25/26 January Transfer Window (154 Viewers)

Esse, George, Neil and Ferguson would be top quality business

Even if its Piroe instead of Ferguson still be superb. Douglas needs to get it done

One of the few known ITK sources on here has said we enquired about Jack Harrison so I wouldn’t rule that one out

 

[JSL]

Are we hoping for a 7pm Friday announcement of some kind tonight? My heart hopes so, but gut says it will be someone going out on loan if it happens

who?

I think people are sleeping on Simms to be honest. He’s got 8 goals since Nov which is a cracking return. He should start for the next few games at least.

With BTA to come back, I’m not sure we’ll sign a striker, at least not someone as good as Ferguson.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

who?

@Jimmy87 iirc.

Less likely if we get Esse of course.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Why not both? They play on the opposite wings and ideal situation for us to be able to swap out both wingers.

Ipswich looked so sharp because players were able to rotated. A player like Jack Clarke was brought into their starting 11 from the bench on Boxing Day. EMC not starting against Charlton was telling imo - Lampard has mentioned a few times that we’ve had to limit minutes at times.

I thought they both played off the right predominantly

Would prefer better than Harrison

Think he’d be a great signing. Dependent on who Leeds bring in.

 

[Skybluedownunder]

Looking at our obvious need for cover on the right wing, is this the year we finally land Andrew Driver?

He was a left winger

What’s the reason that Esse has barely played for Palace?

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

It’s opposite, predominantly a left footed LW who can also play RW which strikes me as an ideal option.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Glasner plays with wingbacks rather than out and out wingers

 

[Winny the Bish]

They signed a Spain international who plays the same position.

 

[ptr]

Johnson going to Palace early doors should see Esse confirmed quickly enough.

 

[SBT]

Would people be happy with Piroe if it meant we had to pay £10m fee upon promotion?

Spending £10 million on a striker we know will be pony in the PL so we can bench our two most expensive players for the next 20 games doesn't strike me as the best use of the Premier League warchest.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Has that been confirmed? Might even open up the possibility that we sign Esse on loan with an option/obligation to buy.

Esse could be one of those signings that might struggle in the Prem next season but will light up the Championship in 27/28 and have improved for a second run in Prem. Without trying to get too ahead of myself…

 

[JSL]

A thought just crossed my mind. Now Chelsea have no manager, has the Tyrique George possibility likely took a hit?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Jeez i cant bear a whole month of this bollocks.

Lets get a couple in early. Then anything else later in month is a bonus.

 

[DT-R]

Esse would be a brilliant signing to start.

Wonder if this means Manneh is not signing though.

Ideally Esse, George, Ferguson, Neil is what I want.

I think its very apparent that when JDS isnt available the huge gap in quality is gaping. Id maybe like someone better than Brau/Bidwell to cover LB too. Is that being too greedy though?

there was talk it’s between us and Strasbourg (part of same group / ownership as Chelsea), but now their manager is favourite to take over at Chelsea, who knows….

If anything stronger links he’s probably looking for some stability at this point in his development

 

[jordan210]

Hopefully we can get a few over the line early doors so we can get them bedded in and hit the ground running

 

[DT-R]

Yeah for the first time in a long time the club needs to go short term focus rather than long. Don't care if we blow millions on expensive loans now.

I think Doug might be reluctant but hopefully he sees this as too big of an opportunity to pass up.

It'd be a waste paying millions on players that might not make the step up. Fill this window with loans, get over the line, then pump £100m in to the squad with PL quality. Starting with £10m for Rushworth.

If true, I'd be very pleased if we sign Esse and Piroe

 

[Jamesimus]

Why can't people spell "Piroe"?

Pirloi???

I have seen so many spellings of Piroe in this thread. Ones I never thought could exist.

Pirou
Priorie
Pirloi

It’s great.

I don’t believe he can go abroad on loan as Chelsea have already reached the maximum number of international loans.

How things change.

That source does only say we’ve held talks so nothing concrete yet. Wonder if a Sheff Utd or a Southampton could pay more and offer more playing time.

We should be able to offer plenty of playing time really, at worst a new winger would be getting 20/30 mins off the bench every week. And as much as I rate Sakamoto, if Esse is as good as he and Palace probably think he is he should be able to claim the starting spot.

 

[Jamesimus]

He’s barely played this year so I imagine wherever he goes his playing time will be initially limited. He’d get plenty of opportunities rotating at us. GET IT DONE FRANK!

They haven’t got Joe Edwards though who would play a big part in it I would say.

 

[Jamesimus]

If we brought in Esse and Piroe, I’d be extremely happy with that Jan window provided we didn’t miss any major players.

I’d probably accept a £100 million bid for Wright though.
