2024 January transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

[OCD]

Targeting a young goalkeeper this window or next, according to Emery.

Might tie in with Marcshall going back out on loan and Olsen departing in the summer.

The young lad Sam Tickle at Wigan is a highly rated and is apparently very good with the ball at his feet too…would make sense though I’d suspect a young Spanish keeper might have been on Monchi radar for longer

A lot of Monchi's signings for Sevilla were from France.

And presumably selling all your homegrown talents will make Europe competitions more difficult.

It is being reported in Italy that we have had a bid accepted for Ngonge, according to Tuttomercatoweb.

Haha! Just listened to a scouting report on him on Love of Paul McGrath podcast. Sounds promising.

Football Italia reporting that the club agreed a deal with us but the player would prefer to go to Fiorentina. €10mil is the fee, apparently.

10m euros or £9m?  Going to Fiorentina rather than the Prem?  Well I'm not sure which I would choose XD

It's nothing personal, he just really likes cow stomach sandwiches.

€10mil is what the article says. Apparently they picked him up on a free last January, so it's all profit, I guess. Maybe he just likes life in Italy, and it's a step up, club wise.

Another left footer? Are we going for a record?

According to the pod I referenced above, he’s had chances to move to bigger clubs where he won’t necessarily play, but has knocked them back for clubs where he’d be in the team. So that could be his thinking here.

[LeonW]

If true, could this mean sending Zaniola back?

Who can blame him, they're delicious. I guess the other reason is minutes. We already have two right sided wingers. Tidy feet though.

They are good but, after a while...I don't know, you feel strange is all I can say.

Ngonge is a bit too N'Zogbia or Nokia N-Gage for me.

Have a little look at this
