January 2023 Transfer Rumours, Discussions and Done Deals Thread

[Villafirst]

Selling Ings in January without a proper replacement would be stupid.

West Ham were linked to Duvan Zapata and En-Nesyri before this Ings news, both would be decent short term loan options.

Isn't Duran playing in an under 20 tournament in next few weeks? Ollie limped off v Leeds but I presume he's o.k for Southampton.

I can't see anything happening with Ings for another week-10 days. There's no rush to sell him until we sign a replacement.

Also get the feel this is a board signing for West Ham. If they don't beat Everton then Moyes will be sacked and I can see them putting Dyche in, he worked with Ings at Burnley.

Plus Archer has been loaned out. I thought that was risky especially when Watkins came off with an ankle problem against Leeds. We need to strengthen our striker options.

Although let's be honest, you were panicky last week because we sold a youth team player who hadn't kicked a ball for the first team.

I doubt we will go with just Watkins and 19 year old from the US League for the rest of the season. We'll either keep Ings or have a replacement lined up.

We were linked with that Moffi who apparently doesn't wan to go to West Ham a couple of weeks back. Wonder if we are in for him and Ings to West Ham sweetens it. Looks much more like the sort we need up front.

West Ham taking our cast offs and us signing players that don't want to play for them is the correct order of things.

I don't think we will sell unless we have somebody lined up to replace him.

Agreed, Darren. I've just seen these Ollie stats and a link to Moffi. It would be crazy not to bring in a replacement.

In the Premier League this season, the former Brentford centre-forward has struggled in front of goal. He has scored three times in 18 appearances in the top flight and averaged a dismal Sofascore rating of 6.66 – placing him 19th in the squad – whilst missing nine ‘big chances’ so far.

This shows that he is struggling at the top end of the pitch and that is why there could be scope to improve the team in that position by signing a new number nine this month.

Absolutely, should be expecting someone in before the weekend.

Bye Danny

Not to worry, we’ve still got the runner !!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

My guess is West Ham were after Moffi, he's turned them down for a move to the Villa, they got wind of it and came in immediately for Ings.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

It’ll be a great pick up for West Ham.

[ozzjim]

Brilliant signing for West Ham to be fair in their position. Will get 8-9 between now and end of the season. Hope we have a staying up add on.

That's what I am hoping for.

Absolutely,
 I could never understand why Leeds were never in for Ings he’d have probably guaranteed them staying up
They’re desperate for a goalscorer and they create great plenty of chances

[Chris_Jephcott]

We’d better have a replacement lined up for Ings.
