January Transfer Thread 2020

[Hitchy]

I loved Geri but don't recall crossing being a strong point. He normally got to the byline and gave it to no one.

Watching him against a very poor Bournemouth, he really did not do much.

Maybe my memory is clouded but I swear one of his better attributes when playing for us was his ability to whip in wicked early crosses and put it on a platter for the likes of Lukaku and co

 

[Abraders]

Ake is pretty solid. Can't see it happening though, Bournemouth would want mega money surely

 

[Bluewolf]

Love the way people think del was boss for us.

He was so crap we loaned him out to Milan and didn't even miss him. He's ended up just where he belongs at Watford.

Even if Gomes and Gbamin come back this season they may not be at full speed till March/April. Plus the type of midfielder(playmaker/box to box) we need means we need to add even if its a loan.

70+ goals conceded a season and ever decreasing league finishes since Bournemouth bought him says different to me.

It's just all media hype.

Great eye for a defence-splitting pass, too.

I'd take him back in a heartbeat.

We won't be signing a centre midfielder while we have 6 of them. No chance

How many of them are a/fit b/good enough?

Sick of reading on here and especially twitter, going on about ex players. Geri not good enough for a team wanting top 6.

Traore was the next player after Geri coming through at Barca. And he looked the same, in terms of pace but no end product. He has finally took his game to the next level, but still has a bit to go imo.

He's got cool hair though.

i think we should sign big John Stones back because he is the best cb in England and also hes big, hes from Barnsley and hes number 5, another signing we should make is Marcus Antonio from Shaktar because my lad said he is good on one of these football games he plays on these devices

None imo. Gbamin unknown. Gomes has had great games and poor ones. And his end product needs to improve before he becomes a top player.

The rest are all a bag of [Poor language removed].

I agree, its like the Emperor's New Clothes

Potentially Gomes and Gbamin but we will be lucky to see either again this season at full pelt. Davies is a squad player. Sig/Morgan and Delph are all not up to standard. We need a midfielder with power and pace and leadership ability in there.

I could see us selling Kenny. He’s not good enough for us (despite the revisionism in his absence) and he’d be pure profit for the accountants and FFP.

Not only we could, but it's the sort of sale the club need to be doing a lot more of with our young players.

 

[CielosGrises]

Ake would certainly fit our trend of buying from relegation teams. From what I've seen, not worth the prices quoted - Sigurddson style.
