How can you both think " Targett is shite " but at the same time that " we're doing them a favour " ? It's like politics.... You can simultaneously think Trump/Biden/Johnson/[Insert name here] is a bumbling moron on one hand and an evil genius masterminding the downfall of society on the other... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing they left the OUT’s off the image as it would have been a huge list of loans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Quite a brilliant window. I'm still in shock that we got Coutinho and Digne this January when I was expecting maybe Ryan Kent on a swap deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 5 minutes ago, HalfTimePost said: Because in the event of Digne getting injured we shouldn't need to rely on a 36yr old Ashley Young (who can play well there but not 90 mins regularly at this level, he's not a left back even if he can do it) when we have an alleged £20m backup left back in the squad. Whatever way we look at it, it weakens us. We came into the window saying we wanted to increase competition at Leftback to get the most out of Targett or a worthwhile option if he needed to be dropped. We were opportunistic with Digne but whilst he is a big upgrade it doesn't improve our competition if we sell the backup. It is short sighted Vs bringing in a younger backup who can improve our squad for the foreseeable (or even if we tried to bring through Chrisene, but no Cup games means that's unlikely). All of that and all I said was it would be -1 on a fantastic window.... Young can play the odd game there if he has to IMO, that doesn't worry me. He was backup for Targett beforehand, he can be backup now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Everton are signing Dele Alli for £40m and sticking him on a 2.5 year deal. If anyone thinks our window has been poor, just look at that shocker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Solid window - especially Digne and Coutinho. Gives us time to strategise for the summer and get some key quality players in where most needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone thinks our window has been poor, just look at that shocker. He's going for free isn't he? And £10m in bonuses if he reaches certain milestones. Not that bad of a deal if it comes off for them. I don't understand signing him and Van Der Beek in the same week though. Two under performing players in the same position although maybe they'll play one further back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit for Spurs on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's cup tied so can only play 18 games this season, so no fee till next year. Not a bad deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can't rely on Ashley Young, then what's the point of having him in the squad at all? I, and quite clearly, the management team think that he'll do for backup, you don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
