January 2023 Transfer Rumours, Discussions and Done Deals Thread

Danjumas off to Everton.

[Toronto Villa]

He’s a good player but I like that Emery has said we don’t need another player like him vs getting him in just because he played for his old club. And the player isn’t stupid. It’s a loan with no buy option.

Danjumas off to Everton.

Straight loan and no obligation to buy so despite Unai’s views he could have done a short term job

He’s doing a 6 month audition at Everton.

Chelsea = long contracts = FFP spread over those contracts.

How is that gonna pan out for them? A load of players they can't shift in a couple of years? Won't be able to sign many in future years?

Surprisingly it doesn't look too bad:

My main take away from that very long article is that FFP (whether PL version or UEFA) is not all that. It should be easy to manage for a club. And the cost for being in breach of the UEFA one does not seem like much of a deterrent.

I don't want to hear Villa can't spend due to FFP regulations.

Some suggestion that Troyes want to take Sanson off our hands in their local papers.

We seem immune to FFP anyway. Nothing seems to stop the owners spending what they want.

Let's hope Watkins doesn't get injured today! Then we have zero striker options. I can't believe we're in this situation. There was absolutely no need to rush Ings out the door. A risky gamble that could backfire.

We don’t play again for 2 weeks after today, plenty of time to get other option in.

He's like a stuck record

Frankly it’s bizarre that we’ve sanctioned Ings going without having someone else in the bag. It’s all very well that the money works, but it doesn’t work on the pitch IMO.

I’m clinging to the hope his wages will go on an established goal scorer that ticks all the boxes and makes Ollie a substitute. Rather than spread across numerous players.

If we really wanted him, he'd have come to us, I am sure.  Does make me wonder who we have lined up though. More excitement on the way!

[TonyD]

It’s obvious we need a top drawer striker. 
The problem isn’t money anymore we have that. 
The question is who?  They are very thin on the ground.

Maybe we are confident of not going down or troubling the European places.
