January Transfer Window 2023

Love to see us go for Schjelderup. Been linked with Benfica for about 12m. Would certainly add that attacking threat we've been missing
 

Should have had somebody ready to start training this morning.

Absolutely disgraceful, in our situation, that we haven't even lined up anybody.
Sigh…

it doesn’t work like that. We are a team in a relegation scrap and constrained financially. I am sure there are plenty teams lining up to sell us their PL ready saviours for a pittance.

The business will probably get done at the end of the window because of our current status. That’s the reality of our situation.
 
With Simms back in the squad, I have a sinking feeling that another goal scorer isn’t in the cards. Sink or swim with what we’ve got.
It’s hard to know what logic is at play here.

If we say we need a wide forward and a striker, I think it’s fair to say we probably don’t have the funds to get a quality player for each of those positions.

Maybe Simms coming back means we’re going to go all-in on the wide forward.

Or maybe not. Maybe he’s just a nice-to-have extra option that we may as well have at our disposal, given he’s already our player.

Simms has at least shown an ability to put the ball in the net, and whether he’s viewed by Everton as the answer, or simply an additional answer, we don’t yet know.

But I’m very much of the opinion that it’s not a bad move to bring him back.

Utter rubbish that

The club know what their financial situation and as such should have players lined up that within that situation.

We failed to score or create last year, Thelwell failed to address that in the summer and has now been in place just shy of a year

The fact that he hasn’t had someone lined up for the start of January is criminal and he should be held accountable.

Waiting till the end of the month is possibly 4 games that could be lost due to our issue with lack of firepower.

But sound if people want to sit there enjoy the little pat on the head every couple of days.
 
Odegaard only cost Arsenal £34m.

McNeil and Maupay £35m.

We need to make sure we sign quality instead of quantity.
All well and good saying that but you've got to have the ability to attract that sort of player. Do you think Odegaard would have come to us???

This isn’t Football Manager, it’s the real world. Nobody is compelled to accept our offers. I suspect the reality is that we have to sell first before we can buy.
