January Transfer Thread 2020

Would t have a problem with his playing ability but why would he want to come to us - oh yes - Money ! Maybe not the best fit

Can is in the transfer rumour section almost as much as Rabiot. He must've been linked with every club in Europe so forgive me if I don't give this story much credit.

Haven’t seen Can since he played for Liverpool, if he still plays the same he’d walk into our midfield and improve it easily. He was a bit of a snide too which we’ve lacked for a long long time.

Read its 4.6 mil pa , thats about 88k pw.

Not bad then, thought it was way more since he signed on a free

I think we will see some ins and outs come the last week of the window. That's the best time to do it when clubs get desperate.

The January transfer window is almost dead at this point.

Noone wants to do business now. Wait til the last minute, even Chelsea with their transfer ban lifted aren't arsed.

If business will be done, it will be done after NU...Only a CB is a priority to get in.

What the... Emre Can certainly isn't fast or rapid,.

Hoping the links to both him and Vecino are jarg.

Well, he just about beats Cuco it seems

But seriously, he was once measured to being the 6th quickest player in the PL.....
I dont know how they measure these things, but it would at least put him in the upper-tier, no?

EDIT: THis is of course measured on ONE weekend, but seems he was clocked as one of the faster players at Liverpool as well.
Links here are just unsubstantiated reddit-posts, but the perception of him being slow seems wide off the mark.

Including a Manchester United loanee, two Liverpool stars and a Chelsea newboy in top spot

Rather us spend £23m on Everton Soares than £30m on Can

We already have Richarlison, Bernard and Iwobi who can play his position.

On the right we literally have Walcott and that’s it. So the Everton Soares rumour is a non-starter

DanB90 · January 19, 2020

We’ve witnessed nearly half a season with midfield options of Siggurdson, Sneiderlin, Delph and Davies getting the brunt of our minutes and people reckon Emre Can wouldn’t be good enough?

Not that we’ll be getting him like.

But isn't Soares right footed ?

billyblue80 · January 19, 2020

We need a midfielder on loan with an option to buy who that will be I don't know. It's not Can.

Bob Elstone · January 19, 2020

A scarecrow in the centre of the park is better than the useless dusters we have at the moment.

blue to the bone · January 19, 2020

Can on loan would not be the worst move . He will be pushing to make the German squad too. He would improve us at the moment and reassess in may.

We're going to be in disagreement on his ability given you think he does it all in midfield. Haven't a clue why you've assumed I want him to have records at 100m sprints, it's OK for people to have different opinions to yours regarding players without comments like that.

I hope we don't sign him, and I reckon we won't.

Fair enough, and many wouldn’t want him as an ex red but I’ve just seen a number of comments about him being a slow player and I don’t really get it.

Personally I think he’d be a good fit as he’s a powerhouse defensively and we only really have Gbamin who fits that description (who I doubt will be at his best until next season).
