January transfer window 2024

[Victus]

If Dyche and Thelwell want him, I'm happily willing to give the lad a chance. Simple as that really. I imagine a lot of us turned our noses up at McNeil and Tarks when they signed but both have been genuinely very good for us.

 

[Nymzee]

He's a bit snidey. We need midfield cover that's for certain.

 

[EFCPaul]

Shows what a history nerd I am that when I hear or read Hannibal I firstly think of that general whom crossed the Alps with elephants lol.

 

[twoblue]

Not seen enough of him to form an opinion, but our midfield standard is a pretty low bar, so it wouldn’t take much to get minutes here.

Not sure, what he is. Tigerish and busy, without being impactful.

Would take that all day, the truth is no one will pay that, and we will have a month of click bait headlines and he will be going nowhere.

Eu70m is enough. Not a world beater by any stretch. Not enough goals or assists. Doesn’t dominate midfield.

Looks pretty versatile and hard working

 

[blue to the bone]

Barca have bigger problems then us with their finances . They ain't paying us 70 million

 

[AndyHector]

Chose not to go to Afcon cos he wants to play for the mighty blues

Barcelona have warned Xavi not to expect new signings in January as it will be “very difficult” to bring in new players because of the club’s ongoing financial difficulties.

There have been reports that Xavi wants a new pivot in the winter because he’s not too impressed with Oriol Romeu.

Diario Sport are now reporting that Xavi has been told he’ll have to stick with what he’s got, unless there are departures.

The only possible arrival is Vitor Roque but the report suggests that is far from a given.

The Catalans will try again next week to make the deal happen but it’s far from certain the young Brazilian will be able to bring his move forward.

Barcelona are said to be keeping an eye on the market but know there’s absolutely no wiggle room as they are already over their salary limit.

Xavi has been without several key players due to injury over the last few weeks but has been able to welcome Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Pedri and Jules Kounde back.

Frenkie de Jong is also expected to return after the international break, and there’s no doubt Xavi certainly doesn’t lack for options in his squad.



It doesnt seem so.

Any link to a player and Barca over the pice of 50p is pure bollocks.

Probably sell the Sagrada Familia to fund it

Horrible Spanish Kopites

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Bit out the blue that Hannibal link.

Reckon he'll still have has heart set on Sevilla though like..

 

[Bebeto]

Everton looking to hijack a move is football speak for "hurry up and get a move on X buying club" we've never once actually hijacked a deal

Onana to west ham...but that's was thanks to lampard.

 

[Eggs]

….only 20 (21 in a few weeks) so he’s played a decent amount of competitive first team football for his age. Remember the likes of Onana and Patterson are 22.

Two things I notice are genuine pace and he’s a ball carrying midfielder who transitions defence to attack. I think Dyche likes ball carrying midfielders.

 

[MikeH72]

Is it safe to assume he hasn’t been called up for the AFCON then?

Be happy, it's a bit out of the Box thinking..could play on the wing or doucoure role
