The Fish 10857 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Makes sense for them to try and sign a centrehalf and more importantly to make a signing early into the window. Why the transfers aren't sorted before the window opens is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4748 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Say what you like - he will make an immediate impact at the mackams. I'm the last man to be hyping up their players, but this lad isn't shite or unproven by any means. He's the captain of the under 21 Germany side isn't he? That's when I saw him a couple of years ago (I work with a German football nut) He might've been once but hes 25 now and has hardly played in 3 years. Bayern aren't letting a decent player go for less than a million pounds. Hes only signed an 18 month deal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4748 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 As an aside, is it any surprise Allardyce is bringing in a big lump? Hes been on about building a team around Jermaine Defoe this morning as well. Building a team around a 33 year old... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Shanghai, probably on insanely high wages. A week down and we've seen nothing more than links to people we get linked to most Windows and a token bid for Lacazette, I thought the large threat of getting relegated would stir them into action but I guess not.

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 It would still be from one extreme to the other on both the ability and the ugliness scale from Cabaye to Shevley though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToony 41 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Wow...I'm going to state the obvious just for kicks. I've just looked at our future fixtures and I can only pick out two where we "should" win...Bournemouth at home and the Scum at home. We are in serious jeopardy of going down, more so than the past few years if we don't take in some major reinforcements. SOON! YOU BASTARDS!!!

Kitman 2207 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 We deserve to get relegated. The people in charge are shit, the owner is shit, the management is shit. The players are just passing through, some don't give a fuck, some of them are shit. We are a great club that has been consistently mismanaged and dry humps its loyal supporters every season whilst taking their cash. Relegation at some point in the next 2 seasons seems a certainty to me. And we'll deserve it because the club's owned by a greedy tool and his incompetent lickspittles with no intention of competing for anything.

Kid Dynamite 7027 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Us buying a striker now, or waiting until the end of January to hold a club to ransom over a million or two, could be the difference between us staying up or going down. Miraculously our players still seem to have confidence at the minute and getting a goalscorer in could see us go on a winning run. Another 2-3 losses on the bounce and we could deteriorate to Villa's level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another 2-3 losses on the bounce and we could deteriorate to Villa's levelAye, you could see us waiting until the last minute instead of having new player(s) available for an extra 3 or so league games. All part of the owner's bizarre logic. I wonder what all the lowest common denominator journos will say about him making us financially sound if we go down again. Probably blame the fans for getting rid of Pardew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) See Bournemouth have went and got Afobe from Wolves, wasn't that the lad we were interested in. So they've signed Itrube and Afobe to play up front (26m in total for both if they sign Iturbe in the summer) meanwhile our lot are sitting doing fuck all, guess it's hard when you have to compete with clubs like Bournemouth...

Ayatollah Hermione 13866 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 On one hand, we need someone like him in central midfield i.e. someone with a range of passing longer than 5 yards but he's been shite this season and £10 million is some premium for a player the Swansea fans hate.
