The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

The best thing about all this? It’s not Todd Cantwell.

No but what a player to have in reserve if it goes tits up with Coutinho.....

[Nunkin1965]

It could be a pathway for us to get to the top level by signing someone of this calibre.
A positive move for me if it happens and will strengthen our attacking options significantly.

[Scott Nielsen]

We’ve seen Man Utd take these gambles on players at the later end of their career, Sheringham, Cantona and more recently Ibrahimović  and Cavani and no matter their age class just oozes out of these players.

The players you mention were and are highly driven. My fear is that Coutinho great as he has been in the past has gone into cruise mode.

He wants to represent his country in the World Cup. I see no need to worry about his motivation.

[PaulWinch again]

There’s a profile point to this. There’s a real reputational gain if we can attract a player of his profile.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Sounds like it’s done!

Please tell me he’s good on set pieces because we are desperate for that

He is...until now

He’ll learn the art of the long throw from Matty Cash very quickly.

I think people might need to go back and watch a few goals of his from his Liverpool days especially. Anyone can have a hot streak but honestly, not like that. It's the quantity of frankly mad goals, it's beserk. The clean striking of a football like that is something that doesn't leave you age 29, injuries permitting. This is worth a gamble.

He's a Brazilian playmaker mate, of course he is!

I've just had to stop and think for a second. It looks like we're about to sign a Brazilian magician with nearly 70 caps, still in his 20's, from Barcelona.

The only time we got near something like this that I can remember was Juninho, and we were top of the league when we tried that.

[Nii Lamptey]

With all the heat on the Coutinho deal, let’s not forget we could pull in at least a couple more belters too. Could this be our best Jan window ever?

[Des Little]

Is Juninho still locked in Doug’s office?

That Fabrizo fella has said we will definitely be after a left back in addition

[LeeB]

What about that brilliant Italian lad, Spinazzola, that got injured in the summer? He must be fit again by now.

And Roma are shite.

[Nii Lamptey]

Fabrizio Romano and John Percy now reporting it’s pretty much done. Announcement today!
HERE WE GO!!!!
