January Transfer Window 2023

[BlueToff]

Avoid avoid avoid.

I mean he'd instantly be our best attacker.

He doesn't have an attitude problem despite what some like to say. He's a very, very talented player who United have completely mishandled by signing Ronaldo.

Whether we'd be right to try and rekindle that talent - well that's the risk, but he's a very good player. Does suit a team where space is afforded to him more, that has to be said.

 

[BlueToff]

We need to go against the norm then. We are desperate.

Thing is we don't want to go and get anyone - I get that. But we had targets in the summer and there's no reason not to have gone all out to make sure those targets came here in Jan.

 

[Simon Buttle]

Hope they sack him, be massively idiotic and they could go down.

Moyes is doing himself no favours whatsoever though, if he does get the sack then he can only look at himself. They spent a fortune in the summer and strengthened across the team, he has given Rice a license to basically do what he wants and it's killing the rest of the team. Davie being the stubborn old mule he is simply wont change formation and he has been found out massively in the PL this season because of it, and he seems to be short of any answers at the moment.

I'm a big advocate of loan deals and hope we get some but the downside of them is they tend to be left late in the window. That will probably be the case for us. Everyone tends to wait and see and hope for a better deal.

People really love to slate Lampard (fairly so at times like) but Moyes has massively underachieved with that squad this year.

That being said, he'll find a way to correct their form. There were plenty of seasons with us where we had dreadful first half of the seasons and then came back strong and finished 7/8th. Not saying they'll finish that high this year, but it's not that hard if a run gets put together.

 

[Bob Latchford]

No amount of Glue could make them think we have a sniff of a chance with Mudryk...

Cheers as always Bob

Agree mate & No problem at all.

Watched him v Celtic in the champions league and seen a few other bits and pieces and he looks very good - Ie. Not an option for us as he would also cost money.

Moyes is still aiming for Europe!! I'm not sure he will get a chance tbh, the knives are out for him down here, not because fans don't like him (Many say he has been their best manager in the past 20 years) it's more to do with the fact they just don't see how he is going to turn it around due to how stubborn he is in games.

Totally agree. The point was that it would be the exception, which we aren’t known for.

 

[Harryflashman]

Moyes will get a tune out of Keane imo.

And we’ll have lads on here creating “should we recall Keane?” Threads.

He’ll probably play him deeper where ancelotti did , do a similar job to Craig Dawson and loads will be saying “we could do with that Keane back here “ .

If Dan Burn costed £13m, we have to ask at least £15m for Keane.

 

[maccavennie]

I didn't just want 1 player today, I wanted 3 signed up and ready to be put in the squad for Brighton.

We are not in a normal situation where we csn wait. They done this at the start of the season and chucked 5 games from the off. Do that again in January and theres no way we'll recover.

it's gross negligence on an epic scale, they shouldn't be afforded an inch of patience from any supporter as they haven't earned the right to be given patience.

He will go back to basics their mate guaranteed and pick up results, hopefully he’s sacked before that.

Think he’s old school and the spoiled modern players don’t like his old school approach or it gets old, happened at Utd and seems to happening down in the perfect quiff sauf.

There’s always an element of risk when going for players whos form have gone off the boil. We tried it last year with dele and it never worked out, but it was a risk worth taking for a club in our position.

Moyes used to do it quite well, take players whos careers have gone stale and get them going again. If Lampard could do it with sancho it would help us massively given our limited attacking options.

or you could look at his full season with Rooney, where it seems that he gave Rooney a lot of freedom to keep him happy and we finished 17th.
Maybe the same thing happening with Rice? (I get that he's a bit older)

The board really shouldn’t but they will because too many of the fan base have drunk their Kool Aid and won’t have a word said against them
