Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

[Holy Trinity]

This shows how little business there's been this window so far

Jesus what a dire window!

I think this may be the death of the January window as far as massive deals goes

[pauliewalnuts]

I’m quite happy with our transfer window with our hands tied because of ffp
couple of strikers and the young lad Barry fill much needed holes

and we seem well covered in the goalkeeping area now

I still think Drinkwater is a mistake though and is a bit rubbish
but when he’s putting in good performances and I don’t mean the level of Watford one, my bar is set higher than that I will gladly hold my hands up
in the meantime I won’t hold my breath

But on the whole I think we did well

 

Barry is about ten years old, he won’t be anywhere near the first team this season.

[rougegorge]

Sky now saying another signing, is in the offing, no more info,yet......Godzvilla!

Meaning Baston, or another as well as him?

Yep, it's their 'breaking' news ...Baston

Yeah I know he’s one for the future
Still good business in this window though

Sorry, you referred to him filling a hole. The only hole he's filling will be one in the Academy.

I agree re Drinkwater, though. He's shit and is going to need far more time than we have available this season to stop being shit.

Brexit and transfer deadline day done (well neither really)

Goodnight all

[Percy McCarthy]

Apparently we turned down Ighalo last night.

[rougegorge]

Apparently we turned down a chance to get Ighalo last night according to sky. Must have wanted too much money I guess.

[Clark W Griswold]

Apparently last night we turned down the chance to sign this Ighalo guy that’s going to Man Utd. Wages maybe?
We also turned down offers for Neil Taylor...

[Steve67]

We actually turned down two bids for Neil Taylor?  Has the club gone mad?

[rougegorge]

And Sheffield Utd and Celtic were interested in Neil Taylor as well, but we resisted

[Steve67]

And Sheffield Utd and Celtic were interested in Neil Taylor as well, but we resisted

Hopefully they maintain that interest and come back in for him in the summer. 

On Jarred Bowen signing for West Ham, it's another massive gamble.  Let's see what happens.

[Clark W Griswold]

That Ighalo has got a great goal record as well. Not sure if we have a policy of not buying over 30’s...? I would have thought we could have made an exception here but let’s hope the one we have gone for does the business. Seems chuffed to have signed anyway.

[Toronto Villa]

Apparently we turned down Ighalo last night.

Wasn't he on (maybe he still is) 300k a week? Or something equally as ludicrous.

[PeterWithesShin]

I remember Ighalo at Watford, did well in the Championship, had a flying start in the PL and then couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo for over a year.
