The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

[mike]

Having a fit Leon Bailey would be like a new signing. As would Bertrand Traore. So I expect them both to be unavailble until August.

Which August are you referring to?

The quest for the Holy Grail looks like a fucking Easter Egg hunt compared to our search for a defensive midfielder. Christ alive.

We have been linked with Bissouma, Doucoure, Bentancur, Kamara *2, Zakaria. I'd take a late loan of Idrissa Gueye at this point.

[Villan82]

Definitive midfield is so important that even a mediocre specialist in there can work wonders for a team. I remember the uninspiring Yacouba Sylla making a difference to our team when Lambert got him in.

We desperately need a defensive midfielder to make our whole team complete.

Look at the effect Nakamba had first few games under Gerrard.

[Astnor]

All in all its a good window for us IMO. The INS and OUTS points to in the direction that Gerrard and the club "knows what they are doing" if I can say so  with my bad English . The DM position though, we still have the Brazilian international in that position , strenghtened with the man from Arsenal and Nakamba there too - aint too bad.

How the fuck are Rangers paying for Aaron Ramsey?

Was wondering the same. He's probably on more at Juventus than close to half of Rangers' squad combined !

I see there is talk in the air about Phillips leaving Leeds this summer.  Wonder if we maybe waiting to throw our hat into the ring?

West Ham-bound after Rice goes to Manchester or Chelsea, would be my guess. 

[Toronto Villa]

I see Aubameyang has pulled a Peter Odemwingie

[Rudy Can't Fail]

The Argentine Gary Shaw has signed for Man City for £14m.

It's still been a very good transfer window, it just feels slightly disappointing that we're apparently done now, save for the exit apparently of Targett.

That's where I am with it. We have a good platform to kick on, but the missing piece could have really helped.

[Risso]

Coutinho and Digne is very good business, but given the choice I'd probably have stuck with Targett and got a new DM in. I think that would have pushed us on a lot more.

[Villa Lew]

Paul Merson has given our transfer window a hit, that's very reassuring for all of us.
