Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

Piatek - mentioned this morning that he is on his to Spurz for £28 million - if true we can move on to our next target?

I suspect he never was a target.  I doubt we'll be spending £20-£30m this window.

I suspect even if we offered enough cash, he'd be unlikely to swap Milan for a struggle in the premiership, when waiting until the summer would allow him his choice of clubs.

Going from the highlights alone, Dennis Man looks a better prospect than Coman. Looks faster, better close control and better vision and altogether looks sharper. The only downside is that he seems to wear his shorts like he's in prison. Coman looks like a show pony. I think both would struggle badly here - they would be ones for the end of next season I would think but we do need to think forwards, so I wouldn't be adverse to a punt. Need replacements when we sell McGinn for £50M and Trez for £30. See what I did there.

I disagree, I suspect Man would be as badly bullied as Trez is in the premier league, looks too light-weight for me, Coman looks much more physical and therefore ready to play against the shithouses in this league.

2 hours left for a striker announcement or no striker vs City. Kodjia recovering from illness is basically the same thing.

Whether Kodjia is unfit or has moved on to Forest, I am really disturbed by the prospect of facing City (or anybody) without a fit striker. It’s no way to run a football club.
Surely they won’t let kodj go without a viable replacement?

Buy a striker you set of divs!

This.

(Or two, preferably).

[Bad English]

I remember seeing videos of Kodjia celebrating promotion where he was weird as fuck. I didn't imagine that, did I?

[Flin5tone]

I'd be astonished if we go into Sunday without signing a striker

Prepare to be astonished.

[PaulWinch again]

Yes I’d be staggered if we go into Sunday with a striker.

[Clampy]

I think the important thing is getting the right one/s. If it means that it happens after Sunday then so be it. Not ideal but there you go.

Tosun is having a palace medical. This means 1 thing! Hes coming home...

Rightly or Wrongly we must be bringing Benteke back and were waiting for palace to get their man! It's the only thing that makes sense

[Clampy]

It might be Connor Wickham you know.

[Flin5tone]

I'd love to see Benteke back, the sort of lift we need and then hope we can get the best out of him.

[Holy Trinity]

It might be Connor Wickham you know.

You may be right...

Tosun obviously Mark's the end for either him or benteke at palace
