January Transfer Window 2018

[McBain]

He got a blinding write up in The Guardian (?) last year as one to watch. Remember the name as it didn't jump out as an Aussie name.

 

[The binman chronicles]

I hear Giroud is getting divorced.

Wouldn't surprise me, I bet he hogs all the mirrors in the house.

 

[nsno-chris]

Who you reckon mate? I'm going for Giroud for 11m after his wife has cut off his leg and some boss left back who plays for Rotherham

£50m Shane Long
£15m James Collins

Make it so Walshy

 

[Thomasc]

Just enjoy the football lads x

 

[B17BLG]

The GIF thread?

 

[DanB90]

Can see how this is gonna play out already:

We fail to sign a striker

Ross leaves for £5mil

And Kenwright phones up Jim White on deadline day pretending to be Moshiri again.

 

[Bungle]

Hey lads I think we should purchase some footballers. What does everybody think about that?

Hoping Moshiri answers Jims call on deadline day in January and all we hear is him cackling as he reveals he's shifted the club on to some Ugandan General and we've signed a load of Jinja Municipal Council Hippos FC players as part of the deal.

Njoo wewe blues

If he pulled those 2 deals off I think we can safely say he's earned his corn this time!

He will probably run down his contract.

And what is the point £5m just let him rot in the reserve.

Just rename it the sell to buy thread. At least we all know that's the case now

As has been covered elsewhere in excellent detail by @toffeeblue9 , Net spend is a crude measure that doesn't begin to tell others full story of what a club spends on transfers.
But...even if it was a good measure.....

http://www.skysports.com/football/n...league-transfers-how-much-did-your-club-spend

We spent the 4th most of any clubs in the premier league in the summer window.
Our net spend was the 6th highest, totalling almost £50m. This follows on from the January window, where our net spend was £21.7m.

Summer 2016 we made a profit of about a million.
So, over the last 3 windows, we've reinvested the sales of over £150m of players plus another £60m+ on top.

But please...PLEASE do not let the facts get in the way of a good old moan.
