Transfer: 2024 Winter Transfer Window - Open Window Discussion

[Savant]

Frendrup is an interesting DM. I've seen almost all his matches at Genoa this year, might be a good match with Klopp.

I really like the fit as well, but weirdly don’t think they need a midfielder at the moment? At least not as much as a defender or forward. Itakura can do both D and M so thank makes sense from a coverage despite not being able to use him until February. Frendrup I think would kind of shift Harvey Elliott to RW, and I really am not a fan of that either but we will see

Conor Gallagher ready to fight for his Chelsea future amid Tottenham interest

With 18 months left on his contract and no sign of an extension agreement, Conor Gallagher is in no rush to decide on his future

Supposedly Bayern want Eric Dier. Harry gets his mate.

 

[JoVel]

Sancho's loan to Dortmund is apparently without a buy option. Given that he essentially hasn't played at all this season I don't know what kind of impact you can expect him to make...

A left back is a must though.

 

[cgf]

I mean if he was better than Endo, I’d be thrilled. Endo had a rough start, but he’s been very good recently. Horrible that he has to go to the Asia Cup right now. Itakura is good, just think it would be a very weird fit. I would not say no to him though

They're both good players, but yeah I like Ko more.

who's that?

 

[Evilo]

PSG seriously interested in Bruno G.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

who's that?

Datro Fofana I assume.

DDF signing with Sevilla

Apparently this is a loan though? Chelsea recalled him from Union Berlin as they are unhappy with that loan as well.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Woah.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Woah.

Say what?????????

Johnson has been disappointing the last 4-5 weeks and with Son gone, I get it. Low risk

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I'm happy with it. Cover until the summer. But Spurs really need an attacking overhaul then.

- Who knows when Son regresses.

- Johnson and Richarlison are being relied upon too much. Club should consider cashing in what they can on Richarlison.

- Perisic is out of contract.

- Bryan Gil is putrid.

 

[luiginb]

Sevilla is going down with signings like Datro Fofana

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Sounds like it's as good as done.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Sounds like it's as good as done.

Treat him well and enjoy him, he deserves the world.

Ange apparently pushed to get Werner, thinks he is an ideal fit according to Gold.

 

[Chimaera]

I’ve always liked Werner but it’s an odd move.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I’ve always liked Werner but it’s an odd move.

Since it's just a loan I don't see much oddity in it.

 

[Chimaera]

I guess. I just think it’s weird considering he hasn’t played a ton there. I get it from spurs and not having a lot of money, but from his standpoint it’s kinda weird

 

[Evilo]

From his standpoint it's a great opportunity.
He's not playing and could bounce back with a good 6 months in an offensive environment.
Couldn't be scripted better for him.

I don't think it has to do with money. They only need temporary cover as soon as possible. And this deal seems quick and easy compared to signing a player permanently.

Signing a player permanently also requires some level of analysis of what you need long term and how he fits in.

That’s always tough to do, but is even tougher in a January window.

Getting a guy on loan you’re not super worried about how his style fits into your long term system plans, you’re just trying to plug a hole short term.

 

[Evilo]

Cho from Sociedad to Nice.

 

[Chimaera]

I see some of the benefit from Werner. But you could make a similar argument of having to move, he might not fit and end up even further afield.
