Once football365 pick up on it, it might as well have come straight from Purslow's mouth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul514 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 3 hours ago, Peter Griffin said: It looked like we were trying to sign Bentancur as our last transfer and it is reported that Spurs have agreed a deal for him. With only a little over a day of the TW left it is reasonable to think we are done. Gerrard has said if we can't get the players we want we will wait till the summer. Yes, we could still buy someone but it does look like we are done imo Reports suggested we had made an enquiry for the lad over a week ago and never followed it up.

That could be a lovely bit of business for the right price and maybe we get Hickey in tomorrow for half the price we sell Targett I'd do it for 30m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul514 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I'm not saying the club haven't tried but if they haven't tried to sign one of the really good and cheap DCM's that are available this window then they have made a large mistake.

So that’s the time of Luther and Henry VIII. But in this case I am referring to brutal, oppressive attitudes rather than an academic period in time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I'd sell Targett for £35m. If they stay up it goes up to £50m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 29 minutes ago, grobs said: Would like bissouma but feels unlikely for a deal like that to happen within the final day Depends. We could be 70% of the way to completing a deal for a player, the club are just keeping things close to the chest. Might not necessarily be Bissouma, but we could already be working on a deal for someone. Gerrard strikes me as someone that will keep trying to improve the squad right up to the deadline.

Jbvilla909 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 3 hours ago, HalfTimePost said: No rush but if we finish 8th-9th and show ambition Inthe summer we could have a realistic chance of convincing players that may see Spurs, Leicester, West Ham or Arsenal as ahead of us that we can challenge next year. Finish 13th-15th and it's a harder discussion. A DM could genuinely be the difference for us between 9th and 13th. Then we can focus on a top tier CB in the summer. Fair point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The medieval period is generally accepted as being the period from Doug Ellis 2 until the end of the Xiastine period. Often referred to as the wilderness of darkness years. Symbolised in children’s books as a black, endlessly downward spiralling rollercoaster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
