January Transfer Thread 2020

Or else !!

You see how threadbare our squad is right now

We're going to have to sign players this January, or at least fill out the ranks with some loans

 

[Eggs]

A midfielder is a must I think, along with a centre back and a striker

Basically the spine of the team needs work

...the Salisu and Maja links are interesting.

Salusu looks like a CB with a Rolls Royce engine but is very young and perhaps a bit raw. I don’t know if we’d want more of the finished article. Maja looks a goalscorer but he might be at a similar stage to Kean. Potential not proven.

 

[sageyefc]

I'd be all for Nathan Ake

Cant defend, been a key part of a defence that’s conceded the most goals in the league since he’s been there

The key word there is "part" ! Not all down to him surely? He's decebt enough. Better then what we have I'd suggest. But we're not in for him so nothing to see.

 

[brieverton]

CM is a priority, If we managed to get a decent passer in there it would improve us no end.

We could pad out the squad with a CF on loan perhaps.

I think we'll do business but no more than 1-2 signings.

Salisu is left-footed too.

Bournemouth would want a fortune. Better value out there. We should only be spending big on true world class talent. If Carlo & Brands can attract it.

Gbamin was injured in training, Delph always struggled with injuries, Bernard hadn’t kicked a ball for 6 months an in to the fastest pace league in the world.
Gomes and Mina where both had knocks.. not sure Silva training helped

Exactly.

 

[davek]

I think Cm is our priority tbh. I know we have two to come back but neither of them are quick and they aren’t guaranteed to come back the same player as before , especially Gomes. I can’t think of a slower Cm anywhere on the league then Fairview, siggy and delph. A quick one two , goal side of our Cm and the whole shape gets pulled around everywhere.

I know that, but it's short term and until the summer. You cant expect the club to be paying another £30M out for a MF player because we need to see another 15 or so games out. That's the hard nosed way they'll look at it. We need to buy in positions that will for certain need buying for: CB and upfront.

 

[davek]

Possibly the worst collective of midfielders in the league. You're mental if you don't think a CM is needed.

...IT'S THAT WAY UNTIL THE SUMMER.

The club will not be handing over tens of millions more now when Gbamin and Gomes are due back then.

 

[Pabbers]

Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal interested in Kenny!?!
But the everton booing experts dont Rate him...

 

[Pejic300]

This particular string puller looks a bit past his peak. Hopefully won't cost too much because of age, but won't have any sell on value for the same reason.

Very experienced, and Italian to boot.

 

[Eggs]

Salisu is left-footed too.

...very good point, Nymz.

 

[Glasshalffull]

True - well spotted, but the white moustache is worrying me. Maybe we should have a 'no white moustache' transfer policy.
