Will We Do Business in the Winter Window?

[kaz7]

I read we have only signed one player in the last 5 years in Jan and we know how that turned out, so seems unlikely. I think it is a sign of a well run club, Jan signings always have a bit of a gamble about them.

However Jesus will be the arrival of that window and give us a very good option (although I expect Pep to ease him in).

That said you have to think funds would be available if Pep wants them and so I would not rule it out. The issue is probably the poor situation we would be in regarding out goings.

I expect a lot of ground work to be done for next summer, as we have obvious weakness in 4 areas. Although I have not given up on on Vinny!!

I'm hopeful the youth players will step up at CM and FB, as you would have to think that they should get opportunities to move up the order for next season

Didn't we sign Edin in january? that turned out fine

It depends who's available. If Aubameyang could be tempted, then great.
Although I've read that Gabriel Jesus chap isn't too bad :)

A couple of quick full backs that can tackle would be useful too. We could annoy Spurs and their media chums and make a bid for Kyle Walker for around £40-£50 million.

I think that would have been over 5 years ago. The stat was something I read, but I can't say I'm 100% certain it's true. Although I do think it is fair to say we don't often use this window.

Edin did have some great moments, but in recent times Nig would be my favourite January signing!!

Your keyboard is f**ked, it seems to be adding spurious zero's after each number ;o)

My dodgy brain probably got the time span wrong lol,they were both great buys,i think if someone pep wants becomes available the we'll hand over the cash

2. Džeko and Pizarro, both extremely important signings although the latter was short term.

I see us signing the odd 17 or 18 year olds and loaning out the same.

So according to yesterday Mirror we have a further £150M to burn.Surely that would cause FFP problems with our friends at UEFA.

Nope.

I hope so....this set of fullbacks are just not good enough. We going to see more of the "spurs" type games this season if we having to count on Zab and Kolarov to be our starting pair of fullbacks..."Good" teams will open us up with speed. I would hope we do alitte more shopping in Jan as we have a clear weakness that teams are going to exploit even more as the season goes on.
