Doesn’t seem very ambitious. You’d think if there was any interest from Europes bigger leagues he wouldn’t be joining an MLS side on January 1st.

Might've been the money we pissed away on Skipp as well There was definitely at least "2 bags of cash" for us last summer Soule, Fotis, Bilal, Skipp were all £20m+ bids Hopefully there was one for a midfielder, one for an attacking midfielder, and one for a striker that we still have (I doubt it) 1
moore_94 Posted 1 January Posted 1 January (edited) Walker-Peters/New RB, Valentin Gomez, KDH/Winger, New Striker Hermansen KWP, Okoli, Vestergaard, Gomez Winks, Soumare Facundo, KDH, Bilal NEW ST If we don't get KDH then Bilal at 10 and make it a new left winger Walker-Peters/NEW RB pushing up the right like JJ does with Facundo coming inside, and Gomez tucking in to form a back 3 with Okoli and Vestergaard Probably going to be 2 of those positions at most isn't it?

AKCJ Posted 1 January Posted 1 January I would bin Edouard ASAP and get Zinchenko on loan (option to buy if we stay up) and go after Stefan Posch from Bologna (fallen behind Emil Holm in their pecking order but he's a big lad that can defend and is happy in a 4 or a 3). Go back to what worked so well for us last season with the inverted fullback to build the box in midfield. I think this gets the best out of Winks, Soumare and El Khannouss. Another right back i've always rated is Kenny Tete who is in the last 6 months of his contract. Castagne is in good form at Fulham so he isn't currently first choice. 2
honeybradger Posted 1 January Posted 1 January (edited) Jerry St Juste at Sporting FC could be worth a look. We were linked a few years ago and he's had loads of injury issues but he's very talented and has been great for them recently. With Sporting's first choice centrebacks coming back from injury he could he available for transfer. Fastest centre back in Europe as well which is much needed in our backline.

Ric Flair Posted 1 January Posted 1 January @CosbehFox shout of Andre Silva on loan from Leipzig as a replacement for Edouard might not be the worst business in the world if we've minimal funds. He's either sublime or atrocious and is due a spell ripping it up. Likewise Luka Jovic who's not doing much at Milan.

A winger is the absolute priority to me, as it should have been with a striker in the summer. We currently only really have 1 out and out wide player available at that's Mavididi who's been pretty rubbish. BEK and Facundo can play wider but you then lack really explosive pace and poor balance if you have both of them out there. Obviously the defence is shocking but that takes 2/3 players to sort whereas 1 wide player who can potentially stretch the game, either from the start or off the bench would be a game changer and realistic if we're just getting 1 or 2 in.

If we send back Edouard then it's a possibility but that would be our two PL to PL loans, although not sure if under 21s count in that, if not then we might then be able to get another in.

I believe restrictions don't apply to players under the age of 21 or "homegrown" talents, who are defined as players who have spent time at their current club or another in the same country for at least three years between the ages of 15 and 21.

So we can loan as many U21 players as we want from the PL and abroad?

Lets hope RVN has good Real madrid contacts and i fact checked this and it looks like man utd in january 23/24 transfer window they had jack butland and wout weghorst and a player from bayern munich.

I think the only issue is that he seems to have worked his way back into contention for them recently. They might not be as willing to let him leave as they would have a month ago.
