January Transfer Window 2022

They’re not exactly overloaded in that position. Gnabry, Sane and Coman, but the last of those has always been streaky with form and fitness, Sane has not been the hit they expected. With Muller and Lewi both at an age when they should have already been thinking about replacements, it makes sense that they’d be looking for more forwards.

Is it a result of some BM blueprint? Left footed attacker playing from the right. Robben, Costa and now Raphinha.

Barca have announced Torres.

Just looked at the numbers, this deal, if we merge it with what Barca spent last summer, they’re currently on -£9m.

What I’m reading is the last round of published figures had not included Griezeman’s exit, and so with the loss of Aguero also coming since then they have more room to maneuver (why such bad reporting on the issue over an extended period then?). The purchase price is also amortized meaning they only have to apply the first year’s contribution to that into this year’s spending restrictions.

Rumors in Italy that we could be in for Kessie on a free in the summer. I’d defenitely would be intereseted at that price

What price :thinking: :flushed:

He is out of contract, so would be a free. Hence I said at that price :wink:

Kessie’s an interesting one - he’s got a good injury record, and in the previous 4 seasons, he’s made appearances in the 30s per season in the Serie A. He’s only (just) 25 years old - been around a long time!

I’ve not seen much of him play, but when I have, he seems to be a bit of a destroyer and recycler of the ball. We could do with someone robust in midfield, and younger legs too. Whether or not he could adapt, who knows - I’ve not seen enough to know what he could do - and don’t really fancy a youtube scout right now.

Probably more suited for Spurs and Conte than for us.

Kessie? He’s fucking shit, both times we played them he was blowing out of his arse after 10minutes.

The breadth of these updates very impressive. We should play a game - with every update Zoran should include a team that is completely made up and then we guess which one isnt real :joy:

Aaron Connolly from Brighton to Middlesbrough on loan.

Game on :+1:

Many years ago they brought Nakamura Shunske over from Japan - my favourite Japanese player at the time.
