January transfer window thread

Cameron Archer is through the doors (the striker from the midlands.

Sounds like Rodrigo Muniz maybe off to pastures new with Real Valladolid waiting to pounce.

Massimo Luongo made his was to Ipswich with a move for Dan Barlaser apparently agreed although dependant on Rotherham bringing in a replacement.

Matthew Hoppe is looking likely to be loaned out with a left sided attacker coming in.. I can’t see beyond Siriki Dembele from Bournemouth still but am happy to be told otherwise from som hot young ITK

A possible fourth signing I feel maybe linked to the rumours surrounding Paddy McNair. Again a replacement would be purely concocted from my own thoughts and speculation.. Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton is out of contract in the summer.

Still nothing linking us to Jason Knight at Derby which surprises me.. 👀
I think we may go for an upgrade to Barlaser , a big upgrade.
Hoppe will go on loan , and will be replaced with an upgrade.
Muniz will leave , Archer may be his replacement , maybe not .
Mcnair Will go , maybe in an exchange for a player MC wants.
Jones may go if a big bid comes in.
Rumoured injuries to Lenaghan , Clarke , Bola and Dijksteel means we will have to bring someone in , can't see Hall being the answer .
Plenty of life left in this window . A few twists maybe.

Summer might come early..

RB Cody Drameh - Leeds
CB Jan Paul Van Hecke - Brighton
CB Jacob Greaves - Hull
LB Kai Wagner - Philadelphia Union
 
RB Jason Knight - Derby
CB Jan Paul Van Hecke - Brighton
CB Jacob Greaves - Hull
LB Kai Wagner - Philadelphia Union
I suppose you never know, but he's linked with Burnley & Norwich, and the Mail had him linked to Dortmund I think. Knight is decent I suppose, would love Greaves, although I've not followed his form since he signed his new contract in August to be honest.
 
If Hoppe leaves on loan I think that will be the end of the business for strikers. Still a touch short for the three behind though.

I think 3-4 max now depending on outgoings - an AM/winger, CM, LB being the priority.

Do you not think Giles is nailed on to start there? Carrick has had Bola available at times and chosen Giles ahead of him.

If Clarke isn't going to be available for weeks and with Lenihan and Dijksteel injured currently, Bola coming off injured for the U-21's and McNair linked with a move away I assume we'll be looking for defensive cover in the centre. I don't really class McNair, Bola and Dijksteel as true centre backs in a 4.

Do you think Muniz will stay on if Hoppe goes out on loan?

Wingers
Anthony Elanga - reading between the lines from Carrick’s presser I think he wants him in
Siriki Dembele - Blackburn & Preston have made loan offers
Facundo Pellistri - ex Penarol, Uruguayan, Man Utd.. 100% boro loan signing.

Midfielders
Dan Barlaser - I hear it’s all but done.. famous last words!
Lewis O’Brien - Loan to West Brom on the cards?
Max Bird - I like him me like..

Right Backs
Jason Knight - Derby offering a two year deal
Joel Latibeaudiere - Doncaster lad, ex Man City.. boro signing
Cody Drameh - too expensive and looking like their best right back

Left Backs
Kai Wagner - Flying back to Philadelphia
Leif Davis - heard him mentioned, from Newcastle, ex Bournemouth, maybe we missed out
Ryan Manning - Swansea had our eyes out with Nathan Wood imo

Central Defenders
Jon Paul Van Hecke - put on a show for Carrick with those ‘come and get me’ eyes
Ronnie Edwards - yerjokinarnya Jonathan Woodgate knows all about him
Eiran Cashin - Darragh Lenihan should put in a good word

Strikers
Victor Gyokeres - Leeds are keen and Coventry can’t afford to keep him
Ross Stewart - Warnock’s first choice.. might be staying put if £10m is the asking price
Ben Brereton Diaz - Everton reportedly interested

Conclusion: Dan Barlaser.. and one other (winger in on loan from Man Utd)

Don’t think MC will settle for mediocrity.
He will want to put his stamp on it , I expect a couple of WOW signings which will be capable of stepping up to the premier league IF we manage to get there .
Here’s hoping anyway

Dan Barlaser is a good signing
(Blackpool have signed Tom Trybull from German side SV Sandhausen)

I think Elanga is a pretty ‘Wow’ signing and if there was anything in the Jon Paul Van Hecke link which I made up myself.. then I think he could step back up to the prem.
 
Middlesbrough are keen on signing Switzerland midfielder Ardon Jashari, Boro have been watching him for some time playing for Swiss side Luzern. He has two national caps..

(He’s the one on the right) i ‘m guessing instead of Keanu Baccus and as the long term successor to Jonny Howson at 20yo

He looks a top talent. left-footed DM. Surely bigger clubs in for him though. Be quite funny if we gazumped Celtic again mind.

"Celtic were named as a potential destination for the midfielder alongside RB Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt, Leeds United and Napoli, with a fee between €6m-€7m (£5.3m-£6.2m)."

This is what Scott was brought in for, gems like this. He looks great, I've never heard of him, but I love it and I love him and I'll be awfully upset if he goes elsewhere now haha!

Celtic are no longer the pull that they once were, when Rangers went bust I think they had a real opportunity to sort out SPL1 and SPL2.. unfortunately too many owners would rather cut off their nose to spite their face.

Still.. looks like we might face stiff competition for this Ardon!

The only other Swiss player I can think that we’ve had is Jayson Leutwiler..

Obligatory yoo choob..

Don’t lean back Elanga, our lass says they are looking to get him out on loan, but it might be abroad.
