January Transfer Thread 2020

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Didn’t Shane Long go for about 14m about 5 seasons ago. Think that’s quite cheap for an established PL player these days?

With today's inflation for transfer fees 20 Million for a 1 in 3 striker in the Premier League is basically standard

 

[TheBigIguana]

With Walcott's injury record he's needed to fill out the squad.

Having him sit around and not play just in case is not how you develop players. We're not winning anything this year. Europe is unlikely. Either he plays consistently or you loan him out and figure it out if injuries happen.

 

[Lanolin]

A player with 3 years on his contract will command a higher fee than a player with one year on his contract
See Eriksen for example

Yep. I still understand how it works.

I would 100% take King for £20 million as decent cover / rotation.

Twice the player the likes of Tosun is and suits the 2 up top.

When Joelinton is going for £40 million for me thats a fair price.

 

[Togger Blue]

Players and coaches won’t be doing the trannies though

Correct - this is one of @Bungle 's specialities!

We'd breach FFP

Players need to go out before we can bring more in sadly

Of course you would.

Me I would prefer to give Kean the minutes.

Why would we be comparing our signings to Tosun, a player we desperately want rid of because he's not good enough?

Is King better than DCL or Richarlison? Does he have a higher ceiling than Kean? Since the answers are no, that's a pointless signing.

Sending them out on loan to play under Neil Lennon is definitely not how you develop players so I'm fine with it.

Well other than Bruno at United, even tho his price is a little high, ive not seen anybody do anything im jealous of yet.

MAN UTD'S KING INTEREST COOLS
Manchester United's interest in Bournemouth striker Joshua King has cooled, as they look for options elsewhere.

Offer them Niasse for a bag of chips, somebody ask them what flavour they want.
