January Transfer Window 2023

We withheld appointing Dyche for a good couple of days to eat away most of what was left of the window, then we put in the good ol' doomed-to-fail bid for Gallagher to "prove" we have cash to spend. Now we'll finish on the reliable, old "we couldn't get quite the deals over the line" manoeuvre.

Gallagher probably would have been an upgrade on one of Gana, Onana, Iwobi or Garner so it was right to do try. You go get player x on your list that costs 25m and you haven't actually made an improvement then you've chucked that money down the drain. This then might stop you getting perhaps a 40 million player in the summer as your budget won't stretch.

We have to ask ourselves do we want players just so we have bought anyone or do we want upgrades and/or money for future windows. We cannot keep making the same mistakes.

"Barnsey, it's Sean. Have I got an offer for you."

"have you got Brownhill's number?"

If DCL goes down which is very likely then we are left with Maupay and Simms.
