January 2020 transfer thread

I bet he does -

Sissoko may not be the most technically gifted, but he always puts a shift in and has had some really good games for us.

Cannnot disagree with that at all.

But there were better players out there we could have bought if we needed a player to instantly play for the first team - at the time £30m was our highest transfer fee paid (with Lamela) so a very decent sum of money.

Or if we were looking to build the squad long term we might have bought Grealish, Maddison, and Brooks for the same amount of money (total £30m) and developed them

My basic point was not having a go at Sissoko but that we have not used the money wisely is building the squad (which is an art in itself - Liverpool have mastered that over the last 5 years ironically using a team of DoF and Head of Analytics hired from Spurs, whereas our current squad is testament to the fact we lost our way)

No, not all.

You asked for one team at any level who don't have two senior strikers.

I didn't even have to think about it.......there are probably others, even in the PL.

Edit: Villa have only Wesley. There will be others.

United is a perfectly serviceable answer..... The only diff is that their manager(s) play their 'Parrot'.

Whats an informal bid?

"Jokin mate. How about a loaner?"

Our team is taking shape..

I'll call Barton.

[scott]

so will anyone even try and defend the club if we do not sign a striker in the next 10 days ?

Plenty will. January's a bad time to sign players. Leeds ring a bell? Glory supporter for wanting a recognised striker to start matches!

 

[Nabil Bentaleb]

Don’t give me hope about cavani

 

[Cranston]

I bet he does -

Will never happen but all part of the fun.

That would be a proper Billy Big Bollocks signing.

Don’t give me hope about cavani

.........Cavani
Son....Alli....Bale

Shame its not 2016

This is my favourite part of the window. It’s when the anger takes over.

We’ve had hope, fear, confusion. Even sexual panic.

But now we get to do what we do best.

Cunt time.

Multis - assemble!

I sense a letter via Instagram on deadline day telling us how close he was to coming

 

[OldBoy68]

A bid made while wearing pyjama and slippers

"I'm thinking loans man..."

I started to get angry about 3 days ago.

I'm now in the bargaining phase. Would take Ze Luis.

All set for depression 1st Feb.

Crowland Town.

Peterborough & District Football League Division One

Their top. Without a striker. Barca of the P&D!

 

[ILSpur]

The Amazon behind-the-scenes of this period is either going to be fascinating or terribly embarrassing. I'm going with the latter.

What’s Berbatov up to these days?

What’s Berbatov up to these days?

Selling his own brand of clothes

 

[OldBoy68]

I’m at the point where ‘striker’ doesn’t even look like a word anymore

If you squint really hard you can see "player" although it's equally laughable.

What’s Berbatov up to these days?

Stealing food by all accounts.
