Manxst Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Are people confusing ‘links’ with ‘reported bids’? There have been plenty of CM links, including over the last few days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Tbh it feels like there is no priority right now. Since we bid for Wood there's been nothing concrete, that's nearly a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Hard to tell with CM/DM. We have been linked with quite a few to be fair, just zero concrete bids reported. Certainly far more CM links than Left Back or Wingers. I feel like the rumours of us having a big marquee target in mind could be true. Could be they are waiting to be convinced to come by us getting the other targets in? Or we could just not be that arsed about getting a CM. lol PEA sent back to Arsenal from AFCON. He will be assessed by Arsenal club staff for recovery from Covid and the Heart Lesions found in the subsequent scan. If he gets fit again quickly those rumours might pick back up. Hopefully he is on the mend. Scary sounding stuff though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awaymag Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I thought the amount of links in the 1st two weeks of the window was mental however today has just gone into absolute overdrive. Time to tune and wait for something concrete to emerge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 We need another forward tbf to take the pressure off ASM. But a CM should be taking precedence here. Throw money at Marseille and Kamara. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Proposal for the summer? Aye, let’s just stop any transfers for the January window. We should have more than enough quality to not only stay up but make a late run for Europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Sky Sports reckon a lot of clubs are looking at Fenerbahce's Hungarian CB, Attila Szalai, and the fee to get him out of there is £15-20m. Left footed as well, that seems doable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 We should have got a CB in long ago! It's ridiculous that we still aren't any closer to signing one when it's obvious to all that we lack so much in that department. Need 1 atleast by Leeds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OoOGazOoO Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Let's play a game. You get to list 3 footballers. If they get linked with us tomorrow, you win a Freddo & a Bag of Beef Space Raiders - I will finance this myself. Disclaimer: They can't have already been one of the 1,573,853 players linked to us this January transfer window. Do your best! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Time is ticking away. We are absolutely desperate for another 2 this week, if we are to get something at Leeds and avoid the drop. It's not a criticism of the owners. January is tough, they are clearly trying but time is of the essence. I know the debate is "we need this," or "we need that", but IMO what we need is a catalyst. We need someone who comes to us and hits the ground running like Willock did or like Lingard did at West Ham. Once the team gets that boost and lift which it needs, we have a chance, albeit small, to string a few results together. It seems fanciful right now but if we could get a run of 2 wins and a draw out of any 3 games coming up we give ourselves a chance but we need that player to come in and change our fortunes.

ToonScotman Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 More and more I think about it the more I like the idea of Jason Knight from Derby. They’ve got 10 days or they are out the game. Give them say 4/5 million that’s a big game changer for them. He instantly improves our team in middle of the park and for a small price compared to others we are linked with. I want the big names as much as anyone else but 1 or 2 relatively lower expectancy signings turn out the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 It appears the recipe for survival is basically: More defenders = less goals conceded More strikers = More goals scored Is it just me or is that not the most basic interpretation of how football works? What about the midfielders?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
