January Transfer Thread 2020

[Archie Knox]

There’s times where a club needs a particular type of player to transform their side, regardless of fee and age.

Liverpool had that with VVD and Suarez.
Man City had that with Aguero and Tevez.
Juve had that with Pirlo.

When looking at players like Allan, if he would transform us and cost £40m+, so be it. From what I’ve seen, he’s what we’re desperate for in midfield.

We need to find the right balance between long term resale value/potential, and immediate impact signings.

We definitely need another immediate impact signing in the ilk of Sigurdsson.

Joking aside, completely agree with your post!

Anyone translate?

Houssem #Aouar is on the start, direction Everton. A reinforcement that would have a cost: 3m €. (via La Croix)

Now we're talking

Any good?

Any good?

I certainly think so. A bit worried about how it's gone for Ndombele at Spurs after coming from the same Lyon team. But this is the kind of rumor that I like to see.

Feels awfully jarg though.

I’ve seen anything from £40m to £80m. All speculation at the moment anyway - my post is just about the general view that we should only buy 22 year olds

Think most of that stems from quotes made by Brands when he first arrived,now Ancelotti is here it may well have changed.

I find it dubious that is happening at all, since they quote 3 million as the price, which is absurd.

Never heard of him, but I feel like he’s exactly what we need.

Immediate improvement on Davies, Delph, Schneiderlin and Sigurdsson based on nothing at all other than that picture

Cost more to buy a trainee from Crewe.

He’s a midfielder as well?? Sign him up.

He was good on FIFA last year, sold

 

[Deco]

Aouar? Would be boss.

 

[TheBigIguana]

He was amazing on that game lol.

I think he's good in real life too though.

 

[DanB90]

How the frig do you pronounce his name??

It’s four vowels and a consonant?

That doesn’t even make a noise if I try!

Closest I’m getting is one of them mad tube things with a ball inside it and it makes a noise when you tip it up.
