As a fan base we are not stupid, we are not dumb. Its Jan, its hard to do Blockbuster signings. Just give us someone that can get us over the line so we can go to war summer time, theres nothing of the sorts. Plenty good player we can get this jan, we have holes all over, surely we should and could get a good player in. Flipping arsenal have brought in 2 defender cuz they know they are fucked there, to steady the ship. We have holes everywhere and doing not so good recently and there are zero movements.

[ESPN] So many contrasting reports over this Mertens/Giroud situation. You have ESPN, Matt Law saying we are still after Mertens (it'll basically go down to the wire) and then there is L'Equipe claiming Giroud will not be allowed to leave, which suggests we won't be signing an attacker.

Arsenal have signed 2 defenders? Who apart from Pablo Mari? And speaking of Pablo Mari, if we had signed him - a relatively unknown from Brazil - wouldn't people be going ballistic over the club signing yet another unknown/seemingly average player?

Especially with CL back in focus. And they are already champions... So he would play a lot. But it's pointless since it's not happening. I think we will get Mertens. I see no interest for Napoli to keep him. Their season is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, don't tell me you wouldn't be going mad if the club signed Soares, who is hardly wow? It's like us signing Drinkwater! It should already tell you something when Arsenal, despite all their bad slump at the moment, had to "shop" from Flamengo & Southampton, Spurs had to look for players from the Eredivisie (players going to the Premier League from the Eredivisie don't exactly boast a great record of success) and get someone who fell behind Adel Taarabt in the pecking order at Benfica on a loan deal. It's just basically hard to sign someone quality in the January transfer window. As much as I'm frustrated that we aren't doing anything (or haven't done anything) in this window, I'm also not overly pissed either if means we stop wasting money on duds. I'd wait till the summer to see what the club have in store for the long term. We are definitely taking a risk here but I'd wait and see rather than going all miffed over the club not signing players for the short term.

Maybe but Lazio are only in one competition left - Serie A. They're already out of the cups. So, not sure how much rotation Inzaghi will be doing for the rest of the season.

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Moussa Dembele in January. 7 games: 8 goals 4 assists. We should sign him in the summer. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Vesper 30,185 Posted January 30, 2020 Popular Post! Share Posted January 30, 2020 2 hours ago, petre.ispirescu said: I am actually glad we get rejected for every supposed bid. Mertens or not, he's not going to be the decisive factor in our path to a top 4 finish, he is not that good, nor would Slimani be, or Piatek, or whatever fucker the media says we're in for. These are exactly the type of signings that have made clubs like Chelsea and United stagnate for the past years. Enough with Batshayi/Emerson/Drinkwater/Mertens/Slimani etc. type of signings, I would rather stay away from these fuckers and go big in the summer with some statement signings. If by August we'd still be in the same state as now, well then yes I'd say this club is playing a dangerous game by risking to fall way behind European super powers, but I will wait by then before making any judgements. As it stands I am happy we're not adding any more dross than we already have. Cavani is not dross. We also did not do jack fucking shit at LB. We miss out on CL and the all-round fallout will pale in comparison to what coughing up an extra 5m or so on Cavani to ram it through would have cost. The lack of movement at LB is goddamn CRIMINAL given the great options out there NOW, in January, and the in-demand status for the two plonkers we have now. So sick of excuses made by some for this thoroughly cuntish SIBNEFT mafia board. The club (other than commercially and then the mercenary loan programme) is run for shit. If we had not gotten lucky with the academy, the future qould be truly dire, it is utter delusion to think otherwise. Hundreds of millions shit away in a myriad number of ways, plus, surely no new stadium, as the permits soon expire.
