney type partner for Lukaku someone who can hold the ball up and Rom feed of him. Deeney and Rom would be an amazing combination chances of this happening are slim didn't Leicester have a £25m bid turned down in the summer.

huh?? How is Kessie relatively unknown?

Quite a few have been told they might be better off finding a new club, so I expect their agents have been on the phone all ready. Time will tell though.

 

[GwladysBlue]

I'd take Berahino in a shot.

Hasn't wanted to be at WBA for years now and obviously had the talent to have clubs bidding huge sums for him.

Fresh challenge could do him the world of good.

Some players prefer to stay in a squad and soak up wages than actually play games

True. But not all of them.

And anyone who wants to retain/get an International place wont want to rot.

 

[Ashtonian]

Saido not the player we need to move up a level by a long shot.

But as a means to replace kone and niasse in the squad then he would be better
