Transfer Rumours January '22 Transfer Thread

anyone just see that free kick comoros had what a fantastic goal, they down to 10 men have a defender in goal as they don't have another keeper and were 2-0 down to cameroon.

 

Yedlin is returning back to usa for a mls team most probably

 

Yeah MLS teams are after him, that is true. But Tan is his agent by all accounts, or at least has some part to play in his management so.. you never know

 

Presumably Lee Darnbrough is now surplus to requirements?

 

Important question is, can Allahyar play at wing back?

 

I'd like to see him playing off Tom Eaves.

 

Can't have too many ....KLPs

 

11 would be to many .

 

Only because he’s a crap goalkeeper though.

 

Disagree. We could sell one to each of Brentford, West Ham and Spurs for a combined £50m and still have 8 left

 

I'm bothered as players coming from across Europe will take time to adjust and settle into English football (assuming they haven't played in England previously) and I'd rather have players ready to hit the ground running at this point of the season. Happier to take punts in the summer.

 

Well there is that i suppose.

 

Where you getting the info that Tan is his agent?

 

Some do, some don't. Often depends on the quality of the player. Need to see who we get through the door first

 

I'd also like to see some assurance/discussion over the future of our Academy and their ambitions with the Academy.

 

Id love to see us have a purpose built training ground which houses all the clubs players and helps us really set some great foundations for the future! I've been fortunate to visit, play at and coach at some amazing set ups and we are unfortunately worlds apart from them. It'll cost £10m+ to do it properly but would be worth it in the sort and long term

 

Anyone think it ended up getting rushed through unexpectedly early?

He seems to have swooped in, done the deal, few small soundbytes and then buggered off again to a backdrop of radio silence. No real interviews, no introductions, nothing. Just speculation and paper talk.

Seems a little odd. Surely addressing the staff, team and fans properly would be number one priority, not a ‘do it when I get round to it’ kind of thing.

 

If we're spending upwards of 4m on a single player in the first window they're at the club, surely there's 10-15m lying around somewhere that could be earmarked for the training ground development.

 

I understand what you’re saying, but any transfer is a gamble. Besides I seem to remember Grosicki and Hernandez hitting the ground running.

 

Agree, the academy training ground is a joke. They share it with a college for god sake.
