January 2021 Transfer Window

[Freddeno]

ooh, didnt know Cutrone was back, just read about MGW...dont know if he is the one but...who knows..hopefully we sign another striker in the window

Are we trying to do things on the cheap again? Is that utter TWAT Moxey back ? On saying that Cutrone has a bit more about him than Silvea (at the moment), i would like to see Origi here though.

I think in a pandemic if you don't have to spend money , you should not. We are looking at options with PC and MGW and can still explore external options in addition. It's not a doom scenario or even a Moxey scenario yet, for me.

 

[Freddeno]

..or just can use the pandemic to get a good deal from a struggling club..a bit Trump-deal i know but..

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Got to wonder if it is at least in part a negotiation tactic to prevent us being held to ransom for other forward targets. If, and it’s a big if, he got a couple of goals early on it would certainly help negotiations.

 

[Jinky]

Nope. There is a link posted earlier this morning buried in this thread somewhere

Buried in the hilarious “draw the line” banter, no doubt.

I’ll take you up on the pint, mind, you tall handsome prick xx

 

[Del Woppio]

In a season where we're not going down and not making Europe, there's no sense in spending decent money in a window in which it's tough to find value. Cutrone and Silva can tide us through til the end of the season. Then we'll also have a better understanding on if/how well Raul will come back, and we can reassess our position there.

yeah maybe youre right, never value in january unless you can robb somebody like Valencia has been

 

[Tredman]

King looks to be good value.

Like him as a player, works hard and has some skill..a bit versatile also, and for 10m is a bargain

 

[YoungWolf]

Been linked with Gaeten Laborde too, forward at Montpellier

Agree with every word Del.

Average goal scoring record in an average league and looks like Leo Bonatini’s twin.

I’ve never seen him kick a ball, but on the evidence above, it’s a no from me.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Agree with every word Del.

The concern would be how that plays out with our more ambitious, younger, better players.

Living abroad when you're young and don't know anyone is fucking hard, I mean seriously one of the toughest things I've ever had to do and I've had my fair share of shite.

We all make mistakes, it's how we correct them, hopefully he can. He's not a rubbish player, I don't necessarily think he's the answer either (I doubt we'd have him on a list of potential signings if we didn't own him) but I'd rather have him than dirge like Oliveira or Origi.

Not only living abroad, but without friends. He's the only Italian in the squad so he's limited in who his friends are langauge and cultural wise. I don't think people get this part of it. Sitting in a hotel on your own is not fun. The rest of the squad mix because culturally they have a lot of portuguese speakers, a few French and a few Spanish. I'm guessing he got homesick, along with not many opportunities to play either. I think it's a very wise move to bring MGW and Cutrone back in. Also another thing to consider is when those 2 played for us it was a different set up to now. You never know, they might exceed themselves and us!

I hope we've not sacked that cleaner

Not widely spoken in Florence. Last time I was there for a Fiorentina game absolutely no one spoke it. Similar to Sevilla in Spain [and they don't speak much Italian there either].

Lovely steaks in Florence though and a beautiful city. I'd go back tomorrow if I could
