@BlueToff @Eggs well done for spotting Andrade had his contract with bournemouth terminated. At face value seemed a top deal for us after watching him first hand but something is clearly wrong with him.

This is such a weird transfer window. Clubs have additional funds in summer and clearly prices will increase then so why not make moves now? This whole "no value" in January argument makes sense when looking at £13.5mil for Niasse who (as @bluestevon says) has basically had a good last 12months. Its even more mental considering 13.5mil knocked back for Slimani by sporting whose no spring chicken and in a poor league.

However, there IS value, Dembele £6mil + Horn £6.5mil are just two examples.

I'm likely way off here but signing s previous journeyman player in Niasse whose just had a good 12months seems very odd indeed. I was expecting that if we were in for Yarmolenko in summer we would be in for someone at least similar to him but this guy is totally different...i just hope he's coming in now with a view to being competition for Yarmolenko (or similar) on the left and Lukaku from the summer when we sign some top players.

@Blue Cheese i think we simply must be waiting till the summer to sign a keeper. Whether thats due to Howards influence in the dressing room or Martinez main target available then who knows...but this is a good thing rather than last year when we were strongly linked with dross like nyland and Marshall.

The reasoning you laid out for why teams should buy now applies just as well to why teams won't want to sell now.

McNulty just mentioned that we did try for Yarmolenko this window, just weren't willing to match Kyiv's asking price in this window.

Goes along nicely with what @roydo has quoted from his source(s) throughout.

Cant see them asking more than £25mil for him which is probably fair value for their best player. Alot of money traditionally for us but would be 50% of our summer tv money approximately of we hit top 7 /8.

That type of signing would / should repay itself though with addiional league placing not to mention squad morale especially Lukaku and Stones seeing that we are bringing in top quality.

A bit different to signing Niasse....really whose bothered?

Yep...fairly balanced i thought :)

Difference is that theres more reasons for us to buy than not this window...suppose also that Martinez may have an eye on stones or someone else leavinf as well as the 5 out of contract players in summer and wait till then to make his moves.

Did Andrade swerve us or did we swerve him last year? Think we passed on that deal.

The windows are only going to get worse after the summer. The new TV deal is going to throw prices right out of equilibrium. Don't know if I would agree with Dembele being worth 6 million, he's only really played in the Championship though the prices are getting out of hand down there as well.
 

If newcastle want oviedo then we should bite their hands off...theyre overpaying on players and we have an option to extend...couple of mil for someone who wont be here in summer and should be behind Galloway now.

See? Solid stuff. And I think I said that Friday.

BlueToff said:
Yep, again, McNulty stating that we had a fee agreed for Yarmolenko in the summer, then Kyiv moved the goalposts. Seems we went back in with an offer that matched what Kyiv wanted when they shifted back in the summer, but they weren't willing to sell at all this window.

The shifting was as much to do with the CL group they got, then getting out of it.
