January Transfer Window 2023

[Legend Barry Horne]

???

For example, to say Ellis Simms was 'useless' at football - this was a joke in this case, but it's the sort of thing that gets said about players on here

But, taking this as an example, that would be such an extreme comment

They guy is a dedicated professional footballer, playing towards the top end of the game, who has scored a few goals in the Championship this season, showing some qualities as a striker. Whether he can replicate that at the highest level in the prem remains to be seen, but this is in the context of someone playing at the very pinnacle of football and the fine margins you then get at this level

Whether he closes that gap remains to be seen, but to call him 'useless' would be extreme and have no real basis

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Honestly, I'd rather we didn't lumber ourselves with pricey no marks at this stage (see Dele Alli). I've resigned myself to relegation, we might as well cut our cloth at this point.

Trust me, im not trying to sound OTT but I think we will stay up

 

[Geoff McNulty]

Less than FIVE hours before the window closes........

 

[wabisabi]

Now, you might want to sit down but, I think there’ll be one or two in. Unfortunately, like I said, average plsyets on huge wage/fee out of desperation

I'd rather remain standing thanks.

 

[Cjplennon]

I'd rather we got no one than panic buy some drab signings

Spot on! January is always tough, and in our situation almost impossible. Heres hoping though we can pull 1 good player out of the bag...

 

[Kylito]

The night is still young.

We haven't even had the trademarked last minute link to a big name player that coincidentally always fails to materialise yet.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Surely Dyche would have known for a while now there was a really good chance he'd get this job did he not have a few names ready to go? Whats the point waiting to sack the manager til the last week of the transfer window when theres no time to do anything meaningful, oh i just dont know anymore

Mate, he’s a crap manager, he was never getting another PL job, only us stupid enough to get him

 

[Muggins]

That would really be an amazing bit of fun if they let us all melt down and then release of video with three boss signings at 11:59.

One can dream right?

It’s a dangerous game they are playing if so.

Just over 4 and a half hours to go mate. I’ll hold on to hope and dream too, as this time the bored must know they are finished if they can’t produce. I don’t think anyone will defend them.

Kamaldeen Sulemana. Fastest player at the world cup. He chose Southampton over us.

Mmmm.. might he have come here if Bielsa had come in? Certainly would have been a fit for Bielsaball.

Hey ho.

Cannot blame Dyche for players not being keen to come here.

Simple as that. Completely unfair.

 

[Mademan]

Surprised other clubs aren’t trying to capitalise on the chaos by trying to get Onana or Pickford. Night is young I suppose

 

[Mark barnett]

so we lose a player to.sign nobody and we have brought in Dyche (because we expect relegation) to get us promoted with our current team minus Pickford and Onana and probably Iwobi next season.

 

[Tilling]

Fingers crossed; wouldn't be the first player Mourinho has frozen out and gone on to be good, he's a real talent

 

[matty1878]

Spot on! January is always tough, and in our situation almost impossible. Heres hoping though we can pull 1 good player out of the bag...

you don’t want a player that could help when we’re weaker in the squad?

ffs

 

[Kev The Rat]

I would encourage all fans to put in as much investment into supporting the club as the club has into strengthening the team this window.

Shocker
