January 2019 window

If Fern doesn't pick up form I can see us signing someone in January regardless of additional cost. Hasn't looked right so far which is fair enough because he's probably absolutely gassed.

Or age and his body are catching up with him either way id agree.

Impossible. Fernandinho is actually a machine under his cool hairless exterior. We just didn't have time to recharge him full what with the world cup and all.

3 months to go.

A maximum of 1 player I think.

Can see up to 3 in the Summer though.

 

[Delphinho]

Ndombele needed

How much do you reckon he would cost bud, I don't know much about him.

If Lyon wanted £70m in the summer they will want £100m in January!!

 

[richards30]

We could possibly get rabiot cheap if we want someone in? Or Thiago maybe?

 

[BlueDejong]

Frankie De Jong, that is all

 

[doobyedoobye]

Zero chance of signing anyone world class in Jan. Can't see PSG selling Rabiot to us either..

 

[Delphinho]

Don't know really. They apparently refused a offer of 44m from us in the summer. They also agreed to sell Fekir for 60m in the summer who's currently their best player by some margin. Ndombele is 4 years younger than him though, so I guess he would cost something between 60m and 75m maybe

Surprises me you'd say such. Not like it would make your name fashionable again or anything. ;)

 

[supercity88]

Rabiot is the only realistic purchase purely because PSG could get some money for him then. Other than that it will be waiting until the summer.

I could see it, he's out of contract in the summer, if we make a good offer, £20m+ then we might have him then

Get Frankie De Jong - if we are going to break the bank.

I think we will try Stones in a defensive midfield role and plug the gap left at centre half with Jonny fucking Evans.

 

[TonyM]

Is Declan Rice worth considering? I've not seen enough to know tbh. My impression is that he's be a good DM in terms of blocks, tackles, interceptions but would he be able to pass well enough for us?

 

[cjn]

We need a DM and a LB, and we won't buy either in January

a LB?

 

[cjn]

a LB?

Yeah, I think we do need a leftback. Mendy is great, but needs to prove he can stay healthy, and Delph has proven he can't stay healthy. The manager doesn't trust the third choice in big games (which is how Laporte ended up there midweek), and sold him in the summer only for him to turn down the move. I wouldn't spend £50m on one, but we need a reliable backup.

And who would you sell?
