The January Transfer Window - 2018

[stokeriño]

Why do I have this feeling that Chelsea are going to a) not get another striker in, and then b) still somehow agree to loan Michy out on deadline day because just fuck knows? 

[Szumi]

Latest report I saw was you've agreed to 15 million plus bonuses for Giroud.

Studge is off to WBA on loan too.

[Kaney]

Apparently we rejected that offer for Giroud, and Conte now says he'd rather have Llorente.

Deulofeu! Hope he does well there. I like him, but lack of consistency always hampered his progress.

Can't wait for Musonda to be walking around Glasgow thinking "paradise is a bit fucked"

Stoke City have agreed a fee of £15m with Galatasaray for midfielder Badou Ndiaye, according to Sky Sports News. Discussions are ongoing about the exact structure of payments in the deal, and one or two other legal matters. But Stoke’s bosses are hopeful the deal can be concluded early tomorrow, we’ve been told. Arrangements are now being made to fly the Senegal international over to England for a medical, and to discuss personal terms. That isn’t straightforward, because the player firstly needs a visa to enter the UK, before Stoke can then apply for a work permit.

Reports are now saying we have agreed to sell Olivier Giroud to Chelsea for £15m.

Will be mildly surreal if this Batshuayi > PEA > Giroud transfer triangle actually goes ahead...

Manchester City are close to agreeing a deal to sign Jack Harrison from sister club New York City, according to Sky sources. The England Under 21 winger has impressed since breaking through in MLS. He has landed in the UK today and it is understood that the two clubs are hopeful of confirming the transfer for around £4m this afternoon. Harrison will then be loaned to Middlesbrough for the rest of the season.

Middlesbrough are in talks with Everton over a loan deal for midfielder Mo Besic, according to Sky sources.

Crystal Palace have been told to pay £17.6million for Lille captain Ibrahim Amadou, according to Sky sources. Lille are under pressure to sell as they need to comply with FFP rules, but no agreement has been reached.

Everton have told West Ham midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin is not for sale. Sam Allardyce has no intention of selling the midfielder.

MK Dons have signed Stoke City full-back Josh Tymon on loan until the end of the season.

Fulham are in talks with Watford over a potential deal to sign striker Stefano Okaka.

[Baddar]

I think Giroud is better than the Carroll/Crouch options. He'll probably get as much game time as he's currently getting at Arsenal anyway.

Aubameyang will be a very good signing for Arsenal. They were resigned to losing Sanchez anyway, but it was important to get some kind of replacement in, and this is a high profile one.

[Gazz]

Phew, they were in danger of throwing away the title there.

[Lineker]

Crystal Palace are in talks to sign one of two new strikers – Preston’s Jordan Hugill or FC Midtjylland’s Alexander Sorloth – ahead of the transfer deadline, SSN understands.

Athletic Bilbao have confirmed they will sign Real Sociedad's Inigo Martinez after paying his €32m release clause.

[Baddar]

Man City have offered more than £50m for Mahrez.

[Adam]

Cheeky as owt last minute that. Mahrez will want the move and Leicester have almost no time to find a replacement.
