January 2019 transfer thread

[Cranston]

So, looks like Solanke is off to Bournemouth for around £21 million. He's scored once.

Puts current transfer fees into perspective.

 

[Totti]

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

I've 'liked' this as the move has sounded like it's on for sometime and I'm glad they're not pussyfooting around. If the tradeoff of Dembele going this month (and we'll wish him well) is that we can then recruit in central midfield, I'm happy enough about it.

Edit: okay then...

Maybe Im delusional, but part of me thinks the reason we didn't spend this summer is because Levy new we wouldn't be in the stadium. So although yes, his past doesn't dictate making a big splash in the transfer market, I still have an inkling of hope he just might this summer. I doubt Eriksen holds my same view though...

I'm not saying it was intentional on levys part not buying but certainly think he was happy not to.

A bidding war!

A bidding war!

In all seriousness, what fee could we even get for Dembele right now?

 

[Totti]

£10,000,000 max, I reckon.

 

[Matecheck]

Who the fuck is Kevin Volland?

Leverkusen's fifth best attacking player.

 

[LeeMcl]

The shocking part is that he has been like tits on a bull. About £25m flushed down the toilet.

If we take Poch at his word then players are paid to train, safe to assume this means contribute to the team sprit and behind the scenes processes. If they do well enough then the players play.

If that’s correct then how do we know that Llorente has not contributed a huge amount on the training ground / around the squad. He always appears to be dedicated, reliable and decent enough. So I don’t think it’s a waste.

Slap in the face for the levy doesn't back his manager brigade, if true. Drops 100k per week on a reserve player that pochettino clearly wanted ( llorente said pochettino persuaded him to join us over the chavs in in a phone call)

So Bournemouth spent £68m in the last 18 months on Aké, Lerma and Solanke.

Another one?

 

[Totti]

I'd rather Trippier left than Aurier. Although both should be behind KWP rather soon.

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

£10,000,000 max, I reckon.

Not shabby at all considering his injuries and being free in the summer (correct?).

 

[SchmoodSpur]

Doucoure would be fantastic.

PSG want him to replace Rabiot though I think.

 

[Colonel_K]

£10,000,000 max, I reckon.

Not bad considering how broken Dembele has become.

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

Quiet January then...

If we actually got N'Dombele in, I think the erection wouldn't go down until April.

Definitely get more money for trippier aswell
