January Transfer Thread 2020

[Bluestar]

He was deemed not good enough.
We sold him and included a sell on clause.
He has had mixed performances for US national team.
What we did is fine.
If we kept him he would not be getting sold for that fee as he would not have played for us.
Baines will be kept as backup for another season, a role he has done really well this year.

We spent £6m on Lewis Gibson who has not had a sniff and I don't know why people are upset about AC Milan signing Robinson for the same price. These Italian clubs seem to be signing more and more young players based in Scotland and England, seems to be a trend but it doesn't mean Robinson is going to be one of the world's best left-backs in two years.

Yes good point. The truth is that England (and to a degree Wales and Scotland) are currently producing a number of top draw young players. However a mixture of conservativism from clubs, the immediacy of results thats generated by the media, and the financial pressures of relegation means they don't get given much game time. For clubs in slightly slower, more technical, less pressured leagues, these players represent a wonderful opportunity.

I think it's also really good for the lads involved to go abroad. I think it will help the national team immeasurably in years to come.

That is the Luke Garbutt argument all over again.

But we probably did with Robinson what we should have done with Garbutt, which was move him on, for a decent fee and a good sell on %.

Lads can we stop going on about Robinson.

I’m trying to find out about unsubstantiated and made up incoming rumours so I can have my hopes dashed at 11 o’clock tonight.

If we spent £10m on Robinson people would be complaining. But as we haven't people are complaining we sold him instead.

Why are people getting upset a player that doesn’t even play for us is signing for a has-been Italian side.

Not upset, but delighted I’ve created some conversion in this soon to be deleted thread as we go with what we’ve got

That is the point I am making.
We could have given Robinson a new contract, which would have been expensive and then loaned him out or have him sitting on the bench … for the next four years.

Good News - I have a feeling we’ll see a late loan deal for a CM.

Bad News - Everton are doing the medical at Arrowe Park.

 

[firefighterblue]

Burnley dening any interest in niasse. Wonder why they aren't interested?

 

[mightymoyes]

[Rooney_Tunes]

Last day of the window and not even a sniff of a rumour...
