The January 2025 Transfer Thread

If vic can fix forbes, give him the keys to the club, the city, abd my chocolate cupboard, but i'm not panic eating yet.

 

[Alan]

As with most we’ve got right now I think there’s room to hope for legitimate improvement now that we employ *knock on wood* an actual coach.

 

[Carsy]

Isn’t he a loan with an option to buy? Anyone know what the option is?

€13.5m, according to Yahoo.

Obligation not option based on an unreported low number of games. He's played 7 which is probably enough

Odd one. I haven’t seen anything from him when he’s played to suggest he’s good enough

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

For someone whose alleged main asset is his pace, Forbs doesn’t look that quick. Obviously he’s a poor footballer technically, so it looks like a poor buy to me.

He was clocked as the fastest in the prem this season.....

Technically ok, just slow in thought.

Now in 3rd with 36.57 kmh

I wonder if we're still interested in Koleosho (sp?) from Burnley? I think he got a bad injury so not sure how well he's recovered from that

They aren't picking him so I doubt it

More Danso links

 

[Alan]

Obligatory fbref snip:

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I suppose he wouldn't have to do much to become our best ever Austrian signing. We're 3 for 3 on duds (not really Saša's fault but ultimately it's £18m for two goals, with little immediate prospect of that turning around or us getting much of that money back. And he's the best one!)

 

[YoungWolf]

I believe in the Sasa 2025 revival!

Danso would be alright I think. Not hard to be an improvement on what we’ve got even if Santi looks better in the middle of the 3 and Doherty has turned into Maldini.

 

[Alan]

I'm in if he can defend a cross from RCB; Semedo's never been able to at any position, and though Doc has weirdly worked out a bit in that spot, he can't/won't jump to save his life.

Re: Saša; if Vitor likes him, who knows? He looked alright, assuming he can ever stay healthy (which seems less likely than I'd prefer, honestly).

 

[HanDoJin]

Nah, Maierhofer was amazing. Just not at football

 

[The Bear]

Danso is right footed, and we could really do with a Toti replacement who's left footed IMO.

 

[YoungWolf]

Seems like we want two anyway. Although I think Danso has been playing in the middle of a 3. So if we sign a lefty that keeps Doherty in the team..

 

[The Bear]

Meupiyou can hopefully be that LCB as the season goes on. I really want to see him start against Bristol City as he's quite highly rated by all the scouting articles. Been compared to Badiashile at Chelsea.

 

[prawnking]

He's played 10 mins of first team football, I'm not sure he's what we need in a relegation fight.

Probably wouldn't even be making the bench if it weren't for Hobbs defensive masterplan in action

 

[YoungWolf]

Stolen toilet man reckons we are interested in a young defender too
