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

[PaulWinch again]

The Athletic article above talks about the possible need to sell a first-teamer. Whilst that is speculative, I'd rather we called in on McGinn as opposed to Kamara or Luiz - if we had to. Hope it remains just that: groundless speculation.

more bollocks from The Athletic

Presume it was bollocks from Unai when he said the same thing in his press conference yesterday?

It might be ballpark correct, but I don’t think it’s that specific. I doubt we’ll be selling players we’re keen to keep and see as an integral to the first team, unless the offers are obscene and we think we can replace at a net gain.

[IFWaters]

Ndidi's contract runs out in the summer. Might be worth signing.

Yep, think we will be looking at free transfers again similar to Tielemans & Kamara

If it’s players of that quality I’m all for it.

Yes Ndidi.

except he didn't say that at all

He absolutely did but he didn’t put names on it for the sensationalism a journalist would

"We are trying to keep to financial fair play while holding on to the best players in our squad," Emery admitted. "But of course we are not closed off to selling someone if a very good offer comes in.

So he didn't say it all . Every club is open to good offers . Every player is for sale at the right price, it's always been that way.

So he did say it, a journalist embellished it with a name but it was far from ‘bollocks’ as you called

Don't, they'll start arguing over who looks better dressed as a dame next.

In the summer Bailey enters his final year & Luiz will have 2 years left. If we can't reach an agreement on extensions & good offers come in, then we will cash in.

Whatever happens I trust the owners & Emery to make the right decisions. We are building something & we may have to sacrifice some players to continue building.

I think the points deduction for Everton may have made clubs more cautious.

Everyone now play the game stick to the rules and then ask what are you doing about Manchester City?

[N'ZMAV]

If we're going to sell a first team player then I reckon it may be Digne.

[N'ZMAV]

I don't really class Dendoncker, Traore or Chambers as a first-teamer

[Beard82]

I could see us selling Cash, Digne, Duran, and 1 of Luiz, McGinn or Ramsey.  I could see us may good profits from those.

Not necessarily all of them, but 1 or 2 wouldn't shock me.  I wouldn't be too fussed with cash, digne or duran.  I would be gutted with the any of those midfielders, but I wouldn't be shocked.

[AV84]

I think it would depend on who we're trying to bring in and how much that would cost. Selling one Luiz might pay for 3 players. Selling Durán, Donk and Digne might only cover 1.
