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

[JUAN PABLO]

Well if he is much better than Bowen he’s some player and I’ve obviously missed something.

Me too. Bowen is doing it in the PL and has done for a good while.

Clearly he isn't, rather like me saying SJM is a better player than De Bruyne.

I assume they meant in comparison to Bowen when he was at Hull, rather than Bowen now.

I have had a team of electricians from Hull fitting out the lighting in my glasshouse for the last couple of weeks. Two of them support Hull (the rest all support Leeds). They reckon he is as good a player as they have had in years, and better than Bowen was before he signed for West Ham.

I’d be happy to take him back next season, but fully understand why we sold him. Similar to when Cahill went to Bolton to get game time.

exactly and the Hull suporter did say Bowen would play for England when he was at Hull

HITC Sevens on Youtube has him as one of the best players in the league and the guy is a Hull fan.

I think the sheff u and man u games were a turning point. We should have won both and if we had we’d still be top. Thats when we blew the title challenge…

kind of agree, we really choked v Sheff Utd not halped by some terrible refereeing but overall we were poor that night

Erm, OK then.

Erm, OK then.

We've lost 2 games since September.

Title challenge blown, Christmas ruined, kids in tears.

Something needs to be done with Diaby he’s clearly not happy at the moment and his performances are dire
It’s quite sad to watch him struggle away and I don’t think giving him full matches when he is playing so badly is doing him any good at the moment
I get the feeling it might be a head thing rather than a feet thing but he’s a waste of a player on the pitch right now he really is struggling badly

For the money spent he's been awful , looks very lightweight , can't retain possession , just a speed merchant really and we don't use his speed . Tough one now as he's cost so much money

All the same things were said about Emi Buendia. Paying top dollar doesn't guarantee anything. Their ability does shine through but sometimes you have to be patient, like with Bailey

[andyh]

Has anybody actually signed anybody in this transfer window ?

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Spurs have signed a centre half, can’t think of anyone else.

And Teeemo.

[Clampy]

We have as well, even if he's not here yet.

We can't and shouldn't have to wait for three years for every top signing to come good. Bailey at least had the excuse of having two years under Smith and Gerrard.

West Ham have signed Kalvin Phillips.

B Munich signed a donkey

[Toronto Villa]

The biggest victims of the shit transfer window are Sky Sports. Clearly Jim White as the writing on the wall and got out
