The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

Alvarez to Man City it seems. Shame we couldn't get him when we were rumored to.

Well they are definitely short of an attacking player or two.

[eamonn]

Hopefully we can get him in 18 months after he's featured in 18 games for them. I won't give-up on the Argentinan Gary Shaw. Damn Tim Vickers for calling him that.

Gerrard today “The players have to accept that I'm going to try to improve this club in every single department, so if someone arrives in your position, you're going have to accept it and fight for game time."

Does Recaro still make their seats on the bench?

I've never quite understood the need for boy racer car seats in the dugouts. They're not designed for comfort are they? They should have big La-Z-Boy recliners instead.

Aristocratic clubs like Villa and maybe Arsenal should have chaise longue’s

Which is exactly as it should be.

A couple of things bubbling away in the background.  So says Mr Gerrard.

Think today emphasised the need for a big, physical defensive midfielder, defending set pieces is a bit scary with only Mings / Konsa tall enough to match up when sides have 3/4/5 6foot+‘ers

It also underlines why Watkins has to start over Ings.

Just saw Rodrigo Betantcur from Juventus linked - not got a clue as never seen him play but 6ft 2. Defensive midfielder sounds good to me

Totally agree with the sentiment about the need for a unit in the centre of the park.  I have no idea who this Juve lad is but hope we sign someone in this position as it is so desperately needed.

How many defensive midfielders do Juventus have? We have also been linked with McKennie.

[jwarry]

Played 45 times for Uraguay and only 24?!?

[Steve67]

No problem with a work permit then?  Linked by someone called Tom Collomosse? Is he reliable?

[LukeJames]

Huge reputation a couple of years ago. I haven't got a clue if he's fullfilling that or not.
