The transfer thread

[Bedfordspurs]

Further to the general theme of us signing players with one eye on the future and who are home grown. I think the Irish lad at derby, knight would be a good signing.

Terrific work ethic, all action displays. Derby appear to have financial troubles, it all adds up to me.

What position

 

[Lemonade Money]

What position

b1, g1, b8 and g8.

What position

The lazy comparison would be a Roy Keane player.

I can only go on highlights from the championship but he seems to have a real high energy style to his play plus good ability on either foot.

Looks better even though at a lower level then say Ricr at West ham.

Vinnie simply not good enough.

fudging ridiculous comment! But I guess your super scout abilities can judge that after him playing all of 24 minutes in the Premier league.
Apart from those 24 minutes, he's got 6 goals and 3 assists in 509 minutes of football!

He's joined Stoke CIty, with keeping an eye on for the future.

Alfie Doughty, thought I'd linked it with previous post.

We need a RB ( I always wanted Ricardo Perera at Leicester A much better bet than the titch from Norwich) A dominant CH ( maybe Skrinar ) and a hunk of burning love of a CF ( Vinnie simply not good enough. Not a hunk of burning love. No power in the air, no holdup play, no ball control and no speed to run in behind and. Defoe like disregard for the offside rule. We need a hunk of burning love there to provide a proper threat and change games when needed.

Must get rid of a few first though so no movement likely until the summer.

Have you not been won over by Serge yet? Think he's made the position his own and ironed out a lot of the mistakes, plus we've only just signed an out and out RB in Doherty who was in many eyes one of the best in the league...Appreciate Japhet didn't smash it the other day but he looks comfortable at right back. Not having a pop but it seems like it'd be the last position we'd look to invest in currently, unless it's a young punt from lower leagues without much immediate expectation in our PL squads...

Do think you've been a bit harsh on Vinicius as well, it'll be whether he gets an extended run in the first team. Currently, like for however many of the last transfer windows our squad has this house of cards feeling to it: it'll only take a couple of injuries and we'll be so much weaker on the pitch in all competitions and we'll be looking around surprised that we haven't won anything but I'm beyond being surprised at it.

CB we agree on but Sanchez is the big investment that hasn't paid off and each season passing by he is depreciating in value due to his performances and contract steadily running down.

Like most will be surprised if we make any signings, Sanchez and Dele are the stumbling blocks and the latter is unlikely to leave on loan this window...Worst time to sell and more than ever our expected returns will not be viable so it's hoping that Dele can find some form for us rather than wishing for some late christmas presents in the Jan window...

we will see what Mou thinks of him at the end of the season. If he doesn’t renew his loan or buy him , then we will all know. Time will tell, but for me he doesn’t have any outstanding feature.

[Gazza Dazzla]

I guess Gueye would fit well as Hojberg cover?

 

[StephenH]

Drexler

 

[milo]

We can't sign a non-homegrown player as a Dele replacement because we already have too many. The only way that works is if they replace a non-homegrown player in the squad, still leaving us a man down.

The rumour is we turned down the players PSG wanted to exchange in a transfer and we are insisting on a loan with no option to buy

And that’s sensible for us
He is our player and clearly we as a club value him (even if Jose won’t play him)
For us to take a PSG player it would have to be one that they wouldn’t want to lose IMO

 

[Bullet]

...or we set the option to buy at £800m

 

[greatwhitenorf]

b1, g1, b8 and g8.

You sunk my Battleship!

Him and Hojberg with Dombele further forward

 

[braineclipse]

Gueye would be a very good signing imo. But the HG issue makes it unlikely I suppose. Unless we can shift another non - HG player before the window closes.

Struggling to see a HG replacement for Alli we could get in, if that's the requirement for a deal to go through I think it's looking unlikely.

Cantwell possibly... which is renewed link but IMO a BIG drop of quality

McNeil from Burnley. I really rate him but he is more of a winger
