January 2018 Transfer Thread

[SlugTrail]

We got the best part of £25m for Andy Carroll. You never know.

We got £17m for wor Andy.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

If that Ceballos is available from Real we should be all over it.

 

He's very similar to Coutinho. Coutinho probably a better finisher. Ceballos equals him in the passing stakes and is a better dribbler than Coutinho. His ability to get out of tight spaces is top quality.

 

Not sure about his pressing and workrate though.

[Harry Squatter]

Gillem Ballbag says we arent interested in him so there might be a chance of signing him.

[Unrighteous]

Huh?

His best years by far were the first two at RM -- you think he was the guy at Werder? Diego did better.

 

I thought his best was the 2010 world cup.

The year after Kaka left he was immense.

Ah.  I cannot watch Real Madrid at all.  Crybaby Peepants Ronaldo's face sends me into a rage when I see it.

 

I don't think I'd ever be able to stop punching his face, once I started. 

[The Acolyte]

That is the key phrase - I am reluctant to masturbate over the 60 year old mature in my office, but, against my better judgement i find myself fapping away thinking of her!

It's the big tits isn't it? Like something out of Prisoner Cell Block H.

[Dave D]

United linked with Vardy and Hernandez.

 

Big pat on the back for Romelu is that

El Rojo has briefed the media that Liverpool are in talks with Leicester regarding the 'Mystery Man' and this 'exclusive' has landed on the Express.

mate of mine is Leicester fan and thinks we are after Demarai Gray not Mahrez .....would be a better option in my  view 

[Numero Veinticinco]

I thought Gray was excellent against us. Not sure how he is normally, I don’t watch them very often.

[sh#t waffle]

I've been impressed with Gray every time I've seen him, looks to have a lot of potential.

[stringvest]

He’s improving, and his rate of improvement is increasing as he is getting more game time. He definitely has something about him

[Lee909]

Vardy is exactly the type of slack jawed mouth breathing diving chump the mancs need to get pens late

[No2]

Stats are great sometimes but other times they tell you Ozil works harder than Sanchez. This is a case where its best to use your eye's, Ozil is a fraud when it comes to working for the team. If you run 14 yards 20 times a match when a player is 15 yards away from you its pointless.

 

I remember stats a few years back where Sturridge and Suarez had very similar figures in terms of distance and sprints. Anyone watching them would tell you Suarez was intent on making contact with either the ball or the player, Sturridge was just putting in fake miles, he never once at the intention of challenging someone, Ozil is the same.

 

Great player to have for the 28-30 games against the shite though.

Liverpool are also reportedly interested in youngster James Maddison, who has impressed in the Championship for Norwich City this season.

Anybody seen anything of him to know if this is an avenue worth pursuing?

[Numero Veinticinco]

Anybody seen anything of him to know if this is an avenue worth pursuing?

For moneyball, yes. For the team... probably not.

[Strontium]

Her dad is a Norwich fan and was raving about Maddison over Christmas, especially his set piece ability. Far too good for the Championship, according to him.

[El Rojo]

Walcott to Everton? He's not a world beater, but they'll still be punching above their weight if they get it over the line.

[Joe Strummer]

Walcott is another Aaron Lennon I think. Thought he was a red growing up too.

[The Golden Eel]

If Arsenal don't want him then a mid-table side is surely his level? I've always thought he was a bit unfairly maligned in the past. Good direct player who scored a decent amount of goals when he played. Amazingly, he scored 19 goals in all comps last season, which completely pickles my head as I barely remember him playing. He's 29 soon though and always had fitness struggles so while I think he'll do OK there in patches, I wouldn't expect him to have a major impact.

Thats enough for them to celebrate his signing if he indeed does sign.

[aws]

He should dig out his LFC pyjamas and post a photo of him burning them. Instant icon.

[etho]

Crazy that 'wonderkid' Theo Walcott is 29. What a waste of a career. Blistering pace, excellent finisher, good crosser. At the right club he'd have done some damage. I always thought he would have kicked on if he came here. Although he was possibly a bit 'too nice' to really push on.

Instead he sat in Arsene Wengers 'mediocrity is OK' comfort zone
