January 2020 transfer rumours thread (Deadline Day starts Page 283)

Sage

Another name to throw into the ring, Elliot Lee.

Not started a game for Luton in the league since the first game of the season, scored loads of goals from midfield for them last season, good pedigree, out of contract in the summer.

Sack off Berem Kayal, thank him for his sparkling contribution and use the money on somebody who gives a shit

A lot of people defending the Brighton pair but quite frankly we are not in a position to carry dead wood.

Totally agree. No point having Kayal available to come on as a sub for 15 mins, then missing a couple of games, playing one and then disappearing again. Total waste of a squad place. Shame really as I was really pleased when we signed him. We can’t afford to carry people like him when was have an injury crisis and dropping down the table by the game.

As for Hemed, stuck with him unfortunately.

If they can get into form for the second half of the season, they will be a good addition.

Plus every international break playing significantly more minutes for Israel.

Could be about to have our most interesting transfer window in many many years, if not ever.

KiwiValley

Lyle Taylor, anyone?

ForeverAddickted

Jadon Sancho potentially available for £100m
Willian @ Chelsea says he wont be listening to offers from elsewhere as has seen how Gallagher has done at Charlton so wants a piece of it

IanJRO

Can finally afford to get Hayden Mullins and Darren Purse over the line 

CAFCsayer

Think Mbappe would be a good signing

killerandflash

Maybe we'll come back for Toney?

killerandflash

Much as we would all like a push for promotion this season, what's most important now is that we stay up and don't screw up the team spirit with some lousy "big name" buys. Next summer is a more sensible time to spend serious money

We do need some extra quality up top though, and a replacement for Cullen would be nice

I think we would be in a position to Buy Cullen in January, West Ham will recall him just to sell him as he is out of contract End of Season.

I was thinking more in the short term as Cullen probably won't be back until mid February.

I'd be happy to sign Matt Smith just so he cant score another last minute winner against us...!

CAFCsayer

Gareth Bale is unsettled at Madrid and we could probably pay better wages than they can

This is the scum.... there is always a way we would get fucked over.

He’d just score last minute own goal instead!

I agree, bring in 3/4 and stay up. Then have a bit of a clear out in the summer. 

sirjohnhumphrey

I would seriously consider Woodrow at Barnsley. Scoring a lot in a pretty poor side.

Elthamaddick

nothing crazy this window I suspect, lets tie down the management team, LT plus 4/5 'bodies in the door' to improve what we have. Stay up and then have a proper go next season

ForeverAddickted

Dwight Gayle perhaps - He got mentioned a while back but I laughed at the notion of us challenging West Brom for players
Now I laugh at everyone trying to challenge us for players

Agreed. While they won't be long term parts of our future (on the pitch anyway) the likes of Pratley and Pearce will be crucial for the next 6 months.

Another left back might be a priority now, as no way can we rely on Page and I'm not convinced Purrington is 100% fit.

LargeAddick

we are only six points off the play offs, if we are still in that position at beginning of Jan I really can't see the new owners not splashing a bit of cash to try and go up and if we don't those players will be needed for a serious promotion push next season. He who dares wins and all that.

Imnot Athletic

Anyone training with us at the moment thats out of contract?  We need bodies in before the transfer window even if they are on a short term deal else we will be down to just AMB on the bench at this rate

harveys_gardener

I wonder how fit Tom Adeyemi is? Quality player when not in physio room. Free agent.

Haha free agents. We’re not peasants anymore.

Sage

I mentioned Elliot Lee the other day from Luton as he’s a talented midfielder not playing and out of contract in the summer. But scrap that! No offence Elliot, but we got bigger fish to fry now. 

CharltonByBlood

I think we will 100% go back in for Toney

Todds_right_hook

How do financial fair play rules work? Guessing we can’t go and spend £20m in January?
