January Transfer Thread 2020

[Goat]

1 team is spending £20m on a player with 6 months left on his current contract instead of waiting till summer while the other got rejected by the player after having a £35-45m bid accepted by his club

Who are West Ham signing?

Who are West Ham signing?

Bowen apparently for £20m when he’s free in the summer

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

Man Utd are monitoring him aren’t they

In any event Rochdale would demand 30 mil which is the going rate for a young English player these days

 

[Neiler]

You ought to bottle up that 20:20 hindsight and sell it, you'd make a fortune. By the way, what were last week's lottery numbers, i bet you could tell me those too.

He wasn't cutting it at Everton, he was refusing to sign a new contract, so we sold him. If that is a problem, suggest you re-evaluate your definition of a problem.

What a dumb post.

If hes any good we can just pick him up in the Summer when they go down.

 

[Goat]

What a dumb poster I am

 

[Neiler]

That is the Luke Garbutt argument all over again.

And hes still on the books.

 

[Dixieslaces]

Bedwetters. Everywhere.

Chill guys, this isn't the time for Carlo to even consider his rebuild plan. yes we need to offload a few but as far as signings we should and we will wait.

He wasn't mate, Hull had further 12 month extension build into his current deal.

 

[blulouie]

Well Don Carlo says no one coming in.

Saves wearing out the refresh button .

So cheer up Brexit kicks in just as the Transfer Window "slams shut"

 

[Lanolin]

Bowen apparently for £20m when he’s free in the summer

I don't think he was free in the summer. I read the other day that he had an extension clause in his contract that Hull could activate for a further year.

 

[Ring master]

Yep,which Hull would defo have excuted

 

[billyblue80]

Gbamin out again really surprised we are doing nothing but then we only have the league. And a preponderance of crap midfielders to choose from.

 

[Neiler]

Do we want Robinson, after all we could easily outbid AC Milan and we do have a sell on clause, so we would only be paying 80% of the price ?

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.

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