January 2023 Transfer Rumours, Discussions and Done Deals Thread

[Beard82]

I know he is quality but is he really what we need right now ?

One of the best young players in the world to take the place of Ings or Watkins?

Nah, hard pass from me.

Me too. Let's get some more Championship players in.

Bring Davies back from loan instead

[Sexual Ealing]

Stefan de Vrij, possibly.

Now that’s the quality we should be looking at, get Skriniar off them too and that’s our CB issues sorted for a few years.

I love these rumours - where I pretend to have a clue if these people are actually any good or not

He's decent.

We've been linked with him three or four times in the past.

Emery wants Pau Torres bigtime

Ooh, interesting. I did wonder if those links were just 2+2 with his ex-players.

I know he's not been at his best this season, but I think having Coutinho might help get some of these bigger transfers over the line. Having him and a big name manager like Emery sends a bit of a signal that we mean business.

Kamara signing was a bit of a statement too because of the teams he turned down to join us.

That would be Mings moving on then.

Or Konsa, or Chambers.

Mings would still fetch a good fee, so would go some way to balancing the books. Good a player as Mings is, I am not convinced he is well suited to playing out from the back. Ditto Konsa. If we move them on for decent fees then it is probably for the best for all parties.

Torres or DeVries paired with Carlos is on paper at least a strong pairing.

[OCD]

Just thinking that Mings might not be happy becoming a squad player. I know that's probably true for Konsa too but Pau Torres (and I think DeVries) being left footed then the emphasis is on Mings.

Thank you Mr Gerrard.

I always think of Mings as the rock within our squad, a player who got called up to England while with us, and who I want us to build around.

That said, it just occurred to me that, come January, he will have been with us four years. That is fine service by any standard.

While I would rather he stayed, I can understand that we are coming into a new era now. Similar to 1995-96, some favourites may need to move on as part of that.
