January Transfer Thread 2020

[Professor Toffee]

I was of the same opinion. Hoping for a crafty incoming loan or loan to buy. There's still time...

Id say it'll be a kettle and a dish washer on a loan to buy

How much did we get from Paderborn for Antony Evans?

I assume not very much at all

Remember when United went out and improved their squad in January by paying Alexis Sanchez 400k a week?

Let’s not sign any players because we’ve made past mistakes.

Revolutionary way forward!

Just don't jump straight in and sign whoever is available. Get the right player or wait until the right player is available.

Sat on his hands cause of the leeches Walsh, Koeman and Allardyce (even Martinez) brought to the club who we can't flog. We've got to stick within FFP, his hands are tied.

Also questionable to suggest losing Eriksen and bringing in Bergwijn is an improvement.

Spurs business is not something we should envy

This is hindsight though.
Sanchez was boss for Arsenal.

The only thing impressive about Jack bloody Grealish are his calfs

When Villa go down no way he signs for us; have to get him now I think.

He’s not going to leave them now tho , villa fan , chance to win a pot with his boyhood club , just got them back in the prem and he won’t walk in the middle of a relegation battle and they won’t sell him

It was obvious though with players like Suarez that he could be brilliant in another league

The same must be true today about certain players... but who ?

They are impressive.

He must get kicked the most in the league as well.

I thought it was a general transfer thread. My mistake. Is there one?

Still funny though.

People get a bit ratty on here as the end of the window approaches... as the opening of the window approaches... and when the window is shut... apart from that they are fine... apart from during the rest of the window... obviously.

Are you saying that’s what Man Utd have done now? A bit presumptuous, ain’t it?

Please don’t let that get in the way of a good meltdown.

How much have you watched him this year? I'm just curious because I think a lot of people are remembering his last PL spell and he's not that player anymore.

Martinez bought rubbish but in the main it was at low cost and low wages. It was more than made up for with the sale of Lukaku as well.

Koeman has lumbered us with players on massive long contracts and sky high wages. Klaasen Bolasie Schneiderlin Siggurdson Keane. Allardyce completed the job with Tosun and Walcott.

We can’t shift any of these players now (Klaasen aside) and we’ll suffer massive losses on all of them. In retrospect we didn’t have much of a problem moving on Martinez’s flood with even the likes of Mori Cleverley McCarthy etc. finding clubs because they were low wage and low value.

A certain Mr Walsh also gave him a helping hand! That "regime" and its transfer policy, if you can call it that (?), was a disaster!
