The January 2015 Transfer Window thread

[brenchill]

Sampdoria to me are one of those great 90's clubs I forget exist. Like Lazio.

[MDK]

They had a striker I loved. Singiori? Can't spell it. Used to love how he took penalties, one step back, one to the side and WHACK, goal.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Giuseppe Signori?

[MDK]

That's the fella! Loved him.

[Twist]

Do Newcastle even look like appointing a new head coach any time soon? Or are we going to just trundle along with John Carver until people figure out he is the permanent replacement because no one above him in the hierarchy actually gives a fuck.

[Colly]

They'll wait until after the season ticket renewal deadline next month then appoint Ron Atkinson.

[Jimmy]

Could see you appointing someone for 6 months and waiting for De Boer in the summer.

Schurrle not even in the squad today...

Hope this isn't sign of an impending transfer.

Poor Chelsea, how will they survive immediately replacing him with the superior Cuadrado.

[stokeriño]

FUCK YOU, SHIRLEY 4EVA.

Seriously though, I heart Schurrle and don't want him gone, Cuadrado or not.

Lucas Silva signed a five-and-a-half-year deal with Real Madrid for an undisclosed fee from Cruzeiro.

I'm sure we're about to jump in and give you another £40 million or so for an attacking midfielder >_>

Are Balanta and Lucas Romero actually any good in RL? Should we expect to see them both tearing it up in Europe soon or has FM lied?

[FestiveJack]

Balanta's been described by several coaches and players as similar to Argentine legend and World Cup winning captain Daniel Passarella. I think I saw something about Mascherano talking him up back when Tata was in charge of Barcelona.

[Gazz]

£80,000 a week for Odegaard has got to be paper talk bollocks surely?

[Baddar]

One said 40k for this season (but a possible 40k more in bonuses) then 60k for the rest of his contract from next season.

Don't know how he'll cope.

[Gazz]

Even those numbers are ludicrous for a 15 year old.

He might be the next Francis Jeffers or Michael Johnson.

[brenchill]

Yeah, it doesn't make much sense really. He could turn out to be utterly useless. I could go all Freddy Adu.

[Kaney]

Gabriel Paulista is due to move to Arsenal from Villareal for around £15m. Joel Campbell is going the other way on loan.

[King Ellis]

Couldn't haggle them down to a tenner?
