Mufassir08 2,400 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 That would be a superb short term signing for them.Agreed.Imagine Berba with Ozil behind him but they'll disappear in the big games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Coentrao is available and if bertrand and/or Kalas(loan) leave hen he'd be good on a short term deal.Something like loan with option to buy at the end of the season could be useful. sdrcfc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeboii 1,844 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The French High Courts ruling that top earners (or their employers) will be liable for 75% tax for 2013 and 2014 earnings may have an effect on player availability.Might not apply to Monaco players (tax-free status?) but will certainly apply to PSG and other French clubs. There's a big hit there either for the player or the club.That is a lot of money France are making people pay. If I was rich in France I would just move from the country.

Alan Partridge 1,124 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Realistically, what strikers are available in January? Arsenal will probably be looking out for one. Berbatov for a year isn't a bad move for them, if the deal is done. Anyone been watching Pato, is he still injury prone? I heard he wants a move back to Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bababoom 4,478 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 ScottAnderson#LFC @ScottAndy10 2mYes! Just got the news that Mohammed Salah is to be signed tomorrow at noon.Was the best player on the pitch when we played Basel away, should be a good signing.

If the clubs don't pay it, then the player will have to, and by means of the law.There will maybe be a few who'll want to jump ship and quick, perhaps the clubs will want to get them out just as quick.

I heard he wants a move back to Europewe can take the advantages of Mandzukic situation,,maybe around 20-25m is enough to get him. also,,mario state in media that he didn't want to be bench warmer if Lewy comes...

Tomo 21,751 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Truthfully, i would prefer we just signed a centre midfielder this month, with KDB going out as that's as good as confirmed.A mid season overhaul is not a good idea, especially as we are getting in our stride.

Everyone that's wealthy in France is required to give up 75% of their profits to the tax. That's ridiculous! They won't be attracting any kind of brilliant people to their country with this tax, nor will they keep their brilliant people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 If Essien does leave then I don't think we should buy anyone to replace him. It'll be better to give that role to someone like Chalobah because it'll help him develop his career here and could be a great reward for his recent loan spells.

Jase 43,479 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 It's somewhat of a surprise really that we aren't looking to get Cabaye given he would be suitable for our pivot and help to solve our issues there. The Mak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The later was good when he played for us last year when needed.What we need is a world class starting pivot. Rambo + a new one, something really strong for big games. But we could see something like Aké + MVG as backup (if mikel and Essien leaves)So Rambo - Witsel / Gundogan / Matic / Pogba (is he homegrown?) with Aké - MVG as backupand in case of injury, Luiz is still there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Today, all I read about Costa to the goons. I do not mean to sound panicky, but Chelsea must prevent him from joining Arsenal, I feel. Courtous ought to be used as a leverage here, if possible. Costa is too dangerous, he could help them tremendously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakez 755 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 We are not getting a striker this window 100% and it's logical, rarely a top one is available in january. A central midfield is stil an option though, as that was what José hinted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thendo 1,088 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 No striker in january according to Mou, hopefully we're still in for a cm tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,994 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Glad that we're waiting until the summer for a striker. Judging by Jose's answer to that question about whether or not we'd be active at all this window it sounds like a CM will be a certainty this month.
