TRO Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Just now, IrishVilla10 said: You can rationalise it though. Brighton just turned down 70 million for a midfielder who hasn’t even played 30 league games for them. The price of Gordon. If we are looking at quality upgrades it’s not going to be cheap and even less so in January Look, I don't know the ins and outs of the transfer business, so my opinions are vague.....but I see many other clubs doing business....so until, I know why we haven't bought to strengthen, I will remain sceptical. The mood pre Transfer window, was bullish, so the proceedings/actions have not met that bullish mood....I think most fans will agree with that. What we do in the Summer, is as clear as mud.....so the satisfaction folk glean from that, is all it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

January is a notoriously difficult window even without Chelsea distorting the market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobsons Choice Posted January 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2023 7 minutes ago, Powehi said: I think if this window has told me anything, its that the transfer window can get in the bin as a concept. So sick of it. Emery's done the right thing here and the club is being slated because loads of fans are trying to keep up with the Joneses and spending money for the sake of it. Seriously, though, that is such a misrepresentation of why people were and are concerned about this transfer window. Reductive nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 16 minutes ago, HKP90 said: Can't say I'm still overly thrilled with not getting another striker in, but assuming we can get Bertie fit again, then at least we have some forward cover, and a crazy dervish of unpredictability to come off the bench. I think in a sea of Gerrard mismanagement loaning him out was amongst the more baffling decisions at the time, as he could still have done a job for us creatively. I just hope he's the same player he was before the Turkish delight and knee injuries. Agreed. Same with El Ghazi. In a team devoid of creating chances, you ship out the two guys who will try shots and dribbles despite the outcome. Baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we pull a surprise loan out of the hat I just can't see how we'll do anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are looking at quality upgrades it’s not going to be cheap and even less so in January If we think we can sustain signings like Kamara, McGinn and to a lesser degree, Martinez, we are in a dream. The question still exists, if we had to sign Kamara, for his market Value, would he be with us now? Look, I am reasonably happy, with things in general.....but if we want to keep engaging in the European talk, which incites expectation, we need to get real. It seems to me, the club are clear, where they want to go, but unclear how much it will cost. If our objective is mid-table, fine.....but lets be honest about it, and not have our heads in clouds, with ambitious expectations.

Reductive nonsense. We've cleared out our subpar players and replaced our knacked striker with a hot young prospect. Upgraded our left back. Kept all our decent players. Been an OK window.
