January Transfer Window 2023

[Glasshalffull]

He's just got injured. Out for a few weeks at least.

Just our kind of player. Get him bought!!!

So……. Pickford ….. how much do we want for him ?

About £70m.

We'll get about £30m.

Apart from Haaland, I've yet to see a football anywhere close to father's level. They're always hyped up in their teens due to the famous dad but pretty much always end up massive flops and go in the abyss. Jordi Cruff, Justin Kluivert, Alex Bruce are a few that spring to mind

 

[MisterJ]

Frank Lampard is one

And Jamie Redknapp

It doesn’t ring right with me that we had money available for the transfers only go and spend 1.5m in total

People get suckered into this every single window.

Club leaks links with quality pricy players. Deal “collapses”. Strangely the club never seem to spend the money elsewhere.

It’s the same as the “just need to get these players off the wage bill” cycle that people love.

The biggest frustration is the fixture this weekend. Southampton will beat this current team. We was desperate for new players before this fixture, its a must win.

I’d rather they just come out and tell us that there’s no money and won’t be any signings at this point. As if the absolute cowards will do that though, club is terrified of the fans.

They'll just put in daft bids for players that would never come here and when they know they will also be outbid tenfold by other clubs. They can then claim that they tried to get players in but FFP means that other clubs can outspend them.

Alex Bruce? Made a career of getting his dad to sign him. Would have been a non league player without dad.
Tom ince was the hyped one - looked the real deal when he came on to the scene. Probably a lack of hunger and drive from having a nice middle class upbringing.
Kasper schmichle and wright-Phillips had good careers without surpassing the fathers… prob earned more too

 

[DL100]

If we lose against S'ton it will go off.

When we lose. We cant score goals.

This game has 2-0 written all over it, goals from Adams and Ward Prowse. Maybe Walcott gets a 3rd in injury time.

Wouldn't give Lampard a penny to spend, he would waste it anyway

If we do support Lampard, we should support our players to play their best to win this match! It is not easy but I dont think we cant. It is down on our fighting spirits. Recruiting a new player is not easy especially we dont have that budget and need multiple players.

I tend to agree. the mcneil and maupay deals were very very strange. I cannot understand how he ok'd them or worse if he was actively seeking those two. both made zero sense.

going into a season with no fit striker was a clear sign of the decision making of this board. negligence. complete stupidity and a collossal amount of arrogance.
lampard should have used last season as a public dressing down to the board to bring in quality. fans would have backed him against the board. he didn't have the courage and looks another broken manager.

 

[john jako]

Be great to get a proper number 10 or creative centre mid.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

My two penneth worth for what its worth. I think we have a modest budget to get players in which would be swelled by player sales.

So we either spend the modest budget we have on a certain type of player or get some out to increase the pot to be able to get better players in.

The problem is no one really wants our players for meaningful amounts so we're stuck.

If that is the case we need to accept the offers even if it means a pittance as we need players now we can't afford to lose more games.

Michael Owen was better than his dad who played for Everton.
I’m guessing there are loads but because the fathers were not world beaters most people won’t even know they had parents who even played.
