Realistic January targets

Featured Replies

Maybe Georginio Wijnaldum could be a good addition for us. He plays good attacking football, also has good work rate. The only problem is price, as I see this Newcastle will ask for 25m+.

Shelvey seriously? I dunno, he has the work rate but I don't think he has that much talent personally

I see it the other way around. He doesnt cover, it doesnt seem like he covers, a lot of the pitch but his skill on the ball if fantastic. Enough to beat Curtois from 60 yards anyway

Hard to see us doing other than small tweaks to the squad. There isn't that many players available. Berahino would be excellent but he comes expensive.

I think there will be 2-3 outs and maybe 1-2 ins maximum.

Griezmann is not a realistic target. Atletico will not let him go midseason unless they fail to make it out of the group stage of the Champions League (which is still a possibility).

He is a liabilty though, gets away with a lot as he is at a lower profile club, at Chels he would just be Costa Mk 2 in terms of bans,.

Realistic? Hmm, I think I can help.

 

  • Brazilian ?
  • 25 years old ?
  • Shakhtar Donetsk ?
  • Attacking Midfielder / Winger (both sides) ?
  • Currently the top scorer in Europe - 19 goals in 13 league games this season ?
  • Highlights video with mainstream pop culture music: ?

 

 

Seems to be heavily linked with your lot, I'd take him in a heartbeat.

20million you must be having a laugh. A guy who's got 24 goals in 16 appearances this season. The same player who last season scored 3 more than Muller and 1 less than both Robben and Lewandowski. I think that speaks volumes about his credentials we'd be lucky to get him for 35m.

Auba

 

He'll cost 45m. Well worth it for us. He'd make everyone better

 

He can play on the right wing as well so we could keep Costa up front. Could even give us a stronger position for taking Reus as well.

Teixeira just got a brace against Real Madrid in the last 10-15 minutes of the game. Granted the game was done by then but still. being able to score 2 against Real Madrid in quick succession is impressive.

One was a penalty.

But yeah, he look's good. 

I'm really concerned by José's insistence that we will not be looking for players in January. He's said it in a few interviews and press conferences now so I think it is more likely true than simply a deflection.

It may be that he's been told that he has to sort out this season's mess with the players he's already got and if that is the case then surely he needs to find ways of bringing Traore and other young players through

Why are you concerned? This squad is good enough to meet the least objective ie top four, champs league qualification. We shouldn't really be concerned if we don't reinforce in Jan.

I don't feel our squad is good enough or shows signs of playing well enough and consistently. Costa particularly concerns me and our options in attack are pretty limited.

Would be disappointed if we weren't monitoring the Gundogan situation, assuming we don't use RLC, he's clearly leaving we'll just need to pay more than his preferred destinations.
