Transfer Rumours January 2018 Transfer Window

Linked to a quality player, £30m price tag. exactly the sort of business we don't do. Prove me wrong Les!!!

 

He was the one at the Huddersfield game apparently.

 

Promes?

 

Nice one FLT. I've certainly not followed him, like I said I didn't even know what happened to him really. I've not seen any of that behaviour and wouldn't care for it tbh. Shame, you would have thought he would grow up after dropping two divisions.

 

His Instagram suggests that he was on vacation in Miami throughout that period.

 

Nah, he hired an instagrammer in Miami to throw Everton off the scent.

 

I’d far rather take a Balotelli shaped risk.

 

Shows a lot of Promes that kid.

 

Really - where? Would have liked us to sign him.

 

But would be fork out £30M for him when we could had Theo for £20M+?

 

Oh, I'm sure we wouldn't. Guessing that we're very much keen on Promes, so long as Spartak takes much less than they are asking.

 

Champagne tastes, orange juice money.

 

We might pay this if we were willing to pay £20m for Theo. Promes won't be expecting the same kind of wages Theo would and we could sell him to LIverhampton in a couple of years for a profit when Mane moves on.

 

As with many January deals, it could drag out to the last day then. Providing it's genuine interest from us of course.

 

If we sign Carillo, Promes and either a GK or/and CB then i'll be pretty satisfied with the transfer window. Still think that the biggest game changer would be a new Manager though.

 

Remember watching Promes at one of the u21 national tournaments and he looked fantastic. Barely watch Russian football so not sure what he is like now. £30m seems about £15m too expensive for us, and I'm assuming he is on big money over there as well as he went there relatively young when bigger clubs were reportedly looking at him.

 

I'd expect him to be on a decent wage in russia.

 

We should be in the market for £25-30m bracket players given our size and status.

 

Mix the two together = Christmas morning.

 

I'm not really the type who thinks we need to spend a certain amount but the way transfers are now then £25-30m is the new £15-20m. Which makes your £15m player a £8-10m budget type player or complete unknown risk.
