January Transfer Thread 2020

The way everybody is talking like the window is already closed.

There are 31 hours left, we could sign 20 players in this timeframe.

More importantly we could sell 20 players in that timeframe.

I must say that I'm not bummed that we haven't got anyone in, but am disappointed that as yet we haven't managed to get anyone out permanently. Until we do, I fear that we will be very much hamstrung as to how many we can bring in. Would have loved to see a couple of outs to clear the deck for the beginning of the summer transfer window.

In all fairness we have some out-of-contracts in the summer anyway so no massive rush on those either way. Niasse & Martina being the main two.

I’d have taken a risk on him if the price was right. Scores for fun in the Championship and I believe he’s left footed too?

Yes, plays on the right...

Anyone else seen Mertens linked with a £5m move to Chelsea. Good player, older but £5m is not much of a gamble and would improve us instantly....

 

[OneTrueLegend]

I'm still hoping for a loan deal before the end of the window, it would give the fans and squad a bit of a lift I think, even if its just Niasse out on loan lol

Out of contract in June and for that fee he would be on crazy wages

Depends on the wages but £5m won't buy much these days, so could be a good deal for them, I can't see him picking us over Chelsea though, if we were in for him

Perhaps if you look at it club for club BUT Mertens is at CA former club Napoli....

On a much, much smaller budget as well, and without a 'superstar' Director of Football or fancy billionaire owner. Bloody the epitome of Everton, that that we are absolutely miles behind Leicester and twiddling our thumbs in mid-table while Champions League is well and truly open for clubs we should comfortably be ahead of. The only saving grace is that now, finally, we have three things in tandem that surely cannot fail us:

1. A rich owner with a vision for the club
2. A Director of Football with a clear strategy
3. An esteemed manager with a long-term plan (Koeman wasn't an esteemed manager, just a player with a rich history)

Best kin start getting better as patience has been lost a long time ago with this club.

I think you might want to become more acquainted with who owns Leicester and Wolves.

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

And. It was hardly difficult to recruit worse than we did pre-Brands, was it?

You just listed players you'd keep. It was pointed out the majority were Brands signings... now you claim that anybody could have done as well.

What exactly do you want from the man?

We haven't got 20 players that people would pay actual money for.

They definitely aren't fancy pants owners like our guy. Look at how often his name is mentioned when Everton is the discussion point. The same can't be said with the owners of those two. I think he's the right man to lead us forward though, just bad decisions in previous years have stunted our progress by a couple of seasons. As long as we benefit long term it will be ok.

 

[Real_madras]

I'm not too bothered if we sign players this window. Its not like we have a chance of getting into the top four. Save our money for the Summer when Carlo can build the team he wants. Hopefully some deadwood will go.

A scapegoat?

We haven’t got 5!
