[Football] January transfer window

[Milano]

Absolutely dead isn't it? Apart from Spurs has any EPL club done anything at all yet? I know this window is normally quieter than summer but is it normally this quiet?

Does feel weird to not have one of our players on strike this window

Still time

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Even Sky Sports are finding it hard to fill time. Henderson's live conference has been on for 24 hours. Poor bloke looks knackered.

 

[um bongo molongo]

If this is the early signs of FFP kicking in, that’s a good thing for us I think. Easier to keep our players if they aren’t being offered 4x wages and their agents don’t stand to make £m’s in fees

 

[Is it PotG?]

Not too long before it SLAMS shut at 11pm on 1st February.

Exactly why I think we might land some summer targets or longer term targets in this window.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Lean times for the football agents, boo hoo.

 

[JetsetJimbo]

Barco to Brighton is arguably one of the bigger stories of the window so far, which is crazy considering he's 19, might be loaned out, and the fee was $10m. Definitely a quieter window than we've grown to expect. At least, so far.

 

[Brovion]

Yeah. If it carries on like this then there will be no need for the window to SLAM shut, instead it can close quietly with barely a click. Barry from Eastenders probably won't be needed to close it this year

 

[Papa Lazarou]

He's just single handedly reformed Saudi society; such heroics would exhaust most people.

More threads about this transfer window than transfers themselves!

PSR.

The Forest and Everton charges were very well timed. European clubs are delighted fat cat PL clubs are not raiding their squads. I’m all for it.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Complete log jam

So many close to FFP limits so have to sell before they buy, however no one is buying as they are also close to FFP or the selling club is asking for ridiculous fees for dross.

European clubs are also broke, so hardly anyone is buying PL players either

I'm sure that's not the case for all the clubs, they need the PL money. European clubs are a mess.

 

[Oh_aye]

I'm alright with it. Perhaps big clubs will e forced to try this new fangled thing called 'coaching your players' to try and stay ahead of the competition mid-season.

Rather than roling the dice with your Oligarch / Feudal Overlords trust fund.

 

[slimes]

Regarding financial fair play.
I'm sure there are about 4 or 5 clubs in the Premier who need to sell players..
No one is buying.. could we bag a bargain or 2?
Could we buy Ansu Fati if Barcelona need the money

 

[Dawn Korus]

I think there's also a scramble for the bottomish teams to strengthen, maybe they think only a small number of teams can actually go and they're saving their funds for the summer

 

[Insel affe]

hmm, as much as I already love Ansu, I bet his wages are ridiculous.

i’n not, actually. our secret sauce is our coaching set up and the people we have behind the scenes in scouting, operational delivery etc.

if the big clubs cannot spend ridiculous sums on players they will just spend ridiculous sums on those positions instead, and that’s where we really lose out
