January Transfer Thread 2020

[Jayhow15]

Allan - central midfield - Napoli
Ferro - centre back - Benfica

Just the £100+ million then?

In January.

Right.

United better placed going for Cavani as I see it. Surely our priorities are further back?

We need bullets more than guns.

I mean its always a bit silly when somebody says they wouldnt be interested in a World-class goal scorer like Cavani, but when you sign players at 33 you always take a risk, yes, hes not 33 for 3 weeks, but im going with 33.

Allan is a monster of a player. 29 and would cost massive money though - can't see it.

I'm sure Carlo and Marcel have a couple of bargains lined up.

Read somewhere they turned down a 95m offer from PSG in the summer.

We wont be signing Allan.

I've changed my mind. Mr Usmanov, I would like one Allan please.

Guinness is automatically plural as there is no such thing as just one

Plural visits to the bog the next day.

Krzysztof Piątek ? the boy knows where the onion bag is

 

[Bluebonic]

...just looked it up and it is Guinnesses. Regardless, the plural of Guinness will always be Guinness to me.

Th collective noun is A ‘Squitz’ of Guinesses

Unfortunately we have a squad full of 'bargains' many of which we're trying to offload...

We don't really need a striker at this point but Milan signing Zlatan and benching him is bizarre and if he wanted out we should at least make an offer.

 

[windymiller]

Why English specifically?

Blue passports, innit

 

[Glasshalffull]

....suggest you have a few Guinness before bed and you’ll sleep fine.

Had 2, and 3 John Smiths. (Smiths'? Smiths's?) Oh, God, here we go again!

 

[Glasshalffull]

Gopping list that.

'Gopping'. Cracking word!

We don’t need a striker right now, but you’d assume if we plan on playing 4-4-2 for the foreseeable, one will be on the cards at some point. 3 strikers for 2 positions should do us fine till the end of the season with only the one competition. But after that, an injury to any of our forwards and we’re looking threadbare.

This is all assuming Tosun is booted into touch at the end of the season.

My solution to that problem would be to look for a youngish player who can compete with Kean for minutes or an older, cheap player who is ok with going a couple months without starting a game.

No reason to turn down chances to sign good players at any position, so if someone like Piatek or Jovic is really available we should do it, but I'd focus resources elsewhere for the next couple of windows.
