Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

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

I am pissed off with them all.

It's almost Remi Garde levels of hanging Smith out to dry

Yep, that team we put out yesterday is no way the level needed in this Division. We don't get playes in, we go down.

Considering the money we spent in the summer , its a bit harsh to criticise them for maybe struggling to come up with more money to throw at the team. Maybe they're trying to offload some crap first, before committing another 10m in wages or transfer fees.

We need at least 2 strikers - get in Benrahma and Benteke and we give ourselves a chance.

[Drummond]

We need a full overhaul to be competing with Liverpool and Man City. To be sure we stay in the division we need 3 or 4 in my view. However, I also think 2 or 3 would get us competitive.

Drinkwater and Reina replace McGinn and Heaton.

Which means we need cover for Wesley and at least one more centre forward. I'd also get in another pacy forward player, as we're too slow.

Defensive cover, if we're going for Vida, is all well and good but hardly urgent.

Ive seen people say why the players we've got when we need a striker as a priority; I'd say it doesn't matter what order as long as we get someone of the right quality in.

I've seen a rumour about Batshuayi for £45m.....

Except Smith has had 2 transfer windows where he has been backed, 1 handsomely, whilst Garde was left with Richards and Gabby being pricks.

[aj2k77]

We have Chester, Mings, Hause, Konsa and Engels. Why are we signing another center back? Smith has signed 4 of those. If we are in need of another one after signing all those less than 6 months ago then it's simply not good enough and whoever is responsible for recruitment, be it Smith or Pitarch needs sacking.

You cannot spend money on 5 center backs in a few months. That's madness.

Remi Garde spent £130 million less than Dean Smith has already.  Even Josef Venglos was allowed to buy Ivo Stas.

Who is going to come here now after the 7 goal thriller* at the Villa?

I agree but apparently Benteke has wrong stats according to P&P brothers.

Any transfer whispers to cheer us up?!

Worryingly, heard nothing is remotely close

I'm guessing the striker they thought they'd have by the city game was Giroud or Murray?

We drew 0-0 at home to City under Remi Garde!

And then lost 4-0 at Goodison. Garde was dire.

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

No strikers in up to today is very disappointing!
We need a focal point! We needed one even with Wesley fit!
If we don't get a couple in any time soon, it will almost be on a par with Garde getting no funding for transfers in the January of his tenure and we know what happened then. Complete surrender to the inevitable.
Talk of players or signings in other positions is almost negligence on the part of the club. Pull your f-cking finger out!
