Re: January Transfer Window

Kehrer to Villa is rumoured.

Get shot of Ings, Cresser, and Johnson, as you say. Fornals' form has dropped, so thanks but goodbye.

If Moyes isn't getting a new contract I'd keep Cornet.

On the fence with Benrahma.

Ins, a STRIKER and a speedy right back.

Benny hasn’t improved since he joined us

Re: January Transfer Window

Not a fan off the January window, would be happy to see it scrapped. Being in the last 16 of the EL 'should' give us an extra incentive to bring at least one first teamer, just one top player can make a big difference as we have seen with Kudus. Generally, fancy this window might be more about offloading, or at least trying to, some of our dross.

Re: January Transfer Window

We’ve needed a centre forward since forever so i won’t be holding my breath.
Moyes was bleating about how everyone wants a number 9 at the moment.

Zirkzee at Bologna is in fantastic form and is only 22.

Stubbo 10:13 Sat Dec 16
Re: January Transfer Window

Sell Benrahma, Cresswell, Johnson, and Antonio if any takers.

Do what we can to see the departure of Ings.

We need signings at both full backs and a striker...plus arguably cover at DM.

Be interesting to see what a difference there is in this window having had a guy like a Steidten around to do the prep.

Re: January Transfer Window

Serhou Guirassy has been banging in the goals for Stuttgart. He has a £17m release clause which is fuck all these days. We face competition from Man Utd and Spurs, but may also decide to stay and help his team qualify for the Champions League.

Hopefully our Tim can work his magic and charm.

Nagel 11:34 Sat Dec 16
Re: January Transfer Window

Guirassy looks like a no brainer really. Can hold the ball up as well as bang it in the net. He never made a big splash until this season, but apparently Brighton were looking at him a few years back as someone who would improve a lot, and Lothar Mattheus suggested Bayern Munich buy him instead of Kane, so some saw this coming.

Apparently he just turned down a new contract recently so you'd expect a few clubs to try to activate the £15m release clause.

BRANDED 11:43 Sat Dec 16
Re: January Transfer Window

I’d like a defence and a striker.

RM10 11:56 Sat Dec 16
Re: January Transfer Window

For new year realistically a left back and striker, so many need to leave at the end of the season, will be interesting with a new manager and staff.

Eerie Descent 12:11 Sat Dec 16
Re: January Transfer Window

A left back as our biggest priority? Our current one has been our best player this season, we need back up but it's not the ultimate priority this January.

We need a striker desperately, a battering ram who is strong and quick, and good in the air, football talent not essential.

A proper wide left midfielder with pace so we can get our best talent would be massive for us, allowing Paqueta to play centrally rather than being criminally wasted on the flank. The manager just won't play Cornet, and Benrahma is too slow. A quick player on that flank would be the best thing for this cunt style of football that we play.

fraser 12:15 Sat Dec 16
Re: January Transfer Window

Eerie - I agree a left sided player and a striker. But that would leave no place for his two favourites Soucek and JWP... Can't see it happening.

Iron Duke 12:34 Sat Dec 16
Re: January Transfer Window

Long term, we need to find a replacement for Coufal. We also need cover at both right and left back, with Johnson, Cresswell and possibly Kehrer on the way out. I’ve seen us linked with Walker-Peters again. Maybe not a glamorous signing but we need to keep a quota of homegrown players and his contract runs out in the summer.

claypole 1:08 Sat Dec 16
Re: January Transfer Window

It's the end of the road for Benny, if there was proper cover for left back I would put Emerson left wing for a game as I am sure he would offer more.
I would be surprised if there is any movement on the transfer front, we are not going down and the current manager probably leaving at the end of the season. It makes sense for Timmy and new manager to work together in the summer.

ELLIOTTSHAMMERS 1:09 Sat Dec 16
Re: January Transfer Window

I like the Walker-Peters for Johnson,Ings and Downes story he will improve us at full back and can play left and right and we should go for that Leif Davis at Ipswich

Striker is a difficult one but would take a punt on Broja on loan until end of season maybe but would also like the guy from Stuttgart

Need a left Winger as Cornet and Benerama just not good enough and Paquetta is wasted there

As much as I love Formals love for the club he just doesn't do enough for me apart from running around alot

We need another Centre Half as no confidence in any of the ones we currently have

J.Riddle 1:18 Sat Dec 16
Re: January Transfer Window

Brentford pulled our pants down £30m? Kudus the real deal was about the same fee with inflation. Benny is worth about 20% of that. He has had a long run in the team and never delivered. Flatters to deceive with no end product. Just get rid to save on his wages and free up space for someone.

the exile 4:49 Sat Dec 16
Re: January Transfer Window

I would be happy to see any of the following go:

Fornals
Kehrer
Cornet
Benrahma
Ings
Johnson
Coventry
Cresswell

For me there's an element of letting them go for their own sakes rather than the club's. It hasn't worked for them at West Ham for various reasons and they deserve an opportunity to resurrect their careers elsewhere. Realistically, we're not going to lose more than two or at the most three of them in January, but we need that to happen in order to help with the finances for incomings.

Priorities for incomings must be above all a striker, plus a left-sided forward and full-backs. Guirassy looks ideal and if he's got any sense he'll realise that he is more likely to get regular football with us than with Man Utd or Spurs. Worth also mentioning that there are a few members of the outstanding U21s that should be promoted to the fringes of the 1st team squad, depending on who leaves.

marty feldman 6:13 Sat Dec 16
Re: January Transfer Window

Cover for Alvarez should be near the top of the list . And obviously a striker but have a feeling he's going to stick with Bowen up top . I suspect we will bring in a left winger ideally one with pace .

Gaffer58 7:45 Sat Dec 16
Re: January Transfer Window

If a striker is not brought in then it’s a complete dereliction of duty, even a blind man can see where our biggest problem lies. ( Does Moyes have a white stick)

rumford 8:48 Sat Dec 16
Re: January Transfer Window

With 30 goals conceded I've a hunch we might sign a defender or two.

northbankboy68 9:36 Sat Dec 16
Re: January Transfer Window

I pray that we offload the tub of lard that is Ings. He'd struggle to get into a pub team.
