Varadi Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I'm a fan of Shelvey, but as i think someone mentioned earlier he doesn't really fit into Rafa's preferred style of playing, so if we could replace him with more of a destroyer type to play in a 2 alongside Hayden/Merino then I would be OK with it. Need a replacement before selling though - pretty sure Rafa knows this, and makes any move this window very unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 A few mentions of Sandro on loan from Everton. The £20m striker mystery solved. Loan with obligation to buy in the summer for£20m. Kick that can down the road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 A few mentions of Sandro on loan from Everton. The £20m striker mystery solved. Not really considering the narrative from the Chronicle and Sky Sports has been that we would break our transfer record. We're not going to pay £20m to take someone on loan for 4 months.

thenige Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 "Very frustrating, just couldn't get them over the line." I for one am shocked leaving it this late and bidding well under what a player is worth makes negotiation frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 It's all a pisstake IMO. Ashley and his mates at Sky leading us a merry dance again. The only possible way we bring in someone in the region of 20m is if Mitrovic goes and brings in over half of it. It’s fucking pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 We know how it goes. We will be pressing on, then frustrated, making progress. Then told the other team is wanting to bring a replacement in before selling. Then moving on to other targets, fake sensational last minute bids, go back in for previous player with more derisory bids then the window shuts with deafening silence from the club for the last 12 hours. Next day late on messages of how we tried hard, manager seething, board frustrated they couldn't get targets. Markets is bad and too expensive which makes things hard yada yada. Then a week or two later identifying then monitoring targets for the summer, scouting games for unknown players that never come to light or fruition. Drawing up two lists for stay up or go down. Both lists will then be on hold while contract talks with the manager hang over the clubs head, back to square one as window approaches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Talk of a £20m striker would be a good distraction from the actuality of only signing Kenedy on loan by the end of the window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Regarding Shelvey I may as well just repeat what I said about Mitro, because the point stands for both. Selling any player, when we’re low on quality/options would be ridiculous. Selling the player(s) to a relegation rival would be utterly fucking stupid. Throw into that the obvious fact that these players clearly wont be replaced and it makes it even worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
