January Transfer Window, 25/26 Season

[Jolemai]

Somewhat surprised we haven't been lazily linked with either Lingard or Sterling yet...

 

[Wilf Wolf]

From BBC Gossip column - it could be us!

Jesse Lingard, 33, is in talks with English and Italian clubs. The former Manchester United midfielder, who has 32 England caps, is a free agent after leaving FC Seoul in December. (Mail+ - subscription required)

45 + 5 add ons, good old Hobbsy. That’s hilarious

Yeah, can't argue with that sort of money. Off you pop.

 

[Kenny]

We previously looked at Lingard, so dont be surprised if we are again

 

[Lycan]

When he's trying he's probably worth just about what we paid for him in the summer and I would've taken that money straight away just to get him off the books.

£45M is excellent business, even if Mendes is taking a cut.

 

[Jinky]

Palace will sell Mateta for about £40m so their outlay on JSL will be about £5m - so whilst it sounds like a lot of money, it's all relative. They'll be getting a much better finisher than what they have at the moment, and we'll be getting rid of a player who has made it abundently clear he doesn't want to be here.

He'll score goals there because they have more creative/better players around him setting up the chances. He's always been a good finisher, even if his attitude over the last 6-8 months has been disgraceful.

Please. Strand Larsen isn't anywhere near as good as Mateta. If they sell him they've downgraded massively.

 

[Langers]

There's no way he's worth anything close to that amount - very good business.

Let's be honest, most people on here wouldn't have started him on Saturday, and we're the shittest team in the league.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Tha's a bold claim

 

[Loki]

Good bit of business. Wonder what we`ll do with the money?

I think YoungWolf said a few weeks ago, he's deservedly lost his place to fucking HWANG! That's beyond shameful.

Shi “Money, what money?”

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Sterling was on £325k a week at Chelsea. During his last loan, the club with the pleasure of his services only paid 20% of it. That option is no longer available and he isn't going to play for something like £80k a week tops from us, so those lazy rumours if they surface will just be nonsensical.

 

[BGreenWolf]

Tatty-bye Larsen. Thanks for the millions, no thanks for much of anything else lately.

 

[Templeton Peck]

45m?? Seriously? Feck

Mateta has missed the second most big chances in the league (behind Haaland who is served up several a game). He's not a natural finisher - JSL is - and given the chances Mateta has had, he'd have comfortably outscored him IMO.

That said, I don't really have a side in this debate. I'm just glad we are getting a good fee for him.

You do realise the missed big chances metric is measured against Larsen's performance against Forest at home last season
