If it does, we are properly going for it. I'll be shocked if we get him this window, but the club did pull Isak seemingly out of nowhere in the summer. Not sure what our FFP position looks like right now but it's not entirely inconceivable the club decides to spring another surprise or two given our league position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2317 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Apart from Ashby I have a feeling we'll get somebody in on loan or loan to buy. Probably not Ziyech given what Chelsea are supposed to have said about not strengthening rivals, but maybe someone from a foreign league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My "man in the know" says no incoming transfers planned this January, or requested - despite what's in the media. Its a couple of loan to buys if possible and looking to get Darlow, Maxi and Shelvey out on "good deals for both parties". Now I've written it, it'll hopefully be bollox (other than the Maxi and Shelvey out bit) See, Told you.

Additionally, given that the team's current issue is a high number of draws and that we have the opportunity to make a significant progress ahead of schedule in terms of where we want to be in the future, would this be a wise investment? z We could look for a different attacking midfielder not named Maddison ... he wouldn’t have been my first choice but I can see why we have gone for him. From what I’ve seen he has the energy, pace and work rate that suits Howe’s system. £40m sounds like a lot but we’re signing a highly rated young Englishman with his best years ahead of him and that’s the going rate. Arsenal paid £12m for a 16 year old Walcott and that was 20 years ago. Gordon’s goals and assist numbers aren’t special but he’s 21. This recruitment team have got everything right so far, we have to trust them. Remember when we weren’t sure if pope would start ahead of dubravka. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5923 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I think he'll be good for us. He'll fit the pressing style well, he's high intensity too. The guy has been a detestable twat every time we've played them but I imagine a few of our current players are viewed in a similar way. This deal doesn't shake my faith tbh, I think once Howe is done with him he'll be a better version of an already decent player. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jody Craddock told a mate that Bellamy was the fastest player he’d played against and an absolute nightmare to mark the week before we signed him. We as fans largely know fuck all about how to judge a player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
