January transfer thread

This is not a FACT I personally think we will get 1 forward midfield player in, and a loan CF to help out Ross, both loans.
These will not spend any money unless we sell 2 or 3.
They have been looking at the French kid for 3 weeks solid now.
What more do they need to know, ????.
He came up on Sunday night and then went straight back. WTF are we doing.
Hunter will turn that into a scoop.

 

Which French kid ekwah or lihadji?

 

I go on now and again just to look at the topics that have been created in “pure football” and have a good laugh. I’m sure half of them are mags, especially the new chants.

 

Don't ask him complicated questions like that he's just allowed in the room now, no one gives him anymore info since the 2 amigos left, he just watches from the sidelines

 

I'd welcome Ellis back with open arms

 

I hope that's Simms and not Short your meaning there

 

Undoubtedly mate

 

Aye. A loan will do but saying that I wouldn't mind a permanent to commit to it all. Think the player himself would even benefit from it. Needs to settle and build as a player IMO.

 

We'd be daft not to try and buy him permanently if hes available. Good player who is only going to continue to improve, 17 games 7 goals isn't to be sniffed at.

 

Especially if Everton are skint and we can afford him

 

Just think.
IF we end up buying Simms.
IF we got promoted and Everton got relegated.

There’s a possibility that we may loan Simms to Everton as we would probably strengthen the forwards with proven premiership players.

Quite unlikely but it would be funny if it happened.

 

This. The lad will benefit hugely from stability and feeling like he belongs imo.

 

7 goals in about 1100 minutes of football too iirc. Better Goals per minute than the likes of Gyokores, Morris, Pukki. Love him here on a permanent, think he’s still very raw but has so much potential. I think strikers either have that goalscorers instinct or they don’t, it’s not something you just learn over the course of your career like other traits - and he’s definitely got it.

 

This,boys and girls,is what happens when you forget to take your meds.

 

Maybe waiting on a work permit if refering to the lille lad. Our team in place know exactly what they are doing

 

So what if they have been looking at the french for 3 wks solid, they have to make sure he right for the club and the deal is right for the club

 

I know some are panicking that we've not had any arrivals yet but for me the track record that the recruitment team are building means we have to be patient and trust them. Typically the majority of business happens late in January anyway but I'd rather us wait to secure our main targets rather than end up with a fourth or fifth choice.

 

Never been so relaxed about transfers as I am this window.

 

This is Fishpaste I know but it’s a direct quote from our manager. I know he’s not in charge of transfers. But I don’t think it’s right to suggest we won’t be looking to spend money.

 

same. I’m actually excited for deadline week
