Transfers January 2023 Transfer Thread. The Big One

Yes, you do wonder.

So this window (and this isn’t a criticism at all), we will have only spent the Danjuma and Porro loan fees which is around £10 million spread over how ever many months.

Absolute peanuts.

And if we know we’re buying Porro, why take on the additional loan cost?
There's no additional loan cost on Porro, the 45m is just broken down to loan fee + buy obligation.

Odd.

If you go to the ENIC out thread, you'd be told we have built a huge business capable of competing with the very top, OK the cult backed off that, but "close" to the top.

Yet here we are, 2 loans in, lots out.
 
It's extremely damning as to the state of our squad that pretty much every player we want rid of is just about a loan.

Out on loan
Rodon
GLC
Winks
Reguillon
TND
Doherty
Gil

Still yet to shift Moura, Sanchez, and need to move on Dier, Davies, Tanganga etc and upgrade.

I suspect in the coming 2-3 seasons our net spend will have to be quite high just because we don't really have any assets to let go. Even if we sold Kane in the summer, he's not going to command a mega-fee like he would have 2 years before.

Better get new owners then because the current lot have no intention of spending up to our £400 million FFP wiggle room.

Yeah it’s a real issue.

There’s a few issues one is finding takers for the deadwood. Then there’s the issue that teams in Europe have no money! Villarreal couldn’t even pay 15M for Lo celso. Hopefully Danjuma works out and we can do some sort of swap.

Tanguy is a tricky one. I think he’s doing ok at Napoli but they prob won’t buy him unless we have some clause they have to buy if they win the league or something.

Rodon and winks might have Uk buyers? Maybe Doherty too?

Gil will hopefully come back Conte seemed to start to trust him.

Massive nett spend and ENIC


I admire the optimism
