January 2024 transfer window thread.

[StaffordWolf]

Think I say this every window but is Gabigol worth a punt? Supposedly be around 20m

He's been great for Flamengo but was a complete disaster for those 2 years at Inter and Benfica. Huge risk.

He's a bit one-footed too.




Sorry.

United want him in a swap for Antony…

Would go for Pedro from Flamengo Pedro - Player profile 2023

The days of us spunking €30m are over unless they want Fabio

Good enough for me he can take a corner....

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Diallo and Sancho are hopefully on our radar. We just need to sell Sarabia , Silva and Jonny. Get as much as we can ready to bolster the defence in the summer. Dawson can’t go on forever

Unless United want to pay 75% of his wages there’s zero chance of Sancho coming here. No way we pay him anywhere near what he’s on.

I think Mosquera will come back into the first team squad following his successful loan whilst Jonny, Jordao, Fabio, Hodge, Fraser and Enso should all go out on loan for game time.

I would then be very surprised if the club choose not to back Gary with a new star striker. All of the names below have at least 4 goals this season in a top European league. They are all 6'2" plus and most have a bit of pace too.

Dominic Solanke, Joshua Zirkzee, Artem Dovbyk, Samu Omorodion, Jorgen Strand Larsen, Alexander Sorloth, Terrem Moffi, Serhou Guirassy, Jonas Wind, Victor Boniface, Akor Adams, Luis Suarez

I thought loan rules now mean only so many can be loaned?

 

[lets all have a disco]

Hugo Ekitike from PSG on loan could be the answer to our striker option....

 

[Plovdiv Wolf]

is he good?

 

[rg4352]

Hugo Ekitike from PSG on loan could be the answer to our striker option....

Would be silly not to explore it, we also have a former PSG player on the books

 

[lets all have a disco]

They are looking to loan him....big lad....young....

They have been looking to loan him for a bit , and put him in the premier league shop window..we could agree to a slightly inflated option to secure it......Mendes mate is PSG recruitment bloke....

Does anyone know if Fosun are going to invest or just pull/keep the funds like they did over the summer? Any info would be helpful for me really. Because if they do hold the funds back in the January window, or if they are planning on doing so. I would have something to say against it. As we need players. A striker, or two. A defender. Our squad does need strengthening, as I think Mario and Cunha in African Cup of Nations in January, and I don't know who is going to cover them.

There was talk over Nathan Fraser, yet, he may be too inexperienced to play first team football despite his good record this season. Not sure if Gary plans to play him in following fixtures.

Let me know your thoughts, as would help me get a better insight. Any rumours, or stories, or inclinations as to what is going on with Jeff Shi right now with funds.

 

[Darvo]

I don’t think we can expect much in January as it’s still the same financial year for FFP.

Hopefully, the purse strings loosen next summer but one thing I’ve learned over the years is that money spent does not have a direct relationship to success on the pitch.

 

[Monketron]

If we sell Neto we'll have a good (or should I say busy) window if we don't then the best we can probably hope for a mid-range no9 and maybe a backup winger.

I don't think Mario's team, Gabon, qualified.
Cunha is Brazilian.

If we sell Neto in January, that's a disastrous window imo

 

[stever]

Agreed. I don't see him going in January. He's enjoying his footie here

Who are the players who would play in the African Cup of Nations?
I can’t think of any or am I missing something.

RAN?

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

Given he is crocked I doubt he is going anywhere in January.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

That's the irony of him getting injured - it most likely puts off clubs bidding for him in January. Providing he quickly comes back fit and firing we've got him till the summer, at least.

 

[Scallywolf]

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Fabio moved on/loanedand replaced.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

I know I'm getting boring but we've got to get a between the posts CF in January, even if we need to sell Silva to do it. When you watch Haarland, Watkins, Wilson they're right there between the posts where they get their goals, not out on the wing or in mf where our 'strikers' tend to roam.

 

[Henry Palfrey]

Traore, Mali

 

[WISAW]

I'm sure (or certainly hope) GON has identified a striker in the low price range that would benefit us.

 

[Golden_Wolf]

Won't be him but you'd imagine Hobbs & the recruitment team will have done the legwork now. Wouldn't mind a loan with an option.

If we can I'd try & shift Jonny.

Maybe bring in another wide player.

 

[cannockwolves]

Are there any lower league gems that we should be picking up?

Just looking for those performing and young enough to improve, how about any of these?

Jack Clarke - Sunderland (22 years old, Winger)
Morgan Whittaker - Plymouth Argyle (22 years old, Winger/Forward)
Leif Davis - Ipswich Town (22 years old, Left back/Centre back)
Jaden Philogene - Hull City (21 years old, Winger/Midfielder)

From the little I have seen I would take Clarke for a sensible price, and I like the look of Leif Davies, but I doubt we are in the market for a left back with RAN, Toti, and Bueno.

Is there anyone else that we should be looking at?

Good post but it’s only now with Gary that our midfielders are putting the ball through the channels and not only the wing. It’s great to see 4 or 5 of the lads in the penalty box and having a go.
Neves and Mouthino drove me crazy watching them passing sideways. Now we’re attacking more.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Apparently we have 20m available for January

Ben Johnson from West Ham could be one on the radar

 

[Clifton Wolf]

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Fabio moved on/loanedand replaced.

If we were to sell, what do we think his value is now? 10m tops I’d say with add on’s and a sell on clause

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Might get 20m at the most I think most of the Europa league clubs interested was offering someone in part exchange plus money maybe a route we will have to go down to reap the rewards

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

I’d get solanke

 

[Minimalist]

I’d get solanke

That simple eh?

I don’t think they’d sell him, certainly not in January. Or only for much more money than we could/would pay.

 

[Wolf316]

He’s going to be crucial to their hopes of staying up and that’ll be worth far more than they will get for him.

 

[QB Wolf]

I don't think Mario's team, Gabon, qualified.
Cunha is Brazilian.

I just hope Kilman doesn’t end up going!

 

[Justawolf]

He could always go on strike lol

 

[Werewolf of Wombourne]

I'm sure (or certainly hope) GON has identified a striker in the low price range that would benefit us.

Do we even know if such a player exists?

Whoever we get will be a massive punt. No chance of a striker from a Premier League club. Transfermarkt have even Evan Ferguson rated as £65m so you're either looking at a Danny Welbeck type or a complete unknown from the Championship for £20m
