Deano’s wishlist - the Jan transfer speculation/guaranteed nonsense thread

[Dave P]

That Maupay appears to be a grade A prick. No thanks.

[JJ-AV]

Went for a pint with a nose mate after we get back from Preston yesterday. I’d already asked him about Henry and Sawyers and he said both were quality, especially Sawyers. Described him as ‘elegant” on the ball and ran the midfield.

I’d sign them both tbh. Get Smith’s men in.

He was a proper bell-end in the game at Villa Park earlier in the season.

[Mister E]

If Grealish really is a long-team absentee, then I think we need two new midfielders because - McGinn aside - we are horribly one-paced and slow to move the ball.
If we can get Sawyer and Dack, let’s do it.

After we’ve got a new leftback, of course.

[Mister E]

I’d also add that Daniel Johnson consistently demonstrates excellent DMF qualities...

[mr underhill]

we are being linked to a DM today - agent in Birmingham this weekend. Plays for Levante I think

[JUAN PABLO]

bruce wants a CB ( yes i know)  a MF and a striker for SWFC

elmo , Whelan and Hogan it is then

[SoccerHQ]

is he any good?

Reasonably solid defensively but poor with the ball at his feet and dosen't off much going forward. Long throw so would be the typical Boro signing.

Don't think he's better than Taylor personally.

Spurs were looking at Dack earlier this season. Blackburn want 20m in any case. Sawyers is far more realistic.

[ozzjim]

Sawyers would do the job.

The guy from Levante might be useful. A mobile holding midfielder or 2 would be most useful. Personally long term I think we need 2 of them to replace Whelan and Jedinak in the squad. Lansbury doesn't even count anymore.

Getting defenders sorted to allow us to use Elmo to shore up the right layer in games would be useful too.

Maupay is a nasty f**ker yes, but also a feisty competitor and a damn good player. At 22 years of age, this would be a real coup for me if we could get him, because this lad is going places.

Prick? Bell-end? Who gives a shit? I see him as a striker who causes defenders problems and scores goals.

[Ads]

We definitely need two midfielders. Grealish being injured, we need that conduit to move the ball out wide with pace.


Equally, we cannot suffer Hourihane deep or Whelan deep. The way we set up, we need legs and presence which they don't offer.

[mr underhill]

Dean needs to unearth the next Maupay. They paid around 3m for him and he'll go for 15-20m. no more paying top top dollar please.

[brian green]

Hear hear.

I agree.  It would be nice if we had a player or two like this as the opposition wouldn't only then concentrate their efforts on kicking the crap out of Jack Grealish!  He's also a very good little player and scores goals.  What's not to like about that?
