The January Transfer Window - 2023

[stokeriño]

I have never had a looser grasp on what Chelsea's squad is, and that includes 2003.

Gallagher doesn't go to Everton surely? Certainly not on a permanent deal. Isn't he supposed to be on the fringes of the England squad, he can kiss that goodbye if he ends up playing against Millwall and Reading next year

I read that he has already said he has no interest in going to Everton.

Cesare Casadei has joined Baba Rahman on loan at Reading and boy if that ain't a bad omen for him.

Genuinely don’t even think he’s even a good short-term option. 

[Kaney]

Its not even necessarily about him as a player for me, really. We're top of the league in an incredible position to actually win it out of nowhere, we desperately need some quality improvements and statement of intent type of signings and instead we go for...yet another Chelsea cast off? Its genuinely disheartening that we are in this position and yet still conducting business like amatuers.

"No, no, we'll pay you to take him" - Chelsea to Arsenal 

[stokeriño]

Jorginho, aside from being a penalty taker, is such a weird fucking midfielder.

Can he score goals? Fuck no.
Can he make killer passes? Not really - and certainly not if put under any pressure.
Can he work in any kind of defensive capacity? LOL.
Can he get about the pitch and hustle the opposition? Not compared to any player five years younger.

I'd almost liken him to Mikel, but that would be doing Mikel's defensive work a real disservice.

 

...So yeah, please take him.

Isco is close to signing for Union Berlin. Seems like a really weird fit.

They're right in the title chase so I think they're taking a shot at anything that'll help them keep pace with Bayern and Leipzig.

Allegedly Pedro Porro to Spurs is once again back on and he's flying in for his medical so I'm looking forward to waking up tomorrow and finding out that that is not in fact what happened.

Seemingly out of nowhere, Matt Doherty has joined Atletico on loan.

[Lineker]

Porro is going to be an initial loan with an obligation to buy.

Basically this. Jorginho is only worth having on the pitch to take penalties and if you have Kante covering his weaknesses... maybe Arsenal could take both off our hands? Sure, Kante's only fit enough to play for 5 minutes a season, but those 5 minutes are good enough for Arsenal, I'm sure.

Royal gets one goal and suddenly Spurs decide to drop the goal machine like that. Shameful.

Hang on. I don't watch a great deal of English football but are Kante and Jorginho shit now? Last time I checked they were both really good.
