January Transfer Window 2023

[ZissouBlue]

If Pickford is going to be this seasons cash cow to fund players, then he should absolutely not be sold until the summer. Get players in now and balance the books at the end of the season like we did last season.

Yeah absolutely not in January, symbolically we’d just be waving the white flag regardless of the result in who replaces him.

I don’t really understand the situation with Pickford, for six months the talk has been he’s close to renewing a contract that would take off the pressure to sell, yet nothing was signed. Was it the club or the player stalling?

There’s a rumor that he wants to stay and is ready to sign, but that the wages he is looking for would go beyond our payroll cap, hence the ball falling in the club's hands. With us being in the position that we are (non-competitive) I can see the sense in offloading over the summer to reinvest in forwards.

We will be going with what we have. As long as the medics can keep the core fit we should be OK for a top 10 finish.

We need experienced forwards in the door

This is not the time for potential, this is the time for seasoned professionals for a relegation battle

It's always the time for potential. Experience is how you run out crap every week.

Is this satire or a real post?

I sometimes wonder what it’s like to support a different club, logging on to their team’s forum on a work break to check their transfer thread for any updates, and actually read about progress being done, a signing on the verge of being completed, or god forbid seeing a new player thread.

Hope springs eternal.

Me and my son tried that mate a few years ago, fancied a change.

So we put all the PL and football league clubs in a hat and picked 1 out...

We got Bury

I remember the day I logged on here and seen the talks that we were signing Lukaku permanently.

Fast forward to today and the main talking points are we’re apparently selling Jordan Pickford to Spurs and Man U are signing Wout Weghorst.

“Nothing will be the same.”

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

I’m not sure he is and I think they are fairly equal on mistakes leading to goals over the last few years. (Both being too or close to top of the table for it)

The issue Pickford has and the reason they will get on his back, is because he makes himself high profile with them, and gets suckered in to trying to wind fans up like vs Newcastle and Liverpool and it backfiring. They won’t like his character as it can come across quite cocky.

I see the same happening

 

[Pat Butcher]

yes him and Maupay and we certainly go down

Pukki has good movement and is a good finisher, Maupay was brought in as a wind up merchant

….I actually don’t mind if my internet goes down again.

good idea actually, sign a medic - that will get around FFP

Oh it is very real. Too many sick days have been our achiles heal for too long.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Anyone said we could get Bale out of retirement and stick him up top yet?

Erm. No.
