January Transfer Window

[Dubciteh]

A striker too if you ask me, someone to mix it up a bit.

[johnny crossan]

Is Mendy out for the season? And does anyone know whats wrong with Fern?

The two areas in which we have insufficient quality cover. Maybe we have already planned who we want in the summer and maybe we can bring them early. But we didn't bring anyone in those positions in the summer for onecreason or another.

Unless its a target brought early I think I'd sooner not see anyone rather than a panic buy who then might not fit and we struggle to offload. Injuries are part and parcel of the game and we just have to get on with it. We may not win the PL this year. We may well retain it. Either way, as long as we have given it our best shot and have entertained and picked up a cup along the way as a little bonus, come May I'll take that. Be very disappointed not to win the PL especially if the murderers win it, but no one has a right to win it. It must be earned over 38 games and if we fall short then so be it. We learn and move on. To be fair to baconface and the rags its one thing they did very well. When Arsenal and Chelsea won titles they took it on the chin, regrouped, improved their squad and went again the next season. We need that mentality and hunger and drive.

But back to the January window. Be surprised if we got our guys early as most clubs don't sell before their own season is done

No and apparently no again. We all know we need cover for those positions and the striker options need to be improved. The Spafia are inept, their arrogance and lack of negotiating expertise have landed us with a big problem.

I really don't understand the level of criticism for the 'Spafia', yes mistakes are made, like everywhere but you're talking about a DoF who was part responsible for building arguably the best club side the world has seen.

Without intimate knowledge of these deals, which I'm assuming none of us on here have, then how can we say how good/bad/indifferent their negotiating skills are? The purse strings need to be considered too as them cunts are always gunning for us.

Cobblers.

50% of what trophies they've won in the last 30 years are attributable to favourable refereeing , and getting goals/decisions/penalties from officials intimidated by WhiskyBreath . DO NOT ask ME to be FAIR to f* BaconFace, he's a cheating c*t !

On the plus side and despite the inevitable dogs breakfasts they landed KDB, Sane, Walker, Jesus and Bernardo. Then we also got Mendy, Gundogan, Mahrez, Bravo, Nolito, Mangala, Bony - £200m+ wasted through sheer incompetence.

Ederson, Laporte, Fernandinho, Sterling too but who's counting?

I presume Pellegrini and Guardiola don't share responsibility on them signings?

And fwiw Gundogan at 20m is still a bargain regardless.

Fair enough and the managers share responsibility but we do have a poor record for landing our targets compared to Chelsea - which is the benchmark. The lack of cover now at LB and DM is indefensible IMO.

[Nigels Tackle]

sign rice and sessegnon

[Wonderwall]

sign rice and sessegnon

Sessegnon has been shocking so far this season. I know he had a great season last year but he has been found wanting this season. Not to be too harsh on the lad though as he is only a baby. I just think it's a little too soon to be at this level at the moment.

[Spurge]

I agree with that re sessegnon. Important that he learns from this season as it can still be a positive in terms of progression.

Rice has a full season more in the prem and looks all the better for it. See WHU have tied him down on an extended contract today. Very wise as when he goes it ensures they will get good money for him - he looks every bit a player with a big future ahead of him.

[s1ty m]

I've seen a few hints about Fartygas in the various media outlets. Horrible little git.

We lost the current best player in Germany due to baldies refusal to fucking play him....not even a few minutes in any game.

That's about as disgusting as some of the spafias signings.

He was 16 when he was here ffs

[carl_feedthegoat]

WTF has his age got to do with his ability ?

Stop looking for excuses that don't exist..he was good enough and Dortmund certainly recognized this.

All PeP had to do was play him a few minutes here and there to convince him , like he did with Foden...but he didn't....he went out and bought MehRez instead.

Sometimes its best just to fuckign recognize a fuckup from our hierarchy when theres a fuck up instead of looking for non existing excuses.

[Foreverinbluedreams]

WTF has his age got to do with his ability ?

Nothing at all Carl, perfectly reasonable to throw a 16 year old in when we were struggling to get the results to qualify for Champions League in a team that was still adapting to the new manager's methods.

[Foreverinbluedreams]

No, he wasn't good enough for them then either, he didn't start a game for them until 6 months into his contract there, just shy of his 18th birthday.

[Foreverinbluedreams]

And Mahrez didn't sign until a full year after Sancho had left.

[carl_feedthegoat]

And Mahrez didn't sign until a full year after Sancho had left.

Mehrez was penciled in back then.
