Transfer Rumours January window

Of course we have! He's on YouTube!!

And Joelinton is class. We just did that typical bloke thing and didn't read the instructions when we unwrapped him. We thought he was a striker but turns out he's a midfielder.

Xbox gamepass bro, can get it on pc too now

 

I just Google'd it, I'd genuinely never heard of it before . Wouldn't be of much use to me though tbh, FM is the only game I'd play on my laptop so pointless paying a monthly subscription for something I'd only use for one game. I'll just eventually buy it on Steam or Amazon, whatever is cheaper lol.

 

Yeh i hear ya, Its basically steam for xbox anyways.

Its the future of gaming = subscriptions

 

He’s a ball winner isn’t he?

Joelinton - a striker that bad you made a midfielder out of him, strange story tbh.

 

You've got to take the little wins when that's all you have - no matter how you get there!

 

So I've read seen!

He has great touch though and can be very effective going forward too.

 

Shows £100m doesn’t go far these days, a good but aged full back, a 6ft 7” CB who’s been playing LB for years, a Brazilian midfielder no one has seen play, and big Chris Wood. Odd set.

 

Think its about £80M, but yeah, the money is crazy these days - as you know!

 

That's the case for pretty much every team in the premier, no one has been buying other than Villa & Newcastle.

 

It does bring back memories tbh. It’s the older signings that go wrong, that **** you up, if they’re on long and expensive contracts, not worth a carrot in the market & you can’t shift ‘em unless it’s on loan and paying a good chunk of their salaries still.

 

There's no doubt we are taking a gamble, but we pretty much have to due to our position. Financially it is more important to stay up than not paying too much on signings.

January signings are always a massive risk. You tend to pay over the odds, there is no pre-season to bed them in and you run the risk of disrupting the team more than you strengthen it if you introduce too many at once. Guimaraes could be world class but it wouldn't matter a jot if he broke his leg five mins into his debut.

At this stage of the season nothing is as valuable as points on the board - and there are only two teams worse off than us on that score. Everything else involves a mix of good luck, ifs, buts, maybes and the hope that somewhere in there is an inspired signing. At this stage that can't be anything more than hope though.

 

Looks like Van de Beek will be Franks first signing for us.

 

what the Don wants, the Don gets.

 

Is he making the shape of a beak with his hand in case Tobes wasn't sure who he was?

 

Dunno. Your beef is with him.

 

No beef - just bantz innit!

 

Aubameyang off to Barca on loan

Doesn't look like anybody is coming in

Fun times ahead ... sigh
