January transfer window thread

Don’t lean back Elanga, our lass says they are looking to get him out on loan, but it might be abroad.
It was during Carrick's presser when he was talking about loan moves and it not always being about going to the perfect club or seeing it as your perfect move.. it's the more difficult moves that make the players.

What does your lass think about our chances of getting Pelestri? Ex Penarol.. Uruguayan.. following the footsteps of De Pena, Stuani and Ramirez! Surely he's nailed on to sign for us?!?!?!

She says, firstly, he is a good player and played well last night. Ten Hag says he has a future at OT. Whether or not that means he’ll stay with the first team squad or not is open to speculation. We might have more luck with Zidane Iqbal.
 
Speaking to Pilatus Today, Luzern's sporting director Remo Meyer said an exit this month is unlikely, suggesting a bid must match or exceed their valuation and the move would have to benefit all parties.

“I currently don’t think it’s realistic that there will be a transfer with Ardon this winter,” he said.

“On the one hand, we have our clear ideas about the transfer fee. On the other hand, [a sale] must also suit the player.”

As well as Middlesbrough, the 20-year-old is also attracting attention from Scottish Premiership champions Celtic and Premier League side Leeds United.
 
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.
Never really rated him, but Phil Jones would do job at our level. If Lenihan is out for a while , might be worth a loan?
 
Would love for us to go for Mads Andersen from Barnsley if we’re talking about centre half coverage, contract is up in six months and he’s regularly topped defensive stats in both the Championship and League One. Worth a gamble really.

I dare say he’s not a Carrick type defender.. or not one I would expect him to go for.

Carrick comes across as very swish, va va voom.. whatever the current modern term is for high pressing, technical passing football.
 
I dont know why they bother with a month as nothing really gets officially done until the last 48 hours by which time fans have either grown bored or have anxiety attacks.

Personally hate a mid season transfer window. It can cause disruption with speculative talk of incomings and also outgoings and this window is no different.

I would put the January transfer window in Room 101.

Just bring it back to pre-2002. Sign players all year round with a deadline day of March.
 
Hasn't Drameh been totally ruled out by Scott as out of our budget range?
Cardiff, Preston, Swansea & Copenhagen have been credited with an interest. Luton Town have sealed a loan deal for the 3rd choice right back from Leeds..
Surprised weren’t in for him tbh.. especially with Dijksteel & McNair being reported as being available.

No mention of a Jason Knight from Derby either.. out of contact in the summer..

Sander Berge being linked with Liverpool, would be a big loss for Sheff United that.
I remember watching him majestically maraude through our team team at Bramall Lane thinking to myself he’s top notch him and too good for the championship. The fella next to me said to his mate that he thought he was good enough to play for Liverpool..
