Transfer Rumours JANUARY TRANSFER THREAD

How come?

 

It’s a manageable debt, like a mortgage. Have Man Utd beenheld back by the huge debt they took on?

It’ll only be an issue if the owner chooses to take every penny out the club.

 

@Le Tissier's Laces keeps mentioning Tata Martino for the next manger from Atlanta Utd - how about trying to sign the MLS top scorer this year Josef Martinez?

42 international appearances too for Venezuela and 9 gals for them. 25 Years old.

 

Or if we get relegated, at which point the investment will be about £100m underwater.

 

Yeah but B W-P was prolific over there. Plus we could teach the best strikers how to miss a sitter

 

BWP is the all time MLS top scorer

 

Says it all

 

Exactly! Don't get down and defy the doubters!

Two points, manageable by paying probably around 6% interest on the loan annually which impacts on the funds available for transfers and I won’t mention how manageable the debt will be if we get relegated

 

Can we have schneiderlin and wanyama back please?!

 

We should be doing everything possible to bring Morgan home.

 

Sell the whole defence and replace it with mannequins

 

Plus Forster, Davis, Long and Austin
Sell them all and we might have enough money to buy a decent CB

 

I thought we already had those..........

 

Even giving them away would save, I dunno, £13m or more a year in wages.

 

But the teams who would want them aren't going to pay their current wages. They must all be on £50k+ a week and I can't see any PL teams wanting them, and I can't see any Championship teams who could pay that wanting them either.

 

Quite possible, though I could see Long or Austin going to a PL squad looking for cheap experience, perhaps in the summer. Now, it might still be advantageous for the likes of Long, Austin or Davis to take a pay cut; Davis' contract expires after this season, Long/Austin after next, and at their ages there's some incentive to try to get a longer-term deal with more opportunity. Forster is another story entirely, given that we're stuck with him for another three years after this one.

It's definitely a problem, though. we may have to just wait them out, but that presumes that we won't add more awful contracts in the interim (and that we'll survive two PL seasons).

 

Cedric would still get a good fee

 

Didn’t he want to go in the summer though? And nobody came in for him.

 

Would be a shame to loose out on a transfer fee but not the player who looks a shadow of himself
