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

If we are talking about Shed Seven this must have become the free transfer thread

I wouldn't mind if it were a Chelsea transfer thread as that's what they need to do.

Romano now saying the fee for Nedeljkovic is some way below the reported £6.6m, that it's nearly done and that we're looking at making other signings for the future as well.

All sounds positive... 👍

I guess we're not going to be able to sell academy players every summer to bring in 30 or 40 million. Buying already mostly developed youth from elsewhere is like adding another layer of potential income in the short term. Best case scenario some of them actually become really good first team players.

I agree with Lee on Shed Seven. "Landfill indie" indeed!

I'd worry if he's the back-up for right-back that we all think we need? I can't imagine Unai is planning to use him much in the second half of the season, and certainly not to step in and play regularly if Cash or Ezri got injured.

I could be wrong, and hopefully he turns out to be another Tino Livramento.

He's not planning on using him at all second half mate, we're loaning him straight back apparently.

Didn’t the NME pen the phrase

“You can’t get shitter than a thick Rick Witter”

I’m actually a fan of the band though, some decent tunes.

Standby is a ripper

Likely signing of Nedeljkovic…Mark my words, he’ll be the Talk of Town. He’s just On Standy right now for next season but I think we’re Going for Gold with this signing. It’s Getting Better all the time.

Rick Witter would get a bigger buzz out of this thread than finally scoring a number one album.

As pointed out he's staying where he is until the summer. I'd imagine he'll come in for pre season and they'll assess whether he can play in the first team or needs a loan spell. If he's good enough to go straight into the first team then great. I wouldn't be surprised to see a more established RB come in in the summer, and Cash's future might depend on how well the young lad does.

Chelsea interested in a short term loan of Durán according to Metro. More than likely there's absolutely nothing in that, but it's really something that Chelsea could believable be interested in loaning the 2nd choice striker at Aston Villa. How the tables have turned.

Shed Seven ? I'd rather listen to S Club 7.
