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

[Nii Lamptey]

January window for me - Throw money at Man Utd for Wan-Bissaka, ship Duran out (sale or loan) and get Agent Martinez to have a word with Dybala. Done!

AWB is dreadful I think. Carlos Cuellar esque on the ball

AWB was extremely highly rated when Man Utd snatched him off Palace, and he was one of the better players on the pitch when we played them Boxing Day - MUCH better than Cash imo, and he's always mentioned in transfer talk so sounds gettable. I think Unai would bring the best out in him.

[LeonW]

I thought ‘Hendo’ was going to ‘change the game’ in Saudi. That was his main reason for going. He must have done already it if he wants out.

Would be a poor signing. I think we’re also beyond those type of Hollywood signings now.

Wan Bissaka is shit and probably on higher wages than our best paid player.

He'll have helped change it from a league where Steven Gerrard manages to one where he doesn't.

[Lsvilla]

I'd be shocked and disgusted if the best Monchi can do is throw money at Wan Bissaka and Henderson. Hopefully those days are long gone.

He probably needs little help in that regard.

Bissaka ain't joining Villa the week after Yanited have triggered a contract extension. Even if it's just to preserve his transfer value, he won't leave the same window. That shit rarely if ever happens in British football transfers.

Nah it’s quite well known that he struggles on the ball - good defensively, but not going forward. We don’t need that.

[Ads]

He's shite.

[pauliewalnuts]

He's shite.

Is the correct answer.

Nein, danke.

[Dave]

He's obviously not. He's a decent defender who doesn't quite have all the things that the ideal full-back needs.

Which is why he should rinse Man Utd's coffers for another year then tread the Zaha / Clyne path back to Palace while we sign someone a bit better.

AWB is ok if you need someone to pick up the pieces.

Agree.  If teams are going to sit in, keep it tight in the middle and allow us space out wide, then we need an option who can take players on and create things in those areas. 

[Dante Lavelli]

Do we? My hunch is Emery will want a CB/RB rather than an attacking wing-back type.

That’s why Foyth is my prediction but I don’t think we have the FFP headroom.
