Toon No9

Let's not waste any more time on Diego Carlos. Next!

I have no doubt our new owners will get this right in the end. The big problem in this window is our league position, that our previus owner is to blame for. That combined with that many clubs are not interested to sell in january. It would have been much easyer to build a squad in the summer. That's the time of the year every team is looking too improve or change their squads. If we only can survive this season...

I'm surpriced we're not being linked to more bargain deals. Every player we sign can't cost £25M or more. Must be many players available for £3-10M. Thinking of players like Ginter, Azmoun etc... If we can get 3-4 players from that bracket in + a couple of loan deals it could be enough to survive this season.

Why are we trying to sign players that cost £40-50M? Thoose deals almost never gets done in january and always takes time to get done. I'd rather we go for cheaper players who can keep us up and then, if we stay up, go for the bigger deals in the summer. The cheaper players then shows to be either good enough or will become squad players next season. I think it's best to take it step by step and the first step is to avoid relegation this season.

Matthias Ginter linked again. Seems to be available for around £4M! 28 years old tomorrow and have over 40 caps for Germany.

So, nothing new today? Just alot of monitoring...?

I wonder if the reason he didn't want to loan the movie was because he had already seen it or if he just wasn't interested to see it?? Surely can't just been because of the position it had on the table?!?

I would like to see us move for Kamara and/or Fofana. Thoose two would solve much of our problems.

Up the offer now!!!

Demand £50M for Schar and bring Botman in!?

I think Milenkovic would be a good signing. A central defence of him and Botman could be very good for years to come. And maybe it would be easier to get Vlahovic in the summer. Bet they are good friends as they're both serbian and plays for Fiorentina.

Dummett's also back. Maybe Dummett could start at LB and Lewis to come on when Dummett gets tired. Probably too soon though for Lewis.

So who's next? If we sign a foreign player who doesn't already play in Brittain, he must have a work permit. Wouldn't that take a few days/a week? Hard to see him play on saturday then.

LB must be a priority now. Who except Digne and Tagliafico has we been linked too? Anyone heard someting?

Has been traveling for at least 3 hours now. How far is it from Burnley to Newcastle? Do we have anyone waiting outside the training ground?

Maybe we're doing what AC Milan did in the 90s? Weakening the rivals by buying their best players and put them on the bench.? Wood, Cantwell...

Many players linked now. Would really love to see Darwin Nunez here. Others that seems exciting: Gleison Bremer Steven Bergwijn (on loan) Seko Fofana Still hoping for Sven Botman. Seems a no-go but maybe a new improved bid later in the window?

Nunez for me.

I see we're linked to David Neres from Ajax. Maybe time to put in a package deal for him and Tagliafico?

Yeah, and I'd put young Stephenson on the bench. Could be worth putting him on for the last 20 minutes when Gayle gets tired.

Arthur Cabral of Basel would be a good signing for us right now.

We don't even give our own bairns a chance. Would be more excited to see Anderson, Stephenson or White get a chance in our team.

£30M for a kid that's not even played 30 senior matches? Who sets theese prices??‍♂️ Never heard if him.

Why do we bother putting in bids for players when their clubs doesn't want to sell? Don't we check this before we put bids in? We must get players in NOW!

Ok, we'll palm down for a while.
