Transfer Deadline Day 2020

Quite chaotic for us today it seems. Can't shift Rudiger, Emerson/Alonso, Drinkwater, Rahman, Moses, RLC to name a few.

Can we at least loan a defensive midfielder?I have little faith in Jorginho and Kovacic while Kante is injury prone. 

An area we really should’ve sorted out imo, but left it too late, we’ll probably go in for Rice again in January.

Financially this isn't looking like a great desdline for us. By my count we have quite a bit of our dead wood still on the books that we haven't veen able to shift.

100k a week for Drinkwater to play PL2 isn't great. 

Glad that Rudiger is staying though. Good player if he can get back to his peak. Lord knows we can't play 36 year old Thiago Silva every game.

Apparently Rudiger, Jorginho are staying. So no more incoming. Bakayoko to Napoli is done. I think we are in trouble without left backs. No one is taking either Emerson or Alonso atm. 

Can't blame them

It’s not surprising that we struggled to sell players, the effect of covid. We’re very lucky that the transfer ban happened at the right time for us.

More to the point is that they simply aren't very good, and especially so for what we actually paid and are trying to recoup. Even without Covid-19, I think we would be struggling to shift most of them.

I disagree to a point. While Drinkwater would still be in the same boat due to his behaviour and MvG would only be a loan with his injury record, Baka because our fee for him is too high after how poor he has been, I am sure, without Covid, we would have been able to:

Sell, if we wanted to: 

Rudiger

Alonso 

Jorginho

CHO

Moses

 

Loan:

Tomori

Emerson

Kepa

Zappacosta

 

Others probably too. The sales are good players that would have had suitors.

The loans because we would not get the sales fees but could cover wages and get loan fees.

As things stand we have 3 spare centre backs that are all pretty much equally good or bad Christenson, Rudigier and Tomori. None have established themselves in the first team. All are probably too good for the Championship, their only remaining destination this window.

Not sure what happened to Moses, guess he will stay on loan at Inter.

Not sure why anyone thought Jorginho was going. He is likely to be regular starter.

Rudiger not going, so Tomori to West Ham from what I’ve read, basically to accommodate Rudiger in the squad I guess. 

Hmmm, doesn’t look like this has happened now, so 5 CB’s it is, not ideal, prefer Tomori staying though.

Actually I have a feeling Tomori will still go, but to a championship team unfortunately, hardly ideal for his development. Unless him or Rudi go to eredivise tomorrow, Portuguese window still open for two weeks.
