January 2023 Transfer Rumours, Discussions and Done Deals Thread

[Flin5tone]

We've let Archer go out on loan
We've let El Ghazi leave for pittance
We've let Trezeguet leave for nothing
We've sold our top scorer for peanuts to a rival

ALL have more impact from the bench than what we have now

It's shambolic

[Meanwood Villa]

I must admit I assumed we were signing a striker after selling Ings. Bit disappointing if we don't.

The chorus is pretty good, what’s the rest of the song like?

We live in a world of instant gratification - buy someone, do something. If we were in danger of relegation i'd agree we'd ned to act (or probably wouldn't have sold Ings) but we aren't. no need to lumbered ourselves out of desparation. A few positions in the league are indeed worth millions but I'd prefer to dodgy the shitty Europe competition until we are good and ready.

How on earth will we ever be ready if we don't strengthen continually? I don't suppose Newcastle fans are worrying that they won't be ready for the Champions League.

Unless you buy players who are better than the starting 11 you're not strengthening though are you. If those that we've identified aren't gettable then we wait to strengthen till the summer.

Personally I think the talk of Europe is a little fanciful. The teams above us (bar Fulham), I think are all better placed to finish above us. Whether we finish 8th, or 11th won't have any baring on players incoming anyway and IMO that's where we'll be depending on injuries

I would much rather finish 8th than 11th.

Trez is shit
Anwar was very questionable in the prem
The deal for Ings is not pittance given age.

Have seen all 3 of them provide absolutely zero impact from the bench on several occasions.

Everybody would, I'm just saying that the difference most likely won't affect transfers in the summer

Yet they are still preferable to the empty seats that they have been replaced with, if we don't sign anyone tomorrow.

The chorus is pretty good, what’s the rest of the song like?

Archer's out, El Ghazi's gone,
Trezeguet too, it feels wrong.
Sold our scorer, what a shame,
For peanuts to a rival team.

We need some changes, need a plan,
To bring us back to where we stand.
With all these losses, what's to say,
That we'll be back on top one day?

It's shambolic, how we've let them go,
Impact from the bench, we need to know.
Where's the fire, where's the drive,
To bring us back to where we thrive?

So let's bring back the glory days,
And make a change in many ways.
With a new fire and a new drive,
We'll bring back our winning vibe.

We have no idea whether Archer will be good enough. We do know that neither Trezeguet nor El Ghazi are anywhere near good enough.

It is disappointing if no further signings are made in this window, but citing those players as the solution is a bit silly.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

It does make you wonder where the goals will come from. I guess we'll just have to hope everybody chips in but I'd hardly call that a plan.

Yep.  Said it last season that we needed a strong finish to be able to convince players that we are a club moving in the right direction and it's the same again this season.  We finish the season strongly and end up in 8th, I think the club is an easier sell to players than if you struggle over the line and finish lower mid-table.

Finish 11th / 12th / 13th and it's all a bit Crystal Palace really.

We've let Archer go out on loan
We've let El Ghazi leave for pittance
We've let Trezeguet leave
for nothing We've sold
our top scorer for peanuts to a rival

ALL have more impact from the bench
 than what we have now ow ow

It's shambolic and not what we’re dreaming on

Well be there at the end of the road.

I've got the tune to the Coutinho song in my head.
