Transfers January 2021 Transfer Thread

That Kyle Joseph guy from Wigan we've been linked with looks a very promising player. Just turned 19 and starting up top for them now in league one. Five goals and a number of assists in his last 6 starts. Quick enough and a strong build, one to keep an eye on.
 


This is promising
This is just what we need players who are able to win anything that goes into the box.

As long as he doesn't run around as a headless chicken. We need smart players that can read a game. We have too many stupid ones (Lucas, Sanchez, Winks?, Dier?, Aurier, Sissoko, Lo Celso?). For me it's a really important aspect when buying players. It doesnt matter how good they are technically if they can't read the game and know where they should be.

Agreed, but technical skills are also vital. Otherwise you can't execute the tactical plan either. Look a Sissoko, what good is Mourinho's vast tactical knowledge if he shits himself near the goal.

How the hell is Lo Celso included in that group when that is the exact opposite of how he plays?
 

Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar.

Tottenham held talks with the Serie A club over the Slovakian international in the summer transfer window, but could not bridge a gap of more than £10million between the two side's valuations of the player.

He has been starting every single Serie A match since returning from isolation in October and his value will have only gone up, with two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract. The player also shut down talk of a move during this window.
Wonder what the raw numbers were. Skriniar is definitely one of the few gettable CBs and see Madrid going after him if Ramos leaves.

The Tea Lady is now saying that we are are close to signing someone but we will lose a player as well!
eriksen in and dele out
 
The only kind of players that I see us bringing in this window would either be a quality CB or a DLP.

Anything else would likely wait till the summer when more players would be available, and we can also sell our garbage at better prices
