January Transfer Window 2023

[JLW]

We are down, this is going exactly how I thought it would.

Sack Lampard
No replacement lined up

If they were adamant Lampard was to be sacked after West Ham, it should be done Saturday evening, Sunday a new manager confirmed and they start Monday.

Thay shows in no uncertain terms that people are in control of the situation and no let up for the squad.

Instead...

We hear players given the Monday off
Onana allowed to go for a short break
Gordon not training
No manager
Signing jogged on without signing

???

Amazon have missed a belter here this season

 

[MikeH72]

Keep the faith.

Erm, no.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

£50m, minus 20%

Great, £7m profit

Yeah, taking into account the sell on 50m doesn't cut it, not even close.

To even think about it we'd probably want 20-25m profit AFTER the sell on is paid, then sink that into two more players of similar age / talent profile, rinse repeat.

As much as it stinks to be a stepping stone that would be the sort of player flipping business we need to be doing to sort our finances.

Be the same as Richarlison. Made about £2 profit on him after spending a huge outlay on raw potential.

Only worth spending big when your turning over big profits like Lukaku

 

[Hogwild]

So.
Gordon
Onana - if the latest is true
Kean
Holgate

All sold - 100m would be decent

Yeah, but why would anyone trust these loonies to reinvest it....?

Who knows what sort of idiocy we would see if they try to buy several players in a week.

 

[Bebeto]

This is just fake. This is a person making stuff up. We paid 35m for him. There is no way we accepting 50m. It’s completely fake made up nonsense. People need to stop sharing and believing it.

Somebody must be feeding information to the media with an agenda...and they are damaging the club even further that I thought it was possible.

 

[gazzaa2]

I won’t be surprised if Gordon is off, however I feel that Onana will stay. The lack of signings is perhaps due to waiting on guarantees of cash.

We need money and to know who the manager is going to be before we bring players in. You don't recruit the same player for Dyche as you would Bielsa. It's no way to plan anything.

 

[mahermi1]

Looks like we could be the opposite of stronger when the windows shuts

It's not just that though is it, all the club's around us have got stronger, how we are even contemplating making ourselves weaker is beyond parody. We will no doubt, have another quick review and scrape up the players no one else wants, similar to Maupay and McNeill...

 

[Melchizedek]

…Onana would be a massive loss. He’s a talent we can’t afford to lose.

Selling off the family silverware again.

Said the same in another thread. Could you imagine if they’d been filming this - would have made Sunderland look a competent well run club! Amazon must be kicking themselves!

 

[Hogwild]

£50m, minus 20%

Great, £7m profit

Hopefully the sell on is only value over purchase.

Mate this is an evil team and he still can’t get in it.

I know but selling our bench is also not wise when there are 7 days left of the window. What happened to only sell if we get a replacement in...
