January 2023 Transfer Rumours, Discussions and Done Deals Thread

KEA?! Was that the Lambert signing in midfield? Thanks, my mind had learned to erase some of the shite from that era...

I guess it's a but like what my wife has to remind me when I'm confronted with the Yellow Sticker section of the supermarket - "It's only a bargain if you know what you're going to do with it".

He could be:

A pack of mince: Tremendous value that saves you money elsewhere. Works wonderfully as part of a bolognase that evening, with more leftover for lunch the following day.
A sausgae roll: Fills a gap - okay to eat on the way home and you can prepare something that you really want.
Crème fraîche: Yeah, it looks like an absolute bargain, and you may have all these amazing ideas in the shop, but you need to get real - you're going to be looking to get rid of it before long, and nobody is going to want it, even for the 20p that you spent on it.

He'll be a pair of Lonsdale karate shoes, with a vastly over inflated RRP making the offered price appear seductive to those stupid enough to bite.

[Toronto Villa]

Maybe though the reason he's so cheap is because he's really shit? Like, I'm sure we could bring Scott Hogan back pretty cheaply too.

21 league goals in 30 games for Lyon last season would suggest he isn't shit anyway. Obligatory YouTube highlights suggest hes more of a penalty box type striker, so the worry would be are we swapping Ings for a younger Ings. Then again youtube highlights suggested KEA was a world beater.

He scored some nice goals last year but yeh, they did include some penalties to pad the stats. Mind you that’s always overlooked when it comes to lavishing praise on Wor Alan or Kane.

Still think we will see 2/3 in by close of window

Wide player
Striker
CM (depending on sanson going)

Some rumours Chelsea want Cash, if so i wouldn't rule that exit out for big money

[Smirker]

Chelsea have spent 400m since that American took over. He needs to chill out.

If we were offered 50m for Cash like as has been speculated then I'd take it.

After Young who is our next RB? KKH?

[clash city rocker]

The way Chelsea  are throwing the cash about in desperation  I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't considering another mad bid for someone like Kane.

[Ger Regan]

It's like a fucking supermarket sweep with them. Doesn't seem to be much in the way of strategy to it beyond that.

[Smirker]

Just signed Madueke for €35m. Their owner hasn't got a clue what he's doing. He is aware you can only play 11 players at one time isn't he?

[chrisw1]

Dembele's goal record is quite prolific.  At 26 I'd have thought you'd make a bit on money on him even if he's only a filler for a couple of seasons.  I'm sure he'll want wages to reflect his cheap fee, but even so it doesn't look like terrible business to me?

[Martin Carruthers]

At least Chelsea are definitely complying with FFP.

[ozzjim]

£50 for Cash... Mad money. Have to take it. Also have to sign a right back smartish.

I wouldn't downplay a striker who scores penalties. It's good to have a reliable penalty take who you can be pretty confident will score.

He's like Barry Fry, but with serious money.

Yeah, can't quite see him having to remortgage his house to put money into the club!!
