OrangeKhrush Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 It has been a bit of a surreal ride, haven't had this level of excitement for anything football related in the club since that 2012 season. Deadline day may throw up another surprise or two. All things considered we may not want to fall into the Everton trap.
Honey Honey Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 48 hours to go to get 3 more in the door. This is the point where someone caves and takes the money or we cave and overpay excessively.
OrangeKhrush Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 sporting rejected a 25m bit for inacio, can see us go all in there and for bakker. maybe barce will loan us dembele with option to buy
OrangeKhrush Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 7 minutes ago, Honey Honey said: Dan Burn comes home FBref has him in the top 10 percentile on key stats like defensive headers won, interceptions, blocks and tackles. He is a player for the now not long term but a smart signing nevertheless. We need the best of him for this season and next year, by then he will likely be replaced by younger. 13 million is chump change as well.
Waylander Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 If true a good signing and is now looking like they are buying sensible players to raise their level and think it will be enough for them to stay in the premier league. Bad news for the likes of Burnley.

Bad news for the likes of Burnley. I agree, the level between 20th and 10th is very close and it looks like ourselves and Villa are making moves to get out of that. Nobody in the bottom half is safe and a good run now takes us out the mess. We may end up with 5 or 6 new signings which is more than I really anticipated. FFP rules make it impossible for us to do a Chelsea or City but we do have some room to play with, maybe the only good thing Ashley did for us by not spending any money. Deadline day is going to be exciting.
Honey Honey Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Ekitike and Matt Target looking likely this morning.
OrangeKhrush Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 7 hours ago, Honey Honey said: Ekitike and Matt Target looking likely this morning. Ekitike has cold feet as I do about spending 25m on a kid that looks about 50kg soaking wet. He may very well be the next Henry but the premier league is a big gamble on a kid with 20 games in his career all in a league were defending is optional.
Storts Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Fair play to Ekitike, about time we had a player come out against the Saudi regime.

Subscriber Dan+ Posted February 1, 2022 Subscriber Posted February 1, 2022 Actually think that's a decent enough window. Think there's a couple of overpayments in there but survival is the aim this season and you fly from there, and I think they've done enough this window to keep themselves up. Guimaraes is a proper signing. That's the kind you have to be excited for.

Honestly, that's the kind of profile I hoped we'd go for when Tielemans goes this summer. It's a really good signing, think your others are a bit of a mix, enough to keep you up which is the objective really, but he's the first potential top player of this era and I thought you were more likely to go for a Coutinho.

Is that confirmed? I can see a whole lot of clubs being interested. Could replace Modric at Real Madrid. Man Utd would definitely be looking for someone in that position with Pogba leaving as well. Still only 24, seems like he's been around forever.

Nothing confirmed but it's increasingly likely. But he really could make it at any of the biggest clubs. Just hope we get a good enough fee for him. He's been around since 16! Made his CL debut for Anderlecht then.

Bluewolf Posted February 2, 2022 Posted February 2, 2022 This is just taking the piss... Frankly I think football has been ruined by this takeover... Newcastle owners basically hoovering up any player that can walk in a straight line for 2 minutes without falling over clutching some part of their body.. I understand they even took on extra carpenters to start work on a new trophy cabinet as well which shows you how reckless and wasteful they are being with the money.. Won't be long before they have a Madrid/City style line up full of mega rich signings and the Magpies are stealing points from teams in their inevitable climb up the table as their behemoth gets underway... Somebody needs to do something before they out muscle us from our hard earned elite top 4 positions..
Administrator Stan Posted February 2, 2022 Administrator Posted February 2, 2022 Ironic that a Chelsea fan says football has been ruined by this takeover, as if nothing happened when Abramovich took over all those years ago...
