January 2023 Transfer Rumours, Discussions and Done Deals Thread

[Dante Lavelli]

The fact we don’t need Guendouzi, yet Emery seems determined to sign him makes me want him.

Can we have an embargo on man buns because any one who has one is a complete wanker.

[VILLA MOLE]

Does anyone on here have a man bun?  feels a bit mean digging them out 😳😃

It's probably better to be a complete wanker than one who can't complete when you think it through.

Nonetheless, we should have learnt our lesson with the Lansbury Experiment.

Aye, our central midfield options are fine - for the most part. I never viewed Sideshow Bob at Marseille as a priority. If there's a deal to be done, fine. But we shouldn't be panicked into owt.

Up top Ollie has no excuse now as he's the main man again for the foreseeable. Duran has the opportunity to grab a few sub appearances between now and the end if the season - and maybe start a few, if he shows enough promise (I'd have been happy enough with Dembele as cover but he could be after crazy money with his contract situation).

We are light on wide options to stretch teams though, as Buendia and Coutinho aren't those sort of players. Ramsey as a stop gap, maybe. But it's a waste having him out there.

Bertrand Traore.?

I’ve got more chance of knotting my eyebrow hair into a bun than what’s on my head.

I’m 40 years old and my dad had one until about 2 months ago

[pablo_picasso]

I’d go back for Sarr.

yep

Im starting to wonder if that phone call Gerrard had with him before cancelling our previous deal had nothing to do with Sarr & everything to do with Gerrard wanting rid of all of our wingers because he was shit at his job... I would take him at Villa. Very dangerous player...

On occasion... 

Chicago is right. I am a bit of a wanker too...

I reckon I could get a bit of the Princess Leia thing going with what sprouts out of my ears these days.

Very dangerous indeed if you’re in the gays.

Ramsey has looked massively more effective coming from wide in Emerys games so far.

[Dave]

Is there any truth in links to Jack Harrison or more his agent trying to get a new deal for him? For 20m or so he would be a good punt.

Given he's about half as good as the winger we have on loan in Turkey, about three-quarters as good as the winger we sold to PSV in the summer because we didn't want him, and about half as good as the sort of player you could buy from the continent for £10m, why on earth would spending £20m on a player who isn't good enough for Leeds be a good punt?

Short of buying Ings back for £8m more than we just received, I can't think of a worse way to spend £20m to be honest.

16 PL goals in open play over last two seasons would suggest Harrison is a fair bit better than either Trez or AEG. Send on a list of players "from the continent" that you could get for 10m instead.

Given Leeds spent £4m on a teenager who was playing in Switzerland because they thought he'd be better than Harrison is a pretty solid clue that spending five times that amount on the bloke they were trying to replace, would be a pretty Martin O'Neilly thing to do.

Apparently he was the most attractive looking player when he was with us

Although I do think we are still above average when it comes to players full of gorgeousness
Mings, Cash, Konsa, Luiz, Ramsey (my 17 year old daughters favourite) Watkins, Buendia, could all make it onto the catwalk no probs

I honestly think that’s the reason we sold Target to Newcastle, he just couldn’t compete with a pretty boys
