January transfer/its quiet Thread

Problem is, players of David Silvas class aren’t really great in number. Theres nobody out there right now we could really go for. Only players as good are prime modric/Iniesta.

De Jong.

I'm not entirely convinced by Ilkay if I'm being honest. He's been unlucky with injuries, but he's isn't in Ginger Kev or Spanish Dave's league. When the latter finally hangs his boots up we will need to spend big to get someone of his level.

That’s why I think we should be giving more game time to Silva Brahim and Foden, they all have the potential so why not help them progress to that level.

De Jong.

Never seen him play, are we linked with him ?

Anything from our resident ITK's int he last week?

I know TH said something about a striker/attacking wide player that already plays in the premier but that was for the summer? Did anyone work out who that was.

Is it going to be just JFE???

Read his thread mate, we're definitely scouting him. He also openly mentioned City in his interviews. Best Dutch talent right now, can see him becoming Modric's heir.

Pep on upcoming transfer plans: "We need to anticipate it now. We feel we need to invest in the summer, with three or four. If we do it now, we do it for the summer."

Pep: "We have the two strikers and we do not need another one in that position. Other players can play there in different circumstances. To buy a striker who can only play there: that is not going to happen."

Pep: "Sterling can play there. He did at Old Trafford and in the States in pre-season. He showed me that he can handle that pressure without problems. He's more of a winger, a number 10, but we are not going to buy a striker."

Interesting insight, lending weight to the idea eg with Fred, to buy now, and him come here in the summer. Im guessing the 3 or 4 in will replace leavers in those positions - Toure for example. Who are 2 or 3 others likely to go or whose contract is up?

Sounds to me like the club will happily buy our summer targets now if they can.

World Cup years are a pain to do transfer dealings in, same with the Euro’s.

It’s basically a 1/2 month window rather than 3.

Weigl, Skriniar and Werner

Foden?
