Why does the club's form matter? For example Chelsea made a huge amount of signings when they were lingering mid table and couldn't buy a win.

Every move comes with pressure no matter when it happens. If anyone were to sign in January it would give them an extra few months to bed in given that its highly likely we are out of the race for the league.

The added pressure for him to peform from the get go rather than being eased in a new league and country and adapting to Pep's methods. The player would probably want to join the club in the following summer where he would have the time to really get used to been in a new environment.

All this bollocks about settling into a new league is a pile of shit. The top players will adapt. And don't throw Rodri into this because he was nowhere near as bad as is painted.
Then again, it did take take Sergio about ten minutes to adapt. Just get the players we need signed up and stop fannying about.

It isn't. Even the top players do struggle initally to really settle after a big move. With Sergio it was a little hit and miss during his earlier years and he did join earlier on in the season.
 
Don't agree. It's one these myths created by the media alongside when a defender breathes on a forward that he is entitled to go down, the great European nights under the lights at Klanfield and the great atmosphere at Selhurst Park and many, many more. All total shite.
Fuck me, it only took Tony Martial a couple of minutes to justify his fee.
 
Manchester City are also tracking Borussia Monchengladbach's 22-year-old German midfielder Rocco Reitz over a potential move in January. (GiveMeSport)

Shite source but a new name in the mix, anyone seen him much?

And this pressure doesn't exist if he were to sign in the summer? Even if they don't perform to their top level straight away the player would benefit from the extra few months experience in playing in the league. Which would likely help their chances to kick on In the following full season.

There is also no chance of an extended bedding in period in the summer now with there being only three weeks between the league ending and club world cup starting.

Wirtz and Zubimendi @ 200m plus , but we have to stop pissing about in the market, identify our targets and go and get them and quickly.

We are going to get ripped a new one because clubs know we are desperate, but that's down to us and bad planning, pay what it takes and let's get back on track quickly.

Get this window wrong and it could set us back several seasons.

100% great players can play anywhere and don't need time to settle.

Your Rodri take was spot on, he looked a class act he just took a little time to get up to the speed of the league but his quality was never in doubt.

Has had one full season at Borussia Mönchengladbach but they had seen enough of him by February to extend his contract through to 2028. Neither physically imposing nor tall, about the same height and build as Kovacic, but the sort of player who could be flexible enough to accommodate once Rodri returns. Seems to have an innate sense of when to come forward and intercept, a trait he shares with Gvardiol and Rodri, and doesn’t give the ball away, which is what we desperately need. However, he is young and hasn’t played out the full 90 minutes in too many games, so still in development in that regard. Was on the fringes of the national team last summer and the word fans appear to use in connection with him: Maschine. Interesting link.
