January Transfer Thread 2020

[Nymzee]

I think there are two ways of looking at it, as a player and as an asset.

The player piece is subjective, some rate him others say he would never have cut it - that is subjective. you can make an argument either way.

As an asset he gone from 1.9 mill to 6-10 mill, in six months, in any walk of life in any job if you decrease your exposure to that asset and it jumps in value that much - its poor judgement.

5million in football is about the same as 50p to us lot.

 

[Neiler]

Why? He’s crap?

It makes it better buisines getting 6-10 million for a crap player then a 1.9 mill.

Fair play Wigan.

But the asset wouldnt have jumped that high if he stayed here, what part of that arent you getting?

Rreud would call that rationalization. still a defense mechanism mind.

 

[Connor]

Really surprised we haven’t moved during this window. 3 senior central defenders for the rest of the season it is then...

Don't think we should be surprised really.

January is an awful window to operate in and after the clubs accounts, it all but sealed that movement was going to be kept to a minimum.

Freud would call that stop being arsed about 5 million quid.

 

[Blue Juice]

Be a bit weird if we don't get a midfielder in at least on loan consisting they've already known Gbamin is out for what is probably the season and Gomes is coming back from nearly losing his foot.

But with us he didn't have that value because of his contract running down.

 

[Neiler]

If we arent arsed about 5 mill why sell him for 1.9.

 

[Nymzee]

If we arent arsed about 5 mill why sell him for 1.9.

Because he's crap and at the time we decided to sell wasn't worth a world-shattering £6m quid. He also would never have been worth £6m here because he'd not have played.

Yeah I understand that, but we have 3 centre backs for the rest of the season. Don’t see why we couldn’t have got a loan in

 

[ToffeeTim]

We've actually made the sensible decision not to sign rubbish for the sake of it.

I'm actually really shocked. And relieved.

Let Carlo see who wants to stay. Let Carlo decide who gets to stay. Let Carlo decide who has to leave. Then back him huge in the summer.

We need to see real quality additions and Brands must deliver.

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

Cos nobody the club like the look of is available for loan, presumably.

 

[Connor]

No one good being available for loan probably answers that

 

[Nymzee]

You know how I know there weren't any good centre backs to loan in? Leicester, looking for a back-up defender, are signing Ryan Bennett...
