Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

Lansbury's is fairly reliable I fear. Was on a decent amount at Fores and was only six months from a free transfer which helps in negotiations. The bigger disaster was giving likes of him and Taylor four and a half year deals. He's been here three years and played about ten games.

Those wages look miles out. I reckon you could at least double most of them and be closer to the truth.

Watford signing a Udinese player for 15m.

I've watched them a few times and can't say this individual has ever stood out that much.

Rodrigo de Paul is one we should be looking at though. 25 and despite being a wide player has scored 20 goals in just over 100 games in Serie A. 17 caps for Argentina in last two years aswell.

That to me is the profile of player we need to sign in next 18 months. Plenty of caps for one of the better nations in football and a regular in a top league.

Not bejng funby but uf the reports are true about why are we wasting 5m on another defender??? Unless he is planning to sell engels or konsa?

Striker striker striker ffs

My guess is we can't spend because of FFP and that's why we have signed the two players we have - if Reina joins of course. i hope he doesn't because he's as useless as Drinkwater. The owners might as well just set fire to whatever the loan fees are.

Agree Mr U.  Jed Steer has never let us down and he is two weeks away from a return.  So effectively whatever we are paying Reina it is for a couple of weeks of cover for or replacement of Nyland.  It is a decision on a par with the insanity of throwing Drinkwater into the relegation dog fight.

It’s all looking a bit desperate.

[Three Spires Villa]

It certainly is looking desperate

Quite simply, if we dont get 2 attacking players in this week ready for the Brighton/Watford games then we deserve to go down. Its utterly negligent its got to this point

Not sure even that will be enough.

It will. Yesterday we missed an outlet, El Ghazi tried on his own but isn’t really that type of player and certainly not the quality against Man City.

My concern remains defensive midfield, team selection and tactics.

Any transfer whispers to cheer us up?!

[mr underhill]

Worryingly, heard nothing is remotely close
