The January 2025 Transfer Thread

[prawnking]

Djiga is on the plane to us with his agent according to Rom.

He looks a better bet than Marshall, but PL with the likes of us still a big step up from being big dog in Serbia

 

[Tredman]

A big step up into playing in our defence? He's instantly our second best CB.

I just meant the demands on him defensively. He's used to winning games 7-1 etc

Already like him more than Danso

Marshall fee coming down with each report as well but think that will fail late due to no replacement being found.

 

[Deano]

If these 2 come in will someone need to be de-registered? I know Mosquera will be but Agbadou will take that space.

 

[White Wolf]

You'd think the penny would drop at some point but it never does. Jeff thinks he's being smart by dicking around with fees to get something cheap but assuming that Munetsi transfer goes through, we are paying a massive premium due to how last-minute it is.

Profile of Djiga is promising.

Getting better though. Last January we refused to pay any premium...

Nasser profile looks decent, should be physically up to it and if he actually wants to be here, that helps too.

With Marshall, he has to be rubber-stamped by Vitor and he has to want him and know how to use him, that's the only caveat for me

I'm assuming Lemina will go out late on once Marshall dude is signed.

But we'd still need to free up another space by deregistering someone for Djiga. They could do it with Kalajdzic but I thought he was nearing fitness again.

Most of us wrote off GON when he joined and that worked out OK

Like I said, we're way past 'benefit of the doubt' for our custodians

I’m choosing to give the player the benefit of the doubt, not Hobbs or Shi.

The particular brand of player-centric negativity we fall into (self included; I’m no angel) is absolutely exhausting to me at this point. I’m over it, I really am.

De-register Sasa and get him a loan to (The) MLS in Feb/March to help him back to fitness.

Any other traits or just those two?

Obviously like the idea but the CBs here would snap him in half. Not because they’re better than PL CBs, obviously, but because we allow more contact here (rightly or wrongly, I don’t know), IMV.

 

[Lycan]

Algeria, Côte D'Ivoire, Burkina Faso & Zimbabwe have all qualified for Afcon 2025 btw so we might be in a bit of trouble next year...

So as you're not keen on us being positive or negative about potential signings, can you let us know your narrow window of acceptable comment?

I think you misunderstand. This is another extension of Alan being overly sensitive to anything said about black sportspeople's physical abilities over their mental or technical abilities.
