Now That's What I Call Transfer Rumours! 7

[The Prophet]

While wages probably aren't that high. Getting the likes of Ritchie, Shelvey, Hendrick and Wood of the books will help.

We’re building for the future, you don’t let Wood go and don’t back fill, good god I hope not. 
 

You can hope that Wilson stays fit but, it’s unlikely, you could also put Jo up front and hope he’s magically turned into a natural centre forward and finisher.

 

We’re surely not that club anymore. I’ll be very disappointed if a replacement, one for the future by all means, isn’t brought in.

 

As much as I love Wilson, he’s not going to be the future.

[SUPERTOON]

Was it just after the summer window that it was reported no premier league clubs were willing to do us a “favour” by loaning us players ? I can’t see this changing this window so any wood replacement will be from abroad (if we do replace him).

[Joey47]

Haven't seen any rumours but I hope we go for Mohammed Kudus, can cover up top and maybe wide forward too? Also could play in Willocks current role really well.

I think that was massively overblown tbh. These people are business people. 

[The Prophet]

The plane nonces are giddy about a Netjets private flight (we've used them for a couple of signings) coming in from Dortmund.

[gdm]

Imagine the wood replacement to a young lad willing to sit behind Wilson and isak unless they do down the wide forward route

[Nine]

Bellingham it is then

 

Or Moukoko 

 

Lol

[Guest reefatoon]

Probably both

Only Dortmund player we've been linked with this January is Moukoko right? 

 

 

[r0cafella]

Moukoko seems unfathomable but I just can’t see Eddie letting Wood go without someone coming in….

[Joey47]

But Moukoko has 6 months left on his contract right? So he wouldn't be signing until the summer if we did get him.

No, you pay a fee to get him right away. It’s actually perfect because most clubs would want to hang on and get him on a free.

That one we can rule out.

Unless Dortmund decide to try and bring something in for him now rather than lose him for a tribunal set fee in the Summer.

Yeah just that the links suggested we were going to compete with Chelsea to sign him on a pre contract for Summer.

 

It might have changed given that we seemingly have a way to get Wood off the books this Jan and we know our owners are flexible.

Come on man!

 

Nobody on here gets sarcasm at all. Or reads all the posts, skim readers.

 

I'll stick with, Diaby or Maddison/Moukoko 

 

In that order.

What’s the squad number situation? How many spaces are free? Could we be letting wood go to bring in a midfielder or is there already room?

I feel like that shouldn't be an option... like, they saw Joelinton up front, right? 

 

I think he's a fantastic player in his current role(s), and no doubt his new found confidence and training would help him if he's asked to play up front, but I don't think anyone should be looking to play him as a lone centre forward for any amount of time.

 

What was the system we played the couple of games when Wood was out? Joelinton scored two at Norwich in one of them? Difference between him playing there week-in, week-out with no confidence to the odd instance in an emergency when he's playing well with bags of confidence.

I think we're at 26 currently with Dubravka back (Gillespie, Krafth excluded)

[Ben]

The transfer team are keeping the deals very close to their chest, nothing of substance in any media outlet today.

[Cronky]

Moukoko looks a bit similar in profile to Kuol, although obviously he's ahead in his development.

 

Re the plane, maybe we're just bringing him in for a look round, trying to sell the club to him.

Feel like clubs very rarely do that as it almost always gets out. There are too many people that work at the ground/training ground for someone like Moukoko to be able to have a look about without it getting out there. If that jet has anything to do with us/Moukoko I imagine it will be a delegation from here going out to talk with his people and Dortmund.
