The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

Buendia will surely play mostly wide in the Gerrard 4-3-3 so that's another consistant wide option to add to the mix now.

Think Kent will be more likely for the summer if say we move on El Ghazi.

My understanding is that
SG does not play forwards in wide positions.

They're inside forwards essentially. He plays like Liverpool.

if the wide players play narrow, and the full backs bomb on and provide the width, then we're going to need to be solid in the middle of the park.

We are, but you do that a few ways. Pressing and constricting the space higher up the pitch is part of that.

Smash our transfer record and get Bissouma please. Whatever the cost, he’s worth it.

Unfortunately probably not a realistic target though, as he has said himself he wants to be the best in the world in his position. Pretty sure he will be champions league next season. Oh well, let’s see what January brings.

He could be serving time at her majesty's pleasure.

Huh?

He's on bail after being accused of sexual assault.

Mentioned in post match thread

I wouldn’t consider getting rid of AEG.
A great squad player.
Maybe not a starter for us, but he’s a player who will influence a game when he comes on.
Will always look for the ball, isn’t afraid to take players on and is certainly a goal threat.

[KevinGage]

Don't think we'll be in the market for Bissmouma.

But should definitely be looking at that sort of player.

Denis Zakaria at Monchengladbach, Mangala at Stuttgart and Emre Can at Dortmund (with the inevitable Liverpool/ SG connection) could all fit the bill.

Kamara at Marseille, Thuram or Lemina at Nice if we were feeling brave enough to raid Ligue 1 again.

I feel like El Ghazi could thrive under Gerrard, as he seems to play much better in the channel and around the box. More of an inside forward.

Something in that. He perhaps isn’t quick enough to play as a true wide player but i can see him getting more chances than Dean gave him

[Steve67]

I always thought Emre Can was a good player.

Yup, but slower than glacial melt these days
