January transfer/its quiet Thread

[jay laruja]

Depends who we sign & which positions that frees up.

Would he trust Yaya in the semI final of the Champions League, away at Barca ? I think Delph would be the replacement for Fernandinho then. Yaya isn't fit enough. Edit, & maybe Danilo as suggested.

I think Yaya is being used to give other players a day, or even 10 mins, off. If we were 20 points clear at the top of the league right now & Fernandinho was a bit fatigued, I think Yaya would have a chance of starting a league game, but I think that would depend on the condition of DS & KDB. If they were fit & raring to go, I think it's more likely Gundogan would drop back & replace Fern. At the moment Gundo is being used to give Silva or KDB a rest, but if we keep widening the gap, I think Pep might risk using him deeper.

If he tried it & it went pear shaped, it would hardly derail the season, anymore than losing at Shakhtar did.

We already tried Delph at that position with Danilo at LB against West Ham. I thought Delph did very well as DM but his best position for us is still as LB. And with no other convincing cover at LB, I think it's wise to just keep Delph there.

I do think Danilo can do a job at DM too. If he can easily slide in as CB, I don't see any reason why not. I hope Pep gives it a shot.

With that said, keeping Yaya is still the easiest proven solution until we get Weigl, hopefully, in the summer.

Ashley? Really?

Is that a bloke's name, then?

How dare you assume my gender!!!!

Anyway was talking about the Jonny Evans rumours not you you mr Big head

That was the official steer at the Bournemouth game.

There's not as much cash for the manager as he would like, but things can certainly change.

Cheers Tolmie.

The money pot isn't as big as the media make out

Martin Blackburn mentioned that we had £50m to spend. Don’t think that will get two players though?

 

[meeesh]

Was just reading in the Alexis thread, Stuart Brennan of the MEN doesn't seem to think we'll make a bid for Sanchez.

I'd sooner get my info on here,like off Tolm,than read what Brennan tries to get people to listen to,although a lot of posts are hit by the ITK boys,some of it is spot on,and hugely entertaining,well it is in Jan as there is only a month of it,not like 3 in the summer !!

So @tolmie's hairdoo when we had chat on here last week,(prior to Jesus injury as well) you suggested the only way a deal might happen with Sanchez was the wages of 3.6m ? Does this still stand or have the posts moved ? Go on please give us a clue
