January 2023 Transfer Rumours, Discussions and Done Deals Thread

[Clark W Griswold]

Our signings from the French league have largely been underwhelming. That said, the most recent one looks very promising and as pointed out this guy played with Kamara last season so they know each other. That Marseille team finished runners up last season and are currently 3rd and Guendouzi does have 7 France caps despite the French tram being rather good and him only being 23. Plus he has a good relationship with the manager so all in all it's as good a shout as any. I did see one report saying the deal might cost 50m euros though so he'd certainly better work out if we're talking that kind of money.

Dont we need a forward player that is, well, not shit? 

I won't pretend that I know anything about these players we are signing - but at some point, we are going to have to "do a goal" if we are to win games?

[villadelph]

John Townley at the BrumMail is saying Marseille want 50m?!

[Clark W Griswold]

Yes, we certainly need a couple of new attacking players. And a centre back. Another centre mid wouldn't go amiss though considering i'm not convinced with any we have outside of McGinn, Luiz, Ramsey and Kamara and 3 of those are inconsistent to say the least.

Are they adding the fee they felt they should have got for Kamara on to the price?

OM MERCATO: MARSEILLE SETS THE PRICE OF MATTÉO GUENDOUZI!

As rumors surrounding a departure of Mattéo Guendouzi intensify, OM have set the price for their midfielder.

This is the big mercato subject of this Wednesday at Olympique de Marseille. While discussions between Mattéo Guendouzi and an English club were revealed by L'Équipe on Tuesday evening, Foot Mercato said on Wednesday morning that the club in question was none other than Aston Villa . Indeed, the leaders of the Villans have started intensive discussions with Mattéo Guendouzi , more particularly the coach of the English club, namely Unai Emery , who knows the French international very well.

The former Arsenal boss is said to be determined to lure Matteo Guendouzi this winter, and RMC Sport soon announced that the Premier League club were ready to make an initial offer of €30m to the Marseille leaders . Faced with pressure from Aston Villa which has continued to intensify in recent hours to enlist Mattéo Guendouzi, Pablo Longoria would have made an important decision in this hot file of the OM transfer window.

OM Mercato: Marseille asks for 50 million to release Mattéo Guendouzi
According to the latest information from the journalist, Ben Jacobs, Olympique de Marseille have set the price for Mattéo Guendouzi . According to him, Pablo Longoria would claim no less than 50 million euros to let go of his midfielder from the winter transfer window. Other information, the leaders of Aston Villa would not intend to formulate an offer greater than 30 million euros, which is therefore well below the expectations of the president of OM.

It is very likely that Pablo Longoria has set a high price in order to calm the ardor of Aston Villa, which has been very insistent in recent hours. However, it has often been proven in the past that English clubs can quickly increase their offer to win their case, and it would be better not to rejoice at Marseille right away . Anyway, Mattéo Guendouzi will be present this Wednesday evening in Troyes, and is still an OM player for the moment.

Nothing worse than being irritated by a very insistent ardor!

[Percy McCarthy]

Always rated him, get him in.

[eamonn]

50mill eur so 44mGBP.

[Toronto Villa]

I reckon we will sign for around £30m with a bunch of add ons. Mind you Marseille are probably still fucked off with us taking Kamara for nothing.

[Mister E]

I wonder whether it's Luiz who might leave if Guendouzi comes in?

[Toronto Villa]

I wonder whether it's Luiz who might leave if Guendouzi comes in?

could it not be a 3 man midfield with Kamara and Luiz? JJ fighting it out for a spot or even a 4 or 5 midfield as needed. Plus we need depth and we need to get past this the strongest team is the same team. I think Emery wants flexibility to change up the starting XI as needed based on the opponent and not have any drop off in ability or attitude.

[Villan82]

Surely it is Dendonker who is the one in bother if we get him.

[Drummond]

Sanson is going to go, so that's the change. It's an obvious upgrade, and means there's more choice in midfield. With him and Moreno we're definitely adding more pace and drive. It definitely seems like we could be getting quicker...

[pauliewalnuts]

We are building a squad not just a team, so it doesn’t always have to be “he comes in so he will have to go”.

Not talking Sanson here btw, he’s clearly offski.
