The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

[rob_bridge]

Will be interesting to see how Dele Alli fares at Everton. Not jeal, we didn't need him. He might well go the Aaron Lennon way, from Spurs dazzler to outcast to Toffee water-treader.

A cross between Ross Barkley and Danny Drinkwater would be my guess

Dele Alli is utter shit. And apparently £40m with add on proves Everton have learned nothing at all. Good fucking grief. Just imagine if that was us right now.

[Small Rodent]

Not sure we should be in for Bissouma regardless, given his legal issues.

I’m still very uncomfortable about this in all honesty.

Lets not forget he has been banned from driving for speeding not once but twice. That's a good flicker of the twatometer for me.

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

I put SSN on earlier just in time to hear Merson say Dele Alli to Everton could be the greatest transfer ever made in January. I turned it straight off.

Tell me more of this Toffee water you speak of.

40m for Alli is mental.

It's similar to animal food trough water.

I'm not entirely sure why, but I quite like Dele Alli and think he could well become a good player again, given a new start.  £40 million though would be some gamble.

[LukeJames]

Are there any examples of a player being shit for 3 years and then re-discovering there form again?

I could understand it if it was just one manager, like Mourinho who'd he'd fallen foul of, but it's been the last three.

[sickbeggar]

It gets funnier. 2 and a half years with the first 10m paid after 20 games. So its basically a free transfer.

[Gerrin]

None that I can think of, he couldn't care less anymore, complete waste of money.

This is the guy on the Amazon Spurs doc when asked by one of the staff if he'd learnt to do anything in lockdown. Replied yeah I learnt how to cook beans. He meant baked beans in a microwave.

Hopefully Coutinho.

[Jon Crofts]

Wasn't Dele Alli the originator of that ridiculous hand signal over the eye thing? Absolute chopper.

[Smithy]

Isn't it "up to £40m"? For Alli? I read somewhere that the first £10m doesn't even kick in until he's had about 10 first team appearances.  If it turns out he's shit, I don't think he'll cost anywhere near that much, but it's still a pretty bold gamble - especially as he'll be on pretty good money.  It's not like Lampard had long to do anything, so I suspect this has been done out of desperation.
