January Transfer Thread 2020

I suspect Brighton would want a big fee for him but I think Dunk would be a good if unglamorous signing. Would probably be too pricey for any deal to make sense though.

They wanted £50m in the summer.

They still want 50m.

Who's our best defender then?

Mason Holgate

It depends I suppose, I would say hes in the middle bracket for us, which is of course the higher bracket for most other teams other than the big boys.

£80k ?

Is the correct answer.

Anything we pay him is silly.

Spot on!



I think Keane and Mina will rotate till summer.

As much as I rate Mina and wanted us to get a top partner to compliment his style...i now think Holgate is top class and think we have to find someone alongside him.

Mina/Keane i think will be moved on with a partner for Holgate the priority.

makes Michael Keane look pacey does Dunk

 

[chippy1722]

He's not even linked with us, I was just responding to another poster's suggestion. I think he's alright, he wasn't great yesterday but I've seen him play pretty well in the past, I'm not especially pro or anti-Dunk, we won't be signing him, he would almost certainly be poor value if we did want to sign him.

I’d take him over Kean and Mina myself but the prices have gotten ridiculous these days, he’s the old style CH you have these days with a ball playing defender, same with Duffy.
I don’t think it would take much to improve on our Centre Halves, Holgate has gone from a loaned out wing back to easily the best defender we have, in any position.

100% agree

Every single other one has not potential to be a top 4 starter. Digne was last year. Coleman pre injury

Adversus needs a good ol’ American History X’ing.

Expect Keane would be fine in the right system for him - not Marco Silva's though - I wonder if Ancelotti can recover him.

[Chewbacca]

I’d put in a cheeky bid for Aguero
