Transfer Rumour January transfer window (35 Viewers)

[fernandopartridge]

Harry Redknapp signed Kranjcar for Portsmouth, Spurs and QPR I think

Technically I guess he signed Defoe 3 times as well, West Ham, Portsmouth and Spurs

If that’s our business for the window concluded, what would you rate it out of 10?

5 or 6?

Coming into the window, the majority were saying that we needed 4 or 5 new players to add depth and make a difference.

A great run of form has meant that we're all now happy with Grimes (which is a great signing by the way).

But if we have a couple of injuries or a couple of players form tails off, we're still a little light in options.

[Nick]

It's not him.

 

[Chris1987]

Warnock signed Paddy Kenny 5 times

 

[StrettoBoy]

If things stay as they are I.e. no senior players leaving and no more incoming then, I think this will have been a good window for us.

I had thought that we could lose at least one senior player and only get a couple of kids in on loan.

Getting Grimes is excellent business for us.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Surprised that a fair whack has been spent on Grimes with seemingly nobody to be sold. Are we assuming that the Grimes fee will be covered by summer outgoings?

 

[SBT]

Amazing the number of City fans who continue to engage with that Gyokeres account when it's a) clearly not him and b) making a joke that hinges on us being an undesirable place to sign. It's not even the first time it's made that same joke!

Rumours of Doug's wallet's demise have been greatly exaggerated

The Grimes fee will be covered by the £100m we'll get upon promotion

‘Haha yeah got heavier pockets than Jak Hickman on Jupiter’

‘But nah seriously if nobody buys Vik my legs are getting broken’

Tahirovic staying at Ajax for the rest of the season. Unlucky Rexo.

Spending big money in January rarely goes well

 

[Hincha]

Think it has been a 7/10 window.

Positive is that Grimes looks like a great buy and we haven’t lost anyone

Lack of depth on our right hand side stopping it from being a great window. We’re a freak injury to MvE from having no RB and if we go back to 4-3-3 we only have Sakamoto as a natural RW

EMC is much much better on the left than right

Most of his games at RW were for Barnet which explains the lack of data on his assists.

He’s developed into a much more rounded player at Peterborough where he was used mostly at LW. Looking at his attributes, I can’t see why he couldn’t make a fantastic RW for us.

He’s right footed and like to cross with that foot, can take a player on and finds himself at the far post to notch in goals.

It’s worth trying Wright and EMC on the wings when they’re both back and I genuinely think those two and Simms in the box would be menacing for any team in this league.

 

[SleepyGinger]

There’s no glaring holes in our squad now. Could argue another RB/RWB but I like Eccles there. I think Raphael will be good enough cover on the right wing if we go back to that formation.

Tahirovic staying at Ajax for the rest of the season. Unlucky Rexo.

He doesn't seem to be flavour of the month over there.

 

[TomRad85]

Not ranking the window yet. Deadly Doug to pull a late rabbit out of the hat and make it a 10.

A lot of people are writing EMC off as an option on the right due to his cameos there at the start of this season, could be different now.

 

[JSL]

I remember the last day of the January window last year. Wasted my time staying up late for nothing. Not holding my breathe this year as a result

It’s amazing that football fans can make a judgement on a player based on a timeframe little over than an episode of Game of Thrones.

It’s like Haji Wright ‘can’t play upfront’ when him playing LW last season was the outlier for his career. Take your pick; EMC ‘can’t play’ RW, Rudoni ‘can’t play’ AM and BTA ‘can’t play’ football…

How many times do the usual suspect have to U-turn on their opinions after 6 months?

We did spend big money!

We got EMC late tbf, was annoying he didn't come in for that season but it was a big money signing. No one on here caught wind until very late, when @Saddlebrains told us we were signing Ricky Jade Jones.

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

I’m still a bit worried by Fulham’s desperation to buy a right back ….

Hahaha yeah I remember that

'Young Peterborough player, double barreled surname, all but done' was the message

Heres me not checking they had 2

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

I think we might sign one more, remember Norman 'The Winker' Bassette signed which was a suprise signing with absolutely no rumors

The real Gyokeres messaged me directly on Facebook. Told me all he needed before he can come back to Coventry was my bank account details and 4 digit pin number.

He's coming home guys x

Money talks and Sunderland are throwing it around

Gobshites!

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Be nice if we got one or two more in

They sense they have a shot at promotion so you can’t blame them. However, it could end badly for them like it did for Hull.

Then again, Hull’s transfers last Jan was their last throw of the dice.

 

[shmmeee]

Get that account on here. They’d fit in perfectly.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Guessing that spam account hasn’t even bothered to check the league table before making this nonsense tweet.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

'Aim to avoid relegation'?!

More like 'Aim for promotion'.

Silly fools.

 

[junglej13]

Sounds like Everton have agreed a fee for Tom Fellows from West Brom also. Be a few unhappy natives in the Black Country I suspect.
