January Transfer Thread 2017

[Bagpuss]

One area we really don't need anything else at the moment. Davies will be better than him by now anyway.

Agree, only mentioned it as someone earleir in the thread said we were using a galloway loan as bait to get hughes in.

Well done to Stoke for getting their man, he'll be a good signing for them

Nothing to get down about yet Mikey.

Stoke manager Mark Hughes remains "hopeful" of signing West Brom striker Saido Berahino in the January transfer window.

Last thing we need though in truth, is a player who spits his dummy out as soon as things get a bit tough. Couldn't think of a player i'd rather not have at the moment that might be available.

Billic did the right thing outing him, the absolute pampered, bottom lip wobbling queg.

in all seriousness you're absolutely right. Billic looked beaten and you get the sense he genuinely feels betrayed by Payet.

LOL

If he's bored, he can come up the apples and pears and see me emptying my Jacobs on his finger and thumbs boat race.

COCKney.

I'll change my avatar to something more befitting

New investors in and still a less attractive prospect than stoke. This is the reality check we all need

This is more like it - a player we have a realistic chance of signing.

@Bulgarian toffee posted this earlier about the lad Eggs:

About Jonathan Cafu.
If I have to compare his team Ludogoretz to a team all you know, this must be Celtic. There are some similarities between those two teams. They are about the same level, they are head and shoulders above the others in very poor leagues and most of their domestic games are like walk in the park. The biggest difference is that Ludogoretz is a relatively new project and have no history at all (apart from their recent successful period, in terms of history they are like Brighton). This project is largely based on a very good scouting network in Latin America. They get some very good players for free or for peanuts. Cafu has been their standout player this season. He is generally a winger but was used as a false nine in some games too. He is fast and skillful, has an eye for a good pass and is certainly capable of magic moments (take a look at his goals against Basel and especially Red Star Belgrade in the CL). It is important to mention that Ludogoretz usually play a pressing game and they recruit players that suit that system. Another positive is that, should we get him, he has a Bulgarian passport, so the work permit should not be an issue. However, I am not too excited with this prospect. My main concern is that he will be bullied in the PL and I am not sure that he will adapt well physically. Plus, I don't think he is better than Lennon and especially Del. If Del comes to play in the Bulgarian league, he will look better than Ronaldo. I am not sold on that one.
