Winter 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[Demitri_C]

I know alot of people are not keen but if luiZ is available on loan that should be the first signing january 1st.

Didn't Emery rule that out as a possibility recently?

Has he? I havent read  that if that was case. Only thing i saw was Monchi saying he would take him back if available   ( or something  along those lines) shame if thats the case.

I wouldnt pay 50m to bring him.back just yet but if he is available for loan for now id take him. We really aee missing his presence in midfield

If we signed Sarr you'd be moaning your arse off about him within ten minutes of his debut. We need a far better player than him. Sadly those sort of players are rarely available in January so I doubt we will do much business.

If he was playing as badly as philiogene then yes i would. Guess you must accept consistent mediocre performances as thats what we have had from bailey and philiogene? Sarr wouldn't  take much more to be better than those two who have a combined zero goals in the league this year

Fucking Hell DC. The point is you're judging Sarr to be good enough based on a handful of games, which is bollocks. That obviously doesn't mean Philogene and Bailey have been good enough, that's why it was pointless bringing them up. He's got one goal and one assist, let's sign him up!

We need a winger with genuine pace and an ability to get in behind that is patently obvious to everyone. We need a strong, athletic right back, again fairly obvious, and we potentially need a proper, genuine number 10. Add those 3 at a top 6 level player, we're going to fly second half of the season.

I think the winger and the 10 relieve so much pressure off the back 4 if you get them right but also off the current forwards too.

We need to stop playing fixtures like we're in the vinegar strokes of a marathon. High press teams are having a field day against us and it pisses the fans off because we look so half-arsed.

Its not bollocks its a matter of opinion. I would rather have sarr than philiogene based on what he brings in terms of pace and under emerys coaching his game could go next level. He breaks like diaby does. Tell when you have seen philiogene do that?

This 100%.

Do you genuinely believe we have the capacity to make these types of signings?
Even if those type of players were available.

Rogers in form can play 10. It’s the lack of a winger that’s creating the issue because opposition can basically swarm Rogers. If we had a more effective outlet out wide that couldn’t happen.

Bailey doesn't need 3 on him as he did at times last season either. Rogers has no space, and when Tielemans plays it quickly to him there's no chance for anyone to catch up.

[ozzjim]

Rogers can't play 10 yet. He's too wasteful on the ball too often. Had he picked the right time to play the ball we'd be miles ahead of where we are. For me he has to play wide for a while, or be a cameo sub. We need an in form forward that commits defenders to take the pressure off everywhere at the moment.

I think one of the problems with Morgan is that he's not really that quick, and neither are any of his team mates. So for all his strength and skill on the ball, he's just not getting away from players, and opposition players have worked out that if they don't dive on him, a lot of the time he'll give the ball away of his own volition.

Its more his decision making than pace that is the problem also that he looks knackered is not helping.
He needs time out to get his sharpness back.

I'm off to converse with a wall.

I think there are much better players than Sarr and Philogene out there. Philogene needs a much longer run to get confidence though.

When you look at what Forest picked up Elanga and Odoi for it was incredible business, but they are knitted together by Gibbs White, who is the type of 10 we need. Rogers would be fine on the left. Smart buying this Jan we'll be fine.

It's hard (but not impossible) to bring that standard of player in in January. We needed to do much better in the summer.
