Jan 2023 Transfer Window

Gazza M

danilo to forest is here we go'd by romano. 20m. will be interesting to see if we missed a trick there

Clrnc

That's very surprising. So highly rated but no one except Nottm went for him?

Burnwinter

Suppose so … not at all surprised we haven't been in for him, as it's been evident for some months we'd lost interest for some reason. I just have no idea what that reason was. Does anyone?

It could just be that we ran the numbers and decided a forward was the priority.

lorddulaarsenal Feels very 2023 that an 18 year old still valued at €1m on aggregator sites supposedly has a £20m price tag. Kid's even younger than Brooke Norton-Cuffy, who has also looked a player and a prospect in the Championship, albeit with less of an Arteta-ish style maybe …

Don Pacifico

Re: Danilo, I wonder if Patino's form at Blackpool has influenced thinking at all...?

KingslandBarge

Don Pacifico Possibly, and Smith-Rowe seemingly being preferred for the 8 role. For a more screening and defensive profile, hopefully our interest in Musah is serious and we have a good chance of beating Inter and Liverpool to him. Apparently he's not going anywhere until the summer though.

lorddulaarsenal

50p says we get Depay

MistaT

Musah doesn’t play like a 6 though. He’d be a more athletic version of Xhaka (as an 8).

KingslandBarge

MistaT sure more energetic, athletic profile. Didn't suggest him for 6 though.

Qwiss

MistaT yeah but if you get him then you can drop Xhaka into the deep role. It's not ideal but better than Elneny there.

lorddulaarsenal

Couple of lazy links to Raphinha popping up.

MistaT

KingslandBarge cool cool!

I think he’d be a fantastic signing.

Pepe LeFrits

KingslandBarge

Pepe LeFrits
Felix, Mudryk, Diaby, Raphinha? Not holding my hopes for an attacking reinforcement but midfielder would be handy

For the kind of attacking profile we're looking for, Werner and Nkunku come to mind but shame they're both tainted by the same chief parasite never mind beyond reach.

Burnwinter

Completely made up, but the last line tracks anyway.

Clrnc

He's full of shit. Absolutely zero insights to the club at all

HomeSteak

The market is fucked beyond repair. 2 goals all season for Barca, has 30 goals as a profesional up until the age of 26. AT LEAST 100 mil....

goon

HomeSteak they think we're Chelsea.

Burnwinter

HomeSteak 2 goals all season for Barca, has 30 goals as a profesional up until the age of 26.

It's one thing with Shakhtar playing hardball for Mudryk in war-torn Ukraine. The only thing tearing Barcelona up is selling off a quarter of their future earnings out of a desperation borne of financial mismanagement. We're looking at a whale of a club that's gonna be midtable in a decade.

Pepe LeFrits

Fuck that.

GooneriC

No chance , they can keep him and pay his wages. Hope it weighs them down too.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

I'd rather we give all our talented youths a chance instead of any of this.

Fuck the market and the prevalent greed in all corners.

What's the deal lately with clubs wanting more for their players that don't work out than what they bought them for?

I'm used to prices rising if players do well, but this is fairly new. It's the same with Vlahovic - prices being talked about are more than what Juve bought him for. Surely when you buy a player a part of that amount is a chance you take on that player succeeding. If you're supposed to get your money back + more in the cases where they don't, every club should just be after every young player.
