Transfers January 2020 transfer thread

[hiatus]

I think you are probably right.
Hence why i think loan with option to buy will become the norm for a while.

Clubs are also starting to figure out that maybe they should stop buying 28 year olds and start buying 20 year olds. Even if that means the younger prospect cost twice as much as he used to, it's still less than half of a more proven (older) commodity.

Think Zaha (£60m) vs. Bergwjin (£25.4m + £1.7m)

How's this for some shithousery:

Haller likely to demand release clause in Hammers contract

If true and Haller has a release clause let's wait until half hour before the window closes, stump up, take their striker off of their hands, get our backup and indirectly play our part in sending them down never to return again. Shall I get a GoFundMe going to get the ball rolling on it?

Who's next for us I wonder?

I don't want him, dont rate him.
But for sheer shithousery, lets do it

A player I think we sold too quickly.

He could land an oil tanker on his chest - what a touch

Can’t believe we cocked this one up

 

[SchmoodSpur]

Classy gesture. Good luck to him

Farewell Chris. When you were on you were on.

But you clocked out 18 months ago.

 

[Totti]

Willian Jose I reckon.

If we didn't like the player enough to offer a permanent deal then it's better to not do a permanent deal. We have backup options.

I am not that upset we lose out on him, but I would be if it means we now go for Alcacer (who is too injury prone imo)

I gotta be honest, I've watched a bit of Milan this season, and from what I've seen he sucks.

The whole team sucks, which doesn't help, but still.

 

[Park Lane Mark Twain]

Willian Jose I reckon.

Would make sense now. Seems more of a hold up striker but it's a shame we couldn't get Piatek. Is £30m too much for a backup? Time will tell if this was a wise move on our part.

[Mariner]

 

[Nabil Bentaleb]

Cedric is shite. Hope he goes to Woolwich

 

[Cranston]

I work on emotions.

Like all true artists.

 

[FOK]

Alcacer being 5’8 doesn’t really fit the profile

 

[Tottenham Massive]

The sad thing about this is it seems we actually wanted the player. More importantly Jose wanted the player. Otherwise why pursue him.

Yet, for whatever reason, we've lost out to.......Hertha Berlin!

We didn’t ‘cock it up’.

We just didn’t want him on the terms offered. I think Levy is terrified of signing more driftwood. He wants genuine talent that we can easily move on, if necessary.

 

[bus-conductor]

KWP off. Good luck to him

Just don’t get this, unless we have another RB lined up. As we have now left ourselves with one RB ?
