We're going to do bigger things this summer. I'm glad he's moved us away from the relegation worry because I dread to think the panic buys we'd have had to do to try and keep us up. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Despite fearing being called a bed wetter I do think it's a shame that Emery specified that he wanted a winger, as well as a midfielder if Sanson and Nakamba left and it doesn't look like that'll occur, which in the process leaves us short on numbers/quality with around half of the season left to play. If they couldn't get the targets in then that's just how the cookie crumbles though. Would be interesting to see if there were any loan deals going just to plug the gap until the summer.

HKP90 Posted January 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2023 Can't say I'm still overly thrilled with not getting another striker in, but assuming we can get Bertie fit again, then at least we have some forward cover, and a crazy dervish of unpredictability to come off the bench. I think in a sea of Gerrard mismanagement loaning him out was amongst the more baffling decisions at the time, as he could still have done a job for us creatively. I just hope he's the same player he was before the Turkish delight and knee injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can rationalise it though. Brighton just turned down 70 million for a midfielder who hasn’t even played 30 league games for them. The price of Gordon. If we are looking at quality upgrades it’s not going to be cheap and even less so in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) So keeping the warchest for the summer - makes sense. I’m sure all are disappointed but I’m pleased we appear to have moved on from signing someone for the sake of it. We don’t need a back up to to Ollie we need to replace him so he becomes the back up option … not easy to do in January and post WC.

The_Steve Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 The nonsense Digne rumour is amusing because under no circumstances would we let him go with only one senior left back at the club. Twitter is really the pits for baseless crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get this to some degree but if we couldn’t get the top targets in now why not go for the squad options, such as the Moleiro’s, the Otario’s of this world. I would have liked us to try for, Kokcu at Feyenoord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if this window has told me anything, its that the transfer window can get in the bin as a concept. So sick of it. Emery's done the right thing here and the club is being slated because loads of fans are trying to keep up with the Joneses and spending money for the sake of it.
