January Transfer Window 2023

[steven]

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is being allowed to leave Chelsea in this window, according to rumours.... For me, him coupled with Gueye and Onana would be a decent midfield allowing Iwobi to be more creative further forward...

IF we could get him on loan.....

I think we need a new midfielder…who has an ability to score goals as well. I’d take loftus cheek or Gallagher.

I am hoping McNeil comes good, he certainly has it in him but he reminds me of Mcfadden who was also very inconsistent but had the talent.

He won’t never make it as a winger. He has no pace.

Simms is a big lad who can finish it's his languid mobility that might be the issue at this level I think it's a good idea to recall him but I also think we need better we must be able to utilise our two loan spots even if we are skint

 

[IrishBlue2022]

Yes, usually.

You see, most "new" members are either kopites or banned accounts making a return.

Now and again we get new people who add colour and vibrancy.

Stick around and we can find out which 1 you are.

"Colour and vibrancy" don't you mean lunacy.

We have never signed the right players in the right positions. I think we would all agree attackers/goalscorers is clearly what we need and we need it ASAP.

There are no rumours of anything imminent that I am aware of yet plenty of clubs have already deals announced. Considering we needed forwards in July, and this club's transfer record, I think its delusional to think we know what we are doing and have a plan

I repeatedly said all summer we were a shambles for not prioritising forwards. You called me negative..... a lot. But the proof is in the pudding.

We signed forwards though, they just ain’t scoring

They aren't goalscorers.

Mcneil isn't even a forward. He plays left midfield and went over 50 games without a goal.

You said we would replace RIcharlison.... we didn't.

I was not negative... I was realistic.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Your positivity is not based on facts or evidence though. You repeatedly say things will happen and they don't happen then you just call out all of us who are realists out for being negative.

No, they do happen, they just turn out not to be very good

You moan about not making signings… we do, that’s facts

Maupay is a forward - it didn’t work but we DID sign a forward

Nope I moaned that we did not make signings in the right positions and you know that. You can't just change the goalposts because you were wrong on our summer business.

You thought we had a great summer window and I repeatedly said we didn't. I don't like that I've been proved right but it was fairly obvious at the time. You got carried away just because we signed some players even though there was no strategy to our recruitment. You cannot avoid a relegation battle with this poor a front line.

How can a banned account make a return? makes no sense to me. As far as being accused of being a kopite, see pic. Maybe you're just paranoid.

He seems sound to me

I’ve seen nothing to warrant @davek sniffing gyf

 

[billyblue80]

Maupay is a forward - it didn’t work but we DID sign a forward

Looking at his heat map he's more of a striker who plays off a target man like Naismith did than a number nine, we bought the wrong profile of player

No! We DID sign forwards and wide players, they turned out not to be up to it BUT we DID sign them

I think we need an unproven punt from another league to come off. I can’t see how we are going to get out of this by bringing in proven mediocrity like Loftus-cheek or Elanga

 

[ToffeeTim]

No! We DID sign forwards and wide players, they turned out not to be up to it BUT we DID sign them

We signed 1 forward - Maupay who was not what we needed. We needed a new forward before we sold Richarlison and lost DCL. So that makes 3 we needed in total and we got one dud who didn't fit the set up of the team which is built for a no.9 target man.

I moaned all summer we needed goalscorers, and I don't think that's an argument. If you're saying I was happy with the summer business at the time, then there's no point continuing this conversation

We cannot stay up if we do not sign a goalscorer.
