Starting to think we get a loan (anyone really) to back-up Havertz and let Nwaneri cook in place of Saka whilst Martinelli and Trossard rotate on the left. Then just hope we remain competitive (and stay in contention for the PL & CL) until Saka comes back.

Then in the summer throw the absolute bag at Newcastle for Isak.

We are never signing a class striker ever again are we? Being punished for the privilege of the Thierry Henry years

    Wouldn’t count out Rashford. United clearly don’t want him anymore. We might be playing the waiting game to get a steal in the final hours

    That or a Neto equivalent for the forward line. Morata or someone like that

    Let’s see if Watkins story evolves.

    Watkins will surely be pushing for it. He’s a fan, and it’ll be his last chance to get a move like this.

    Depends on if Villa can get one of their targets I’d say

    Burnwinter preferring United to Spurs is entirely sensible.

      Qwiss he’s also not Carabo cup tied so could play v Newcastle as well on Wed

          Sicario2 - Tier 1 wouldn't really come into my consideration TBH. I wish we'd lost to Palace.

            Arsenal block Kieran Tierney from bringing forward summer move to Celtic

            https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/01/30/arsenal-kieran-tierney-loan-celtic-move/

            We got our winger. Not to be funny, but he probably has a better cross on him then Martinelli.

            And another one that ends here.

            we should be all over this one.

            how is this guy still a thing?

            another weirdo

            and in some other funny news:

            Stevie Me takes another hit as a manager lol. He will get a new job in the championship based on nothing, I'm sure of it

              flobaba

              That's the only way I've ever been able to stomach it. You got to see the best, now see the not so best. Still get butterflies rewatching old Henry footage.

                HomeSteak Stevie Me takes another hit as a manager lol.

                Easy to laugh now but when he pops up as a pundit with his shit takes we'll all be wishing he was back in management.

                    Oh god even our semi interesting 18yr old signing isn't happening this window.

                    Does feel like they are just going to stick with what they have (again) until the summer.

                    They are probably thinking schedule becomes a bit more manageable after the next 2 games as we only have Prem and CL left and have enough cover to gamble on Ode + Havertz fitness. Don't ask me who we will see if either of them 2 go down with Saka still out.

                    It's a tough one. Saudi slosh is a real problem. Say we wanted for example Gyokeres this window. How much do you think Sporting (and his agent) will ask for? Duran 85million, Boniface rumors of 60 mill. Marmoush crazy fee, crazy wages. I can see why we would "settle" for a Watkins. Still believe that will happen. Underwhelming, but it is what it is. We may still want to try for bigger profiles in the summer after bringing in Ollie, but nothing is guaranteed then either anyway. Top strikers are in demand, and are a rarity in today's game. There will be blood. It will be ours.

                    Qwiss He'd be Alan Partridge level, I almost want to see it.
