Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

It's the thought of getting my Benteke shirt out of the pawnshop Olly.

I bet it's still there, not much Villa in Wisbech.

Piatek playing for Milan at the moment and he scored one. Looks like it's a non starter for us though with spuds sniffing around.

** would like a pacey winger as well but that maybe pushing it

Watford have just bought one for £7m. Pussetto, Argentinian lad playing in Italy.

Do their owners still own Udinese? If they do it's not a surprise as that's where he is joining them from.

It is, I checked, on a hanger between Octavia Hill's corsets and Tony Martin's overcoat.

He will help them claw their way to safety.

I still think we should have put in a big offer for Tabby Abraham

They do indeed. Still, nice business if you can do it.

We had a pacey winger a few years ago called Adama Traore. Never did understand why we let him go. Raw talent yes but look how he's doing now.

I think timing ultimately did for us and Traore. He was at the club at a poor time.

But he is an illustration of why leaping to judgement with young players can be a mistake. He also demonstrates the benefits of good coaching.

Absolutely. As we've all asked at some point, what do they actually do at Bodymoor?

[Jon Crofts]

What’s the cut off for signing a player ahead of Saturday’s game at Brighton?

[ozzjim]

Piatek looks a player at Milan but no chance he's coming here.

Slimani loan to buy makes sense. Looks like he'd be a decent addition to be fair. If you could buy Benteke at a cheap price towards the end of the window to add him as an option it would be brilliant.

Slimani not on the bench for Monaco

[wince]

Don’t get the love in for Benteke. Yes his goals kept us up and he was and always be the beast but he went missing a lot in games and his head would drop. His form has dipped since he left and what is to say he will regain it? He was sadly our past. I will always praise his staying on for us though.

[Steve67]

People saying Slimani is injured.  I wonder if it's a similar er, 'injury' to the one Jonathan Kodjia has picked up.
