The January 2015 Transfer Window thread

£5m? Fuck off!

[Cymbols]

It's like when we signed Grant Holt but much much worse :/

EDIT- In terms of value for money

[King Ellis]

I like how rather than play favourites, Linker shunned both Stoker and Gazz and picked an unknown to play the role of 'Football Manager expert' on BBC's live text.

[Jimmy]

Nothing to see here

Paul Lambert is trying to be clever by attempting to sign Rickie Lambert.

That way when the Villa fans demand Lambert out he can just pretend they're talking about Rickie.

[Adam]

Lambert should stay at Pool. For himself and for the club, who surely need more strikers rather than less.

I don't particularly want Lennon at Everton. Not really what Everton need, Baines/Coleman/McGeady are the wide threats. Defence is what needs strengthening.

[Jimmy]

I don't think we'll be getting Mirallas in return, either. Not really sure why we're letting Lennon out on loan without anyone coming in, but Poch clearly doesn't want him at all, so maybe it's just best.

[stokeriño]

Some rumours claiming that Southampton might try to make Ryan Bertrand's loan move permanent before the end of the day. Seems a touch random, considering they could realistically work out a deal any time between now and the end of the season.

[Colly]

Incentive from Sky to give Jim White something to do?

[Chris2K]

I love Football Manager and I love FIFA, but the BBC using them as barometers to see whether Cuadrado is better than Schurrle or if Lambert is a useful addition to Villa is quite embarrassing.

[Gazz]

Sky Sports News offered me Natalie Sawyer.

[stokeriño]

Cuadrado has just changed his Twitter handle to Juan Cuadrado 74.

:/

[King Ellis]

I was going to mock the idea of Cuadrado being signed because he's a better tackler than Schurrle but this is Jose we're talking about I suppose.

It also says a lot about FIFA when the guy speaking for that opens up rating virtually every player by talking about how fast they are.

[9 to 5]

Incentive from Sky to give Jim White something to do?

Hopefully the fucking boot.

[Matt]

"We have big breaking news and it's from Liverpool"

"Ricky Lambert won't be leaving as we suspected"

The big news is that, as expected, there is no news. Fuck me.

[Adam]

Tom Ince has joined Derby on loan. What has happened to him?

[The Lusophone]

He got an ego and believed all the stories about him joining Inter.

[Hobo]

If he'd been a Liverpool player under Rodgers he'd probably be in a much better place, I'd guess.

[Matt]

How's he going to play? Fairly sure he's already played for Hull and Forest this year.

And i don't think he was ever that good tbh, one purple patch and he was the best thing since sliced bread
