January 2019 Transfer Window

One answer, and I suppose it depends on our finances, is to buy these young starlets and loan them straight to a team in europe for a season, where work permits are not so much of an issue. Somewhere like PSV would be ideal, building on our existing relationship with Brands. Hopefully they would perform well enough to cement their position in their national team, and a season in Holland would help bridge the quality gap and prepare them for life in the Premier.

Yeh like Onyekuru but it’s how long they’ll take to then get a permit - I don’t want to be another Chelsea. I’m a little surprised we don’t send out some of our young academy lads out there though.

That might change come March 29th,who knows.

Yeah. Who knows what's going to happen. If the 2 sides can agree on the interim arrangements I don't think anything will change initially as regards the work permits for none EC players.

You live in Span don't you? All the uncertainty must be a bit worrying at the moment.

Read Silva’s comments in the echo about recruitment. He’s waxing lyrical about how good the recruitment has been etc. someone needs to remind him that his team is massively underperforming and he is responsible.

Why does that make the recruitment bad?

 

[f.t.r.s]

If manolas really does have a 30.5 mill clause it'd be worth a go? Only 30 more than we should have got him for years ago like

Silva talks a lot about him picking the targets and him asking for players. Little confused as to Brands’ role there.

Think Chelsea is the extreme tbf but I take your point. It is a way around the system though for bringing in the type of player Brands is used to. Not all will work of course but that's the gamble you take when you bring them in younger.

I'd liked to have seen Dowell go out to PSV.

Supposedly were asking for €45mil for Gana (who has agreed terms with PSG) and are looking at Thiago Mendes from Lille for €30mil as the replacement.

The new signings have all done at least reasonably well TBF.

I thought Docoure from Watford has already gone to PSG?

Anything that inolves the Zatman is weaselling
