Ship is sailed. Stinks of a poor attitude too. Gyokeres or Delap for me. Yeah - I'd be all over Delap. Similar profile to Gyokeres but younger.

Manure perhaps if not there Pool or Arse TBH, he screams classic Bayern CF, but they have Kane Barca would love him (as Lewa cannot go on forever) but I doubt they can afford him, barring some massive sales Reddish-Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,251 Posted January 1, 2025 Share Posted January 1, 2025 Tbh, the only way I can see us bringing in anyone this month is if this terrible run of form we’re in continues this weekend and we panic buy someone. I just can’t see any big target of ours like Delap being available when Ipswich need him to have a chance of staying up. I can see a few fringe players leaving but in terms of incoming I’m not expecting anyone. Which may be for the best if we would just buy someone just to have an extra body. I’d rather buy nobody than another Disasi or Badiashile. If we look hopeless in the final third for the next couple of matches I wonder if the ownership will break the Osimhen glass and pay his release clause, though… 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think lack of quality in defense is more of a concern than our attack being a bit off-form. If Maresca continues to play Disasi in that RB/CB type role, we will continue to drop points. No point having young talent like Josh on the bench if he's not going to play, let him get some minutes on loan and develop for next season.

Thor 2,817 Posted January 3, 2025 Share Posted January 3, 2025 Reece and Fofana need to go and get a quality top shelf CB and RB. Its getting ridiculous at this point.

Strike 7,761 Posted January 3, 2025 Share Posted January 3, 2025 Anselmino comes back to give cover instead of Disasi. But we should replace Fofana right away.

Sentimental gestures that don't need to be handed out as things won't change. Reece won't last the rest of the season from this point, something else or another recurring injury will happen again, it's far too common.

mkh 748 Posted January 3, 2025 Share Posted January 3, 2025 💬Unfortunately I have to say that the last transfer window was not good!!! I would have only signed: - Neto - Jorgensen - Penders - Anselmino - Guiu - Sancho and additional players for the problem positions. Players like - Felix (also here you had to sign Joao because of Gallagher otherwise we wouldn't have gotten the good transfer fee because of the PSR rule) (Maresca doesn't trust Felix) - KDH horror transfer completely gambled away!!! (Maresca doesn't trust him) - Veiga is not a left-back for me and also too limited for our level in the DM. (Maresca doesn't trust Veiga either) - Tosin is not enough for our top 4 demands. - Wiley can't be assessed enough as he was almost only injured until now. - Kellyman (had to be signed because of Maatsen otherwise we would not have gotten the high transfer fee because of the PSR rule) should not have been pledged but the money should have been invested in the important positions!!!!🗯 Reddish-Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him being injured isn't a problem financially for the club, except from a premium perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
