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

Jorge still earning his dollar from us.
Should we just make him our Exec Chairman now?

 

[HanDoJin]

Meaningless fee if we spend it on the type of shit we did in August
