January Transfer Thread 2017

[Ernie]

He is the one I would go for with McCarthy has part of the deal.. offer 10m plus Jay Mc

Yes because McCarthy would move to Scotland, Celtic would pay his wages and Celtic only value him at 25m

Well made point, we are close to maxing out on wages, we had to reduce the wage bill to accommodate new players, next year we should be ok

We are absolutely no where near ''maxing out'' on wages. We have huge scope to increase the wage bill due to the STCC implications of the stones sale. Added to the loans out, we have huge scope to increase, much of which is sadly lost (albeit perhaps only temporarily) if we make no further signings.

I don't think @roydo is saying we are currently close to maxing out wages, but that we were in the past. The understanding is we should be fine this window

...Leandro Paredas is a new one to me;

Defensive midfielder? I doubt it.

 

[JLW]

McCarthy wouldn't go there. And even if he wanted to take a backwards step they wouldn't pay his wages.

I think he would be perfect for there, Europe every season, pick up a few medals, first team regular,

Callum Wilson from Bournemouth?

Quite. We were fine on our current levels, but limited at how much we could increase wages without a player sale/Apple sponsoring us.

People who want signing's are being patronised here by some people, not going to state names because I do not wish to argue.

But to merely want a proper striker to back up rom isn't unreasonable and doesn't warrant a reply to words in the effect of 'auhhh some people won't be happy if we don't sign Messi and Neymar'

Common sense is not patronising, it is just the reality of where we are, some of the wanted are not going to come, that's the reality of our position at this moment in time.

That's wrong, we need to do it this window to make use of the profits from the Stones sale.

...I'm not so sure. Looks more like Arteta and Barkley rolled into one.

I don't believe common sense posts are being referred to, patronising posts are the subject here

Yeah, the Stones bounce disappears in a few days.

Not a clue if the USM naming deal will free things up again in the Summer. Assuming it will somehow.

 

[nsno-chris]

Callum Wilson from Bournemouth?

I like Wilson, great movement and doesn't stop running

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Spot on, just like it was in summer, 'we can't buy anyone until stones is sold' haaha

I don't think Everton is for you mate, we just seem to be dragging you down.

 

[ParisToffee]

Enner is just as bad as Niasse if not worse.

Enner was loan to cover what was left after Lukaku ie Naisse, Kone and Rodriguez/Henen etc
He can play a few positions up top too and at least had experience in league so we knew what we were getting and he'll be gone come end of season

If we sign Messi, James Rodriguez, Ronaldo, Suarez and Cavani theres people here who'll moan :-( We're stronger now with Koeman/Walsh in charge than the idiot before even if we sign no one else but we'll pull something out of hat I'm sure
