The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Nah we don’t sell our captain to the new money boys. Irrespective of what you think of his qualities optically it looks like we’re there for the taking.

[ldavfc4eva]

Of the list there, Brozovic wouldn’t be a bad signing for CM.

Sell Mings for a load to Newcastle and have Christensen

May as well get Insigne and Lingaard too

[richtheholtender]

Don't understand the criticism of mings. He was the best available for the money paid and crucially willing to come to us. We're critising him now on where we are, not where we were when we signed which is wrong. It's like having a League 1 side get back to back promotions then slating them same players for not cutting in the prem just because they've hit their ceiling (exaggerating a point to make a point). All that said, I think he top centre half is now on the lost alongside a top defensive midfielder. I wouldn't go panic stations regarding left back yet bit certainly an area of concern. Surprised that we haven't tried mings there at any point.

[ROBBO]

Stirling would not come to us and Mings would not want to go to Newcastle. Move on.

[sickbeggar]

Sounds like press bobbins. Didn't Mings join us because he couldn't get a game under Howe. If you ask me Newcastle need a marauding enforcer type with the flair to break forward when the opportunity presents itself, so i'm bracing myself for a 70m bid for Marvelous.

[Risso]

Offered anything over £50 it would be very hard to say no you'd think.

A bit harsh but on current form probably right! 😉

Suggestion the other 19 will form a de facto Cartel and refuse to sell to Newcastle.

[sickbeggar]

If they come in for Nakamba I think we should break the picket line.

[Dick Edwards]

Rumours Howe wants Mings. How much would it take for us to sell do you think?

From what I remember Tyrone couldn't get a game for Bournemouth under Howe so I can't see that rumour being true.

Didnt he pick up a bad injury there before he came here on loan?

Yes, he was injured for ages, which is why despite his age he's still relatively inexperienced at this level. It was one of those occasions where you pick up a player higher than your current level because he's either had injury problems in the past, or has fallen out with his current manager or whatever.

I would give that as much as a snowball in hell.

yeah.

"Hi this is Amanda, we're quite interested in buying one of your players"

"I'm sorry, but at the moment with us being in Europe and fighting for CL qualification there is no way we can sanction selling any of our squad. We don't think we have the strength in depth in key positions and furthermore......

"Phil Jones. 5m"

"…..but there's always exceptions. Cash or card?"

Or the opposite, every club should sell their players at a ridiculous price - say £90mil for Nakamba

[Dazvillain]

I’ve read an article somewhere saying that we are currently only a few million away from FFP rules limit so does that mean unless we clear a few out first in January, there isn’t a big war chest for new regime ?
