gdm Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Just now, jack j said: Was never expecting much this window tbh Probably won't see much in the summer with these daft rules either Shite compared to the buzz of those first 3 or 4 transfer windows Think someone will go in the summer just to get funds to fresh things up. Thinking it may be Barnes or Bruno Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I’m starting to feel like not much will happen. January windows were always difficult but with these ridiculous PSR rules it’s pretty much killed the January window anyway. Unless there’s someone who suddenly becomes available it feels like it’s going to be difficult to do anything significant without putting us into a situation where we’re forced to sell before June 30th or whenever it is to avoid a points deduction.

Thinking it may be Barnes or Bruno I don’t think Barnes will sit on the bench forever and Bruno might well stay if we have champions league. That said if we won the league cup he might feel like “job done” and then move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like him, but he's another who is gonna petrify us if a team pumps loads of crosses into the box (same with Trafford). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoU Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 On 08/01/2025 at 01:15, Stottie said: There are many examples of players who didn't get a proper chance at Chelsea, like Salah and de Bruyne, or if you prefer, Hall and Livramento. Their current star is someone who didn't get a chance at Man City. There are some great ex City players out there. Antony is ex Man U, and has been given dozens of games without producing. There are not many examples of brilliant ex Man U players. Chelsea sign or train good players but don't make the most of them. Man U's recruitment and academy are nowhere near Chelsea's. That's a good point. Chelsea are a lot more about carpet recruitment of young talent, so of course ends up with a lot of good players, which they don't use. Recently, Elanga and Wan-Bissaka has shown they are still good players, despite not making it at Man U. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) 10 minutes ago, The Butcher said: Oh wow ... Love the sound of that. Think he'd work well in the current Howe team. Slotting him in on that right side with Bruno would be very very dangerous, with Bruno's through balls and Malen's runs in behind and goal threat. Would be another option upfront too, and would rather him up there than Gordon. Edited January 9 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 So Villa paid £13.5m for Jaden Philogene, played him twice and then sell him for £20m? Great business. I'm guessing that funds the deal for Malen then. Shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Diaby they miss. They got their money back straight away, but going to spend season after season (if not window after window) chasing someone to give what he gave, and in the end be worse off for it.

Nucasol Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 However: The Magpies do not go all-in yet. As BILD learned, Newcastle has a different solution for the offensive on the fishing line. However, if this deal does not go through, Malen is the ideal substitute candidate. I like the idea of our incoming right winger being hooked like some marlin off Robson Green’s Extreme Fishing.
