The transfer thread

To me it’s a no brainer
There is also Angel Gomes that too
Both are out to contact and the kind that you can sign and sell on at a later date for a paper profit if need be. And I know people would say wages.. but there would be minimal fee
If I were Jonathan David I would not touch us with a barge pole.
 
After tonight and tomorrow's games, it will be clear which CL clubs cannot possibly progress.
At that point they may want to offload players.
E.g. clubs such as Young Boys, Red Bull Salzberg, Red Bull Leipzig, Sturm Graz, Red Star Belgrade, Girona, Sparta Prague, Shakhtar Donetsk, Bologna.
This will become clearer tomorrow night. And definite around 30Jan. The transfer window ends 3Feb.

Likewise for EL and ECL clubs. Currently E.g. Dynamo Kyiv, Nice, Rigas, Qarabag, Malmo, Twente, Slavia Prague etc.

So this may kickstart some actual DECISIONS once those clubs know for sure where their season is heading.

You might say those TEAMS are not very good, but scattered within their squads are some star players we just haven't heard of yet. That is what Lange is paid to find.

Well noted

Yeah, those Red Bull clubs always have gems in them. Sesko is probably the best known.

Xavi Simons has been mentioned in the past. On loan from PSG though.

But will we? We have had some good finds but wouldn't say amazing finds other than Bergvall.

We rarely seem to find a Cunha or a Raphinha. I hope he does but always seems that the smaller clubs find a gem and we end up trying to get them after a few years at a prem club.

I agree though there are loads out there, the number 7 for Lille last night was class as were a few others.

Depends what you mean by "finds" - how unknown would they have to be fall into that category? Bergvall. Kinsky? Sarr? Udogie? Vuskovic seems like an excellent prospect.

Amazing finds are rare at most clubs. Some of those that end up looking like that take time to get to that level, I'm definitely not against signings for the future, but right now what they can do short term matters quite a lot.

Those amazing finds, fairly unknown, very good short term and potentially amazing players are really rare.

Very good point.

Should we have gone for a player we could have gotten earlier in the window or wait until later to see if we can get a player rated higher (within the club)? Can definitely see the argument for needing someone in early in the window, but I will always lean towards taking the time needed to try to get the best player we can.

Assuming we will actually do some real business this January. Not doing more than Kinsky seems poor.
 
How about coaches ..do we need a dedicated fitness coach and set piece coach. I really feel we need to upgrade on our defensive coach.

Scot munn is supposed to take care of all these. Is he a football guy or just some senior manager that can get along with Levy?

Cunha cost wolves £38M
Rafinha cost Leeds £16m
Both were well known players
If say that these gems are harder to find because everyone has the same way of finding them
