Transfer: 2024 Winter Transfer Window - Open Window Discussion

[JeffreyLFC]

Chelsea setting a new set of HG future sell?

 

[Evilo]

I can't see Nice selling Todibo in the middle of a season where they're serious CL spots candidates.

Ben Davies has impressed the hell out of me at CB. I expected nightmare fuel, but he's proven to be trustworthy.

If they have Porro/VDV/Romero/Todibo/Udogie/Davies/Emerson, that's a solid group of 7 defenders with many youngsters like Ashley Phillips on the come up and if Sessegnon EVER is healthy, he has the skill to thrive in Ange's system

This is such a key window for them.

I legit forgot Sess exists. I don't recall seeing any update on his injury status to know whether he's even a possibility for a loan in January. He needs to stay healthy and get some games under his belt.

But circling back, Davies has been an outstanding fill in for VdV while he's been injured. He not only has been a reliable defender, he's been bringing the ball out from the back which, to me, was something new to his game. I am more than happy having him as a rotational back up for VdV and on the other side alternating Romero and Todibo. Would be in really good shape there.

this again. would cost at least what Rice did in January

They will only sell to Utd, so Radcliffe can keep him in house

Pretty sure this is the plan. Like PSG selling their dead weight to Qatari teams.

Multiple ownership will kill this game.

I think it's unlikely too.

Verratti is dead weight?

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Verratti is dead weight?

45M for two years of him from a Qatari team... dead weight or not very suspicious.

How is that suspicious?
If any other team bought Verratti for 45M€, everyone would rave about a great move they made.
Let's stop the crap please.

 

[luiginb]

this version of Verratti is both crap and damaged goods, to act like he's worth anywhere close to that ...

It's not 2019 anymore

Like we all rave about the great move of players to Saudi clubs? It does not look good.

 

[Savant]

I don’t think anyone else was giving 45m (rightfully or not) for Verratti

 

[KJS14]

Don't think Liverpool fans should be acting as the fair transfer fee police here when their club got 45M for a washed Fabinho

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Not sure if it means anything, but Bardghji is in London right now. He has trialled at Spurs previously.

 

[maclean]

I mean, I've stated a clear opinion on this before, but there is a difference between "no not for sale" and "no but ok for 100k". So I still think Villa will (and should) stick with the first, but if the second is the case, getting the player while also taking him from a direct title rival bayern-style is probably worth that much

 

[Savant]

They shouldn’t have gotten 45m either .

Except Saudis overpay for their players.
Verratti was 45M to Liverpool would be seen as great business but apparently to Qatar it's dead weight...

Yeah especially since PSG turned down every offer from European teams including better offer from an EPL club (rumored to be United).

 

[Jussi]

I can't see Nice selling Todibo in the middle of a season where they're serious CL spots candidates.

I can't see them selling him to anyone but United.

Hopefully this is the end of it and a new contract follows soon.

Chelsea should try to sell Reece James

It's going to be Vlahovic 2.0 where we will spend the entire winter linked to him, put in a couple of bids, and know that he wasn't ever for sale in the very beginning (in Vlahovic case, he only wanted Juventus). If Luiz comes to the Arsenal, it will be because he wanted to leave, there is no way Villa will sell him as of now with their performances so far mid-season.

Ornstein says LFC not planning any January signings. Which is dumb

Few clubs can afford Verratti wages including LFC. The only team interested would have been in the middle east with maybe Bayern or Man United.

Ornstein says LFC not planning any January signings. Which is dumb

I would not rule it out. Last winter they got Gakpo and two years ago they got Luis Diaz.

I think LFC are stubborn with their price and target. They would only go for a player if they can get the player they want at their price. (Or release clause)
