Transfers January Transfer Thread 2024

[Deuterz]

BTW - for any of you ready to wet your pants again, the loan deal with Spence is not tied to the signing of Dragusin.

Separate deals just being discussed at the same time.

I hear that the Spence deal is tied to the Dragusin deal, my sources say one doesn’t happen without the other.

(I’ll stop now).

 

[MVP]

No we don't.

Romero
VDV
Dragusin
Davies
Royal

No we want better cover than Davies and Royal, especially if we're playing in Europe.

 

[Richard Arlison]

He's a cunt because he's a lazy prick who doesn't show up to work on time.

Having doubts over a move because he's probably too fucking lazy to get to an airport and would rather train with u21s makes him more of a cunt.

`You have no idea why he's having doubts.

 

[PointToPatrik]

Italians probably not that hot on punctuality anyway.

The university that I work at are partnered with a university in Turin. They are constantly late with everything whenever we have to work together with projects or exchange students and the like.

Every single time.

Agree. We'll go get a better one in the summer.

You need to have a word with young Djed

 

[Airfixx]

If they will sell their current captain to their biggest rival for 30m then sure it might happen.

But they won't and in reality he's not that great that we will wait for him. That Wharton kid looked better than him anyway in the Carabao Cup.

It's like Barkley all over again.... Gallagher is a player easily moved on from......

'Energetic, un-exceptional midfielder' is a 2-a-penny thing in football.

 

[To Dare Is To Do.]

The point of the list wasn't about who is or isn't first XI; it's a squad assessment.

If we sign (eg) sell Gil and then sign a winger who pushes one of the starters down the pecking order then all the better.

If we make Werner perm; then he can equate to a Gil replacement; otherwise Gil would be a player that still needs replacement.

I already noted Rich. I highly doubt the other two will move (I wouldn't want them too either).

Click to shrink...

Front line def still a question for me too. If we need 6 attackers to rotate and provide options:

Son
Johnson
Kulu (is he a 10 now?)
Richy
Solomon

?Werner if we take the option



So, we need to decide on Richy staying/going or being replaced and Werner being permanent or not. Then whether Deki becomes more part of the CM rotation or not.

Personally, I think only one of Richy and Werner is likely to win themselves a spot in the rotation for the future and the other needs to be replaced with a star quality forward.

For next season-

ATTACK:
Keep 2 and sell/ let go 2, out of these 4: Werner, Richarlison, Solomon, Gil
Loan: Veliz
Buy 2: a CF and LW

MIDFIELD:
Sell Højbjerg; keep the rest. No need to buy imo as I rate Maddison/Bentancur/Sarr/Biss/GLC +Kulu if needed. Skipp isn't great but HG so can stay as squad player.

DEFENCE:
Buy: 1 CB
Sell: Sessegnon

GK:
Buy: 1 back-up keeper

Do it this window, less to do in the summer and we don't have to worry what happens if VDV and Romero are injured or suspended.

Will that count for Europe as well as PL? And would he be 'club trained' for Europe purposes?

Not sure about that.... Whoever leaves needs to be replaced. Lots of games again next season.

Who will you replace him with and how much do you expect to have to spend?
Are you happy we will have one less squad player for Europe?

No thanks. You've had enough transfers for one month.

You'll wait until the summer and you'll like it.

Yours,

Kelly I think.

Dragusin, Romero, VDV and Kelly who can cover LB seems a good set of options for the way Ange wants to play and at a certain intensity.

Click to shrink...

Is Kelly any better than Ben as LCB cover?

 

[FOK]

I could really do with Dragusin deal going on abohh th re 48 hours….

Solomon just got here so I doubt we move him on that fast... I'd be tempted if we could. Gil is done here. Agree on the Veliz and likely Scarlett loans. If Solomon can't be moved then we only keep one of Richy/Werner.

I'm ok with GLC sticking around but if we do sell him then he needs replacing. Skipp can stick around but we need to upgrade on him. I think they might even bring his replacement this January whilst he's still here.

Agree on CB but we need another FB that can really play the inverted role. Ideally, one that can cover left or right.

 

[White Hart]

Youre right.

We've signed Timo Werner to play in our front three because Maddison, who hasn't played a single minute there for us has been injured.

Got it.

Click to shrink...

Maddison usually plays just behind the frontn3 but does drift out wide quite often.

 

[To Dare Is To Do.]

Not sure about that.... Whoever leaves needs to be replaced. Lots of games again next season.

Click to shrink...

True, but I don't think we need a like for like replacement.

If we buy two quality forwards, we'll have so much depth in attack that Kulu would be available as a midfielder if needed (and to be fair... you suggested this a few months ago and have been proven right as he's been effective there).

The only criticism could be that our midfield has too many attacking players and not enough DMs, but that suits Ange-ball. I mean there's a reason he's barely played Hojberg despite our injury crisis!
