January 2019 transfer thread

[Totti]

Somebody is getting a bargain.

Interesting with our reported hunt for attacking options. I'll just repeat myself and say we need numbers in midfield. Learning that Porto have offered £14m + Chancel Mbemba for Olivier Ntcham, I really think we should hijack that deal. At 22 years of age, homegrown and with no real weaknesses he could be a Poch project. Celtic fans won't mind moving him on because of a poor performance last time up against Rangers. When coming to midfield I'd pick him over Dier any day. I'd say go!

No he wasn't/isn't. Running up and down the line at Monaco (17 games. no goals)

2014-2015 for us, scored 13 goals. He had some excellent moments at Spurs.

OK focus on one word 'immeasurably' and use it for justification for all the other duds that came as part of the Bale money.

The 'did we spend the Bale money well' question has been done to death over the years. You think we did (because we picked up Eriksen). I think we didn't because of the other signings.

Seriously we're saying Chadli, Chiriches and co were good signings? A lot of the subsequent posts in this thread are the 'let's persuade ourselves' that they were good signings "because they had a some good moments".

They weren't and they didn't.

Let's agree to disagree.

We can agree to disagree. You said Eriksen improved us immeasurably mate.
I agree with that totally. We are the team we are todaybecause of selling Bale. He was a wonderful player no doubt. But since he went, we have gone from strength to strength. No longer is it a great season to get top 4. It’s expected now. We were too reliant on him. Now it takes a number of injuries to get us worried.

So, quick synopsis: Who are the most likely targets at the moment?

All I'm reading so far is Malcolm, but seems like it might be contingent on Giroud to Barca.

None,nothing and no one

I've genuinely forgotten what an exciting transfer feels like

I know what you mean but so far it's only been one full window without a signing! I was pretty excited about the Moura transfer the window before.

That said, no signings this window too and I'll be right with you.

That's ridiculous, we're crying out for a player like Weigl now Dembele is gone!

I just looked it up and surprised myself that it had only been a year! Feels like an eternity...

It's the kind of move that Levy would never do because it makes too much sense to everyone else

I think Levy and Pochettino have forgotten the impetus it can also provide

We have a really good manager, quality players and a super stadium soon to move into but there are also moments when a club needs to recognise that it needs a lift on and off the pitch.

This is one such time.

There must be a reason why they would let him go for that price. And also must be a reason why he's only played 559 minutes of first team football this season. 120 of which came in the cup match against Union Berlin.

I think he’s had 2 surgeries on his ankle. Perhaps a bit broken?

With Lord Zlatan this season.

Imagine if this team had half the confidence and self belief of Zlatan, bye bye botttling.

He could be our Cantona.

We couldn't afford his boots

Just what we're crying out for. :dembelewtf:

Lucas Moura last Jan was quite an exciting signing weren’t it ? Someone of that calibur would be nice this Jan. I would see a signing like Malcom would be sort of similar and one to lift the spirits. Let’s be honest, we are not going to splash out on a Werner.

 

[The Multi]

Fantastic to see I finally have a few converts to the Zlatan train, it's about time. Just need to get some banners out at the game now

Fingers crossed, we're negotiating a pay as you play for Rossi.

So, a free transfer.

 

[StripiestPilot]

Zlatan is the last thing we need, if there is one thing that Poch's success here has been built on it's his policy of "no knobheads".
