25/26 January Transfer Window (26 Viewers)

Is he? He doesn’t strike me as someone who’d necessarily light up the Prem.

£5m for a player nearly out of contract seems like a foolish decision. Much like offered Bamford an expensive contract for half a season.

Mehmeti, great player at this level but unless we’re confident he’d make the grade in the Prem, this isn’t happening.

One of the best attackers in the league and he’s 24. If he makes the difference in getting us up then £5m is nothing. I also think he could contribute in the prem fwiw.

Just imagine us signing someone at 12:01 tonight. Could they in theory play against Charlton tomorrow?

More likely though is we will string out any signings for a few more weeks to keep the wage bill down. The biggest indicator of someone coming is if a loan or two goes out fairly quickly in the window.

Confused why everyone is saying Ferguson on loan is impossible? He’s had a poor spell at Roma, not getting a look in at Brighton. His other prem options probably come down to someone like Burnley/West Ham and outside of that it’s another loan abroad but likely to a club a tier below the likes of Roma so would probably be around us in terms of spending power. Come here, score 7-10 goals second half of the year and get some confidence back isn’t that mental of a sell to him.

West Ham had him last season and barely used him. I really don’t think it’s beyond the realms of possibility.

Thought that might've been the case but couldn't actually remember it happening (probably says a lot about the spell). Won't hold it against him as playing up front for West Ham is apparently the hardest task a footballer can do.

We need players who can get us to the Prem nothing else. After we get there, we’ll have a totally different squad anyway, but the important thing is getting there, NOTHING other matters

Game every 4 days or so in Jan. Really hope we aren’t stringing signings out those 6 league games is a quarter of all our remaining games.

We could in theory sign someone now they just couldn’t register until tomorrow right? I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more if so.

Completely agree. All this Premier League ready signing stuff is delusion. When Ipswich went up a couple of years back I think they signed about 6-6 players in Jan to get them over the line. Al Hamadi from Wimbledon was one. They never had any intention of him being a Premier League player.

He's currently playing regularly for the team 4th in Serie A and in the Europa League. Why on earth would he drop down to the championship?

 

[covcity4life]

Roma rumoured to be after Raspadori and Zirkzee - so not beyond the realms of possibility that Ferguson's loan is cut short.

It's very likely it gets cut short as gasperini doesn't rly rate him

But that's not same thing as coming to cov of course.

Isn't it nice to be linked to players at Roma rather than Leyton Orient(love you always Kelly) though?

He's not playing regularly for them and the manager has been critical of his attitude at the club . They don't want him.

I think they have to be registered no later than noon the previous day.

Played in all of their last 8 games, started 4 of them, and scored 4 goals. Is that not regular?

Go and review what their manager has said about him

 

[skybluecam]

Go and review what their manager has said about him

“He’s on the right path.

“He has the advantage of being very young. He must aspire to have the desire and determination to be where he is.

“We’re talking about Roma, who have had some very important centre-forwards.”

Clearly wants him gone!!!!!!

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

While we are taking about Serie A strikers. Just seen Lorenzo Lucca linked to Watford.

Struggled this season but was once very much hyped as having huge potential.

How come Roma are linked to multiple strikers and its being reported that they are sending Ferguson back.

Dunno. He may well go back. Certainly won't be coming here though, but you know that already.

Ha. So someone at the FA being made to work on NY day

Roma coach Gasperini (again!) pulls apart Ferguson: He's no Dybala| All Football

On-loan from Brighton, the Republic of Ireland striker has struggled to win over Gasperini so far this season.

He was already there on loan though so slightly different
