Deeg67 Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Leeds managed to get 18 million for Llorente and bought Diogo Moneteiro (18 year-old Portuguese CB with excellent on-ball skills) for next to nothing. Tidy bit of business that reduces any pressure to sell Harrison.

Tidy bit of business that reduces any pressure to sell Harrison. It amazes me how they've got their money back on Llorente pretty much, he's 29 as well and not done particularly well. I can only assume they've not given him £75-80k a week which makes him more attractive a signing than what would happen with us where we'd have to supplement the drop in wages. 1

It’s exciting that we made some signings but teams around us strengthened too. Do we have enough to get out of trouble? I hope so but it’s so competitive this year. Chelsea are being outrageous but spending near the bottom of the table is equally mental; Forest, Leeds, Bournemouth and Wolves. West Ham in the summer? How do we compete? Do we even want to?! Every club is turning into mercenary FC. 1

Ric Flair Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 It will be interesting to measure our transfer window at the end of the day against Wolves, Southampton, Leeds, Bournemouth, Forest etc. There's been some decent business done by them so far, especially Bournemouth, who if they replace O'Neil soon won't be a sure thing for one of the three relegation spots.

Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Arsenal fans on Twitter questioning the clubs ambition and calling for Edu to be sacked - all over the Jorginho transfer. Its not that bad is it.

Its not that bad is it. Doesn't seem to go along with what Arteta was building, given he'd removed most of the bad eggs from a few years ago. Seems the type of signing that could derail things.

lcfc_forever Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Being reported Benfica want Kokcu as Enzo's replacement. We've monitored him for a while as Tielemans' successor and tried to get him on loan I think before Damn you Chelsea! @Ric Flair 2

SemperEadem Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 It won't be news to anyone but the pull of money over here is so apparent in this window with some really good players leaving to join some right old rubbish teams here. 1

FrankieADZ Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 they say closing in, but Benfica havent even gave an answer either way yet
lcfc278 Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 The spending of the PL in comparison to the other leagues is staggering, I know its been bigger for a few years now but this window even more so with most of Europe seemingly tightening the purse strings during the cost of living crisis etc. Does make you wonder how sustainable this is for some of the teams in our league. I know our TV deals make a lot of money for clubs but something just doesn't seem right with some of the spending we're seeing. Can't get my head around Chelsea either. 3
