Silly Season January 2014

You might not, but your not in contention for a world cup place. The Roma striker and AC Milan midfielder who signed for west ham today didn't seem to mind, they want to play.

They'll be back in Italy in 16 games time; Heitinga is free to make his mind up on who wants to join.

If you have never heard of them, how would you know they are Boss?

Because if Martinez signs them they must be.

Confidence in Roberto and that is exactly what I have, he will do the right thing.

McGeady everyone pretty much expected, and Traore on loan. Dismal stuff.

Do you not think that we're going for Lukaku in the summer, hence the loan on Traore?
Chelsea going for bigger fish in the summer imo.

Nobody in world football has a 100% hit record.

No matte how well he does here, there'll still be more jason scotlands coming somewhere down the line.

I like the way people read cunning long term machiavellian tactics in to us acting broke and useless like we always do.

Johnny is probably the best option in central midfield should Barry get injured tbh. Might as well keep him now.

Roberto says so

there's no way delafeou is worth £30m atm, same to lukaku, that would be the max price of them buying potential. traore just went for £7m-£8m, so not sure if his fee can double within a couple of days. apologies if that wasn't the fee.

I think that's his buy-out. If we wanted to buy him we'd have to throw ridiculous sums at them and even then they might not be interested, so we might as well value him at an arbitrary £30m. And, if De Bruyne is worth £17m then Lukaku will be a fair bit more expensive.

Trying to guess how much Traore would cost..

He went to Kuban for 6m euro.
He joined Anzhi for about 18m euro.

So that's £19.8m. Bobby has said that he's moved for in excess of £30m and I can't imagine that he cost Cluj much as a 17 year old, so he will have gone to Monaco for at least £10.2m. Anzhi have been on a massive cost-cutting drive, selling Eto'o, Willian, Diarra, Samba and a few others in quick succession. With that being the case I'd imagine that they valued the striker on the low side.

I think it's been an alright transfer window so far to be honest.

We sold a useless striker for what could be over £7m, brought in a good winger for approximately 1/10th of his market value and signed by all accounts a good striker for the run in. Add one or two more to that and it's been a good window.

Would you say it was a good window if jelavic had gone on a free, Baines?

 

[davids]

Can we just sign someone boss who I've never heard of please thanks bobberino

With luck someone will buy Snr Martinez a copy of FIFA14 and he'll go into action

To be honest I was surprised we got anything over £2m-£3m for him, I was getting to the point where I just wanted his wages off the books.

But no, to be perfectly honest.
