January Transfer Window 2023

[navidson]

I assume you never saw him play.

I saw the 8 goals in 22 games he got us in one season

A record infinitely superior to anybody else we currently have at the club

If anything was happening, you'd think @Tofeenut would have confirmed there's a medical or 3 lined up.

The fact they haven't mentioned anything makes me think we literally have no one lined up at this moment in time.

Or he's got the weekend off...

At a guess,
Outs
2 first teamers will leave to make room on the wage bill and a couple of youngsters sold.
Ins
2 forwards like Antonio and Dembele for mid range fees and
1 winger, someone like Sulemana

 

[argietoffee]

I'd genuinely take Niasse back

Stracq will save us

 

[dutchblue54]

Read a vague link to Mateta of Palace

I also like moffi, prefer over Antonio , yes re Dembele and defo Sulemena

 

[stipsy_melbourne]

We also need a left back asap

Given that we wont buy one i would much prefer Godfrey played at LB

 

[John96]

I have visions of a late window raid for Pickford, and that money being unavailable to us this window.

COYB!

John.

I think Dembele would be a very good punt, he's reasonably fast, aggressive and knows where the net is. He's not played too much this season, but, he has let his club know that he won't sign a new deal, so, they have moved on. He did, however get a shed load of goals last season. We could play him alongside DCL if Dyche goes 442, he would also provide cover when DCL has his, inevitable, next injury.

For all the above reasons, plus the fact he is rumoured To be available for around 10 million Euros, we will of course show no interest in signing him.

It's not looking good brev

I’d take that at this stage but I think it’s more likely we only get one in if that with two days left of the window, I’m not sure we are capable of doing more than one deal at the same time

 

[Blue Parkender]

Would anyone take Doku from Rennes, doesn't get much playing time like Sulemanna . Has pace to burn and scores a few goals.

One of the best strikers we have had in years if you go by goals per minute.

 

[Zatara]

Did moffi move anywhere yet
Let's get him

I think it was a lot of things tbh. Frank was only a motivator in the system imo. I think the tactics/subs were coming from Clement/Edwards/Cole. Many of the issues we had as a team were extremely similar to the issues that Clements Derby team had ie it was all possession with no actual purpose to it, and you are holding onto the ball waiting for the other team to make a mistake so you can nip in and capitalise on it. I always had reservations about the backroom team Lampard brought with him and despite being a World Class player Ashley Cole I know can be an utter bell at times or the nicest guy you will ever meet, there is no in between with him. I was always skeptical as to whether it was going to work long term.

I certainly saw a lot of Clements input in the structure of the team, which it seems was suited only to elite players to be able to work efficiently. Lampard didn’t get his first choice from Chelsea or the set piece expert, it’s worth noting that Chelsea didn’t stand in the way of Joe Edwards leaving.
Ashley Cole, as divisive as he is, as defensive coach seemed the only input which had some sort of visible upshot, he’s also part of the England u21 setup so must have some ability I would have thought.
One thing is absolutely evident, there was absolutely zero attacking coaching going on to work the team into scoring situations in a game, that was the biggest embarrassment for me.
