The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

[LeeB]

Just nosing around Brightons forums and they clearly rate Bissouma highly, suggesting he would only move to a much bigger club ( they don’t class in that category 😂).  They seem to think the only reason the big clubs haven’t made their move is because of his impending court case

I had a look at a Brighton forum once, they came across as massively up their own arses, like they were some sleeping giant not just a poxy seaside club that spent years playing at the equivalent of the Sutton running track by Wyndley.

£25-30m from El Ghazi and Trezeguet sales would be an unbelievable performance.

There are always idiots out there, Historically they worked for Villa. Maybe Newcastle will get desperate when they realise nobody worth their salt wants to play for them or Eddie Howe.
I would say 10 each is within the realms of possibility. Anwar maybe 15 because his prem return rate is actually pretty decent

I'd say in the current market El Ghazi has to be worth £15m. I'd still be happy with him here as a back up but now we have Watkins, Ings, Coutinho, Traore, Beundia, Bailey and Bidace for the attacking positions i would sell and use the money for defensive positions. I would offload Trez certainly who you can't help but like (apart from that incident the other day) but is clearly well off the standard for the most part. I think we paid about £10m for him, probably get £7m ish back maybe, not sure what his contract situation is?

Trez will go back to Turkey. Confident we'd get £10m for him. El Ghazi at £15m is a decent price and £5m profit.

So we need a defensive midfielder ex Liverpool Jay Spearing at Tranmere is going to be out of contract in the summer
Do we move this window or wait.

But seriously I do think Villa could still go in for Cantwell.
Available at 15m. Just the sort of energy needed in the squad.

Coutinho needs someone to do his laces?

Get the fuck outta here

Cantwell put in one of the worst, most limp and half arsed performances against us that I've seen all season. Absolute village.

[LeeB]

It was hilariously bad

[Smithy]

It used to be we'd sign players after one good performance against us, and THEN we'd turn them into useless players (Hadji anyone?), so signing Cantwell after THAT performance against us would at least show we're getting more efficient in ensuring they're entirely crap before we even get them to Bodymoor.

Cantwell and Spearing would be good preparation for our tilt at the League 1 title in 2 years.

Footy back and trolling.

Or hairstyle advice?

Don't be so hasty, a 33 year old out of contract ex Blackpool and Tranmere midfielder could be just what we need. I'd imagine we'd be in for some hefty competition for his signature though.

If we can get Cantwell cheap than it would make sense commercially so we can re-brand all the Grealish hair-bands stuck in a cupboard in the shop.

Cantwell ain’t good enough for where we need to move towards. Also it’s not an area we need to fill.
