January Transfer Thread 2017

[Hangleton]

I would also add atm we have spent around £53 million net these 2 windows:

Steklenburg: £500k
Gueye: £7 million
Williams: £12 million
Bolasie: £28 million

Schneiderlein: £24 million
Lookman: £11 million
Belfodil: £10.5 million

Total: £93 million

Out: Stones £40 million (£47.5 before Barnsleys cut)

£53 million roughly net. Schneiderlein and Gueye are massive improvements in midfield but unless Lookman and Belfodil are successes then overall I would say our transfer business hasnt been great considering we have spent over £90 million.

Obviously Cleverly, Niasse, Deulofeu and McCarthy all out the door in the summer will probably raise around £30-50 million which will have us closer to 0 net spend, so we have manoeuvre to still spend money imo.

Bolasie injured at such a high cost has made it shocking business if in all likelihood he comes back with either/both a yard of pace missing and unable to twist and turn as freely, all symptoms of bad ACL injuries.

you forgot DCL 1.5 million

I can feel a fairly big departure coming on.

Nobody key to the first team is leaving in this window.

I wasn't talking football mate.

I'm on the toilet.

Will you be sad to see Cleverly go?

pretty pointless doing net spend etc. of transfer fees tbh, i bet 99% of transfers are spread out over months etc. and then there's other operating costs and wages etc. etc.

 

[BlueToff]

Seen a few rumours on Twitter (I know) that Cleverley is off to Watford.

TBC

Bolasie was £22 million
Lookman was £7 million
Williams was £10 million
Schneiderlin was £22 million
EDIT - Belfodil fee looks to actually be £3 million

So you can take £20 million from you figures lolz

But carry on with the moaning and negative spin!!

Some fans are never happy, its a joke really!!!

We want to spend, but then moan when we do.

The new signings have probabky been our best players this season.

Even the keeper started well and saved us loads of points.

Very true, yet every transfer window fans obsess about what they (wrongly) assume our net spending to be

It can only mean one thing - Martinez is getting the job there!

 

[bol-uk]

Anyone hear Beraheino (sp) on his way to Everton (BBC Radio Wolverhampton or similar)

Really. I'd swerve him. Good player but a troublemaker.

 

[bullybeef]

This is too much, I can't cope.

 

[Jags..class]

Hoepfully we get rid a few
Naiise
Kone
Gibson

Would be my first 3 to get rid

 

[Neiziro]
