Kid Icarus Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Can anyone think of an example of a team completely revolutionising their lineup in a January (or any) transfer window and it working straight away? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t remember if it worked ridiculously, but our French influx seemed to do the trick? I recall a win at Villa, that Chelsea game and the Southampton game at home being pretty good.

From memory, there was an Athletic article when the deal had fallen through and it mentioned an interest in both him and Ferran Torres specifically, before they both to City. This + Howe = could have legs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Ake has always struck me as someone who can play well in a 3 or as a full back but struggles as a CB in a 2. Would absolutely have him as a reinforcement, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staveley said they looked, but decided against it. I’ve not seen one article from a genuine recognised source that they are still interested. However, if it did happen (I don’t think it will), then it would raise serious questions about their ownership of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 It's crunch time in terms of how real this all is like. If they start with Trippier then I'll take this all seriously like, it would be an incredible signing for a club in our position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said in the realistic targets thread Lingard and Dembele for the 2 attackers as they've been linked and may well be tempted. However I can see Lingard holding out to go for free in the summer and/or going back to West Ham. Dembele has only been linked once mind so don't know how reputable that is. I agree with your 4 names completely and would be unreal signings, just got no real clue who we can go for for a striker and a winger/attacking midfielder who's realistic.

gazza ladra Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 What is Lingard's motivation to stay? He's not getting minutes, increasingly not even in the squad for Man United in the league. I nderstand that CL football is a draw, but he's not going to start for a CL side. And in any case, he just comes on as a sub to run down the clock. If he really wanted to be at West Ham, why didn't he join in the summer? Seems like West Ham would be his best option, but he's still cagey. I'd certainly have him, but I'd think WH is best for him. Why wait until the summer? Is he expecting a far greater payday? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
