January Transfer Thread 2024

[Brian Fantana]

Always an interesting one. Especially as Lange brought him to Copenhagen.

And he had a trial with us as a young kid. If we were going for him I suspect it would be one we’d want to keep very quiet.

 

[Gatsby]

Fuck it… all in for Mbeumo in this summer.

 

[LeParisien]

Been linked in the past with this chap who is a bit further along in his development than Nusa. I wonder if we will look at him instead?

Musa was always too easy to spell. This guy is going to be Erikson’s replacement

 

[Zomb]

It’s not a sequential thing.
Sometimes I spend money ahead of my payday in anticipation of income.
Contrary to some opinions, Vicario, Maddison and Van der Ven , despite coming in earlier, weren’t free giveaways with a packet of jelly babies.

We slowly reduced our wage bill over the last two years, we need to start exploiting this position of strength

 

[Zomb]

By replace, do you mean like for like replacements? I.e. 1CDM, 1CAM, 2LWs, 1GK?
We'd likely bring in around 40m from those sales, would you want us to prioritise a certain position and spend more on it?

40M? LOL from who? 400k more like

 

[Cranston]

For the record, I think recruitment has been much improved in the last 12 months and the window has been positive.

But our frontline still needs a lot of work.

 

[Matt1882]

Honestly, the sad level of people in here that they can't let some one use a bit of sarcastic humour to make fun of our sad failures in the transfer market


I don't really care if people "get me" or my humour style.
But don't waste my time quoting me all night or else you'll just go on ignore.

This is the kid with the questionable age isn’t it?

 

[Matt1882]

Maybe doesn't really interest me, a signing like Nusa was for the summer not for now anyway, i was fine with that.

The summer is still gonna happen. Better to steal a march and get ahead of the crowd. But of course, that's not our style.

 

[CerealMaterial]

If Brentford did in fact guarantee Nusa game time then that’s one hell of a gamble. Depending on the quality of other sides in the league next year I could see them getting quite low on the table if he doesn’t immediately kick on

 

[White Hart]

It's like excuse bingo. Let's come up with everything we can that shows it's not just us thinking we have a deal done, so sit on our hands for a weak and do nothing.

The point is that nobody can be sure of the reason. The media reports so many different things so who knows the real reason.

 

[Achilles]

10+ pages in the last few hours... Time to get caught up, we must have signed someone!

Better not look for too long, or a big club like Palace might steal a march on us.

 

[Starks]

Not that I've heard?

 

[Matt1882]

I'm sure those brushing it off are sure they all know the reasons.
I don't quite get where that mentality has come from. Bit like having 1 shot on goal last night, but it's OK as it was Ange and not Conte.

Ours fans have got fickle

 

[CerealMaterial]

Not that I've heard?

wasn’t there some talk that he’s actually 2 years older than his listed age. Most likely BS though

For the record, I think recruitment has been much improved in the last 12 months and the window has been positive.

But our frontline still needs a lot of work.

Backline is good now finally, even the backups Dragusin, Royal, Davies and Forster are fine.

Midfield we need another Sarr energy player don’t care if that is Gallagher or Ederson or whoever, but I can see why we are linked as we need energy players to retain the press.

Attack we need an elite wide player. Son, Richarlison and Veliz can cover CF as I doubt we are looking at Toney or Osinhem but we need a kvaratskhelia type player who can press, dribble, link and score to a high level.

 

[Richard Arlison]

Kvara is the calibre of player we should we going for and based on his performances for Napoli last season he seems to have the attributes and end product to be a long term Son replacement.

It would be interesting to know what sort of figure Napoli would want for him considering they’re languishing in mid table this season and they’re reportedly skint.

Napoli are planning to sell Osimhen for stupid money this summer. They won’t need to shift Kvara same time

We can buy him in 2.5 years time for 80m from Brentford

They were the Kane money
