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

Tom Carroll instead.

Tom Carroll confirmed see thread ....you watch Fer be next

[Toronto Villa]

We are Arsenal. We’ll have more signings tomorrow

[johnny from donny]

So, if the Fer deal is off, that's a centre midfielder and a left back short of a good window. I guess that's about 50% ? Be interested to see how much game time Tommy Elphick gets now we've got 2 more centre backs and Axel is due back in a month or so. He's probably going to be well pissed off and I wouldn't blame him.

Ok back 75% 😜

Perhaps I’m being overly optimistic here but this window we have: -

1. Got a new keeper which was a priority before Nylands injury.
2. Reinforced the defensive options with Hause, Mings and recalling Elphick.
3. Kept Tammy
4. Reduced the wage bill significantly with Bolasie and Hogan going.

We would have liked extra but surely they must have been the priorities at the start of Jan?

Added a CM in Carroll

More reason for me to be optimistic.

When you summarise it like that it’s a very good window.

[Toronto Villa]

No left back, no right back until next season, no defensive midfielder, and a defender with an absolutely chronic injury record who has played less than 20 games in four years.  Marvellous chaps, well played all round.

It’s been a decent window. We’ve brought players in and you should be elated. Hogan is gone

I sense you’re less than enthusiastic about our performance in this transfer window.

We have got Tom since then, though.

[hilts_coolerking]

1) The jury's out on the new keeper.
2) Hause had a nightmare debut, Mings has played less than 100 games in 7 years
3) Keeping Tammy I agree was great news, but he was here already
4) Not that fussed about our wage bill

As TV says, we've brought players in but there's much more to it than that.

[paul_e]

I'm pretty happy. We gave better options jn goal, a much better depth in defence and someone to help set the tempo in midfield. Add Jack and we'll be much better and remember Axel is an option as the big guy in midfield now we have 4 other centre halves.

[Risso]

We haven't brought in a single outfield player who can come in and hit the ground running.  Hause, Mings and Carroll have all had injuries and have hardly played this season.  Mings has hardly played at the last three years, and Carroll has been crap for Swansea for the last two years.  Even when fit he's not the player we need.

[Des Little]

Eval Kineval would have fitted right in here

[Sexual Ealing]

All this fitness stuff can be overplayed. Look at Bruce Lee - so fit he was offed by a paracetamol, the soft div.
