I was convinced we would be signing no one this window as Guus would fill squad gaps with kids, seems we will bring 1 or 2 in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickpassnmove 924 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I heard the words "box-to-box" MF from Hiddink's mouth in that last post-match, so I'm thinking that's going to be a buy this month. IMO, we ought be be getting the CM and a fullback. The striker problem might be addressed too, but that's probably going to happen at the last minute. I guess the alternative is to let Bertrand and Bamford fill the FallenCow backup role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,903 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 To be honest I'd just avoid the possibility of buying another Cuadrado-like flop and sticking with what we have until the new manager is appointed. The league is gone and top 4 is gone too. No point in making any "shot in the arm" signings in hopes of giving us a temporary boost to accomplish something. Unless we're buying a world class player who any manager on earth would be able to work with and can play in any system it's just not wise. Save the money! Better options will be available in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Bild reporting Sane is going to City in summer...they are quite reliable. Pep was also high of praise about Sane, so it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as for every other topic apart from FC Bayern München, Bild is held as synonym of low quality journalism whose target audience are the illiterate. They are exactly like the Sun just with uglier topless girls. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge it at the end DF. I know you know this stuff already but just to be explicit:- Where there is no binding buy-out clause, selling clubs have little or no incentive to sell early. They know that the looming deadline is their friend. The only circumstance in which a club might sell early is when they need the money and no other club is competing for the player we want. If the player is of the quality both you and I would like to see recruited then there are bound to be other suitors and that always puts paid to a quick outcome. Even if there is no other potential buyer however, few selling clubs need the money so desperately that they can't wait a few weeks for the deal to be done. Lack of result is not a sign of lack of activity. The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage control? With no manager? We're gonna have to spend big to fix these mistakes and we won't be able to spend big in back to back windows. Another thing to consider is player registration, we can't just buy players without selling because we're at the threshold for non-association trained players. Get the manager in first, come with a vision and a plan, THEN spend like mad to address holes. I know it sucks but this is just the predicament we're in and short term fixes aren't going to change it. Be patient, what's a couple months in the life of a football club?
