Will end up at Atleti in Jan or leave in the summer I reckon.
We need another forward this January
- Thread starter Zoo
- Start date
This is exactly what can happen when you overplay someone,maybe this is related to his ankle injury from last season.
What are our realistic options for a striker this month,I wouldn't say Cavani as think he is Atletico bound and doubt that Werner will move until the summer. I have seen people suggesting Jovic who isn't getting much game time at Real but don't see us moving for him.
Let's just say the January window is now up to three signings. We already badly needed a DM (Llorente - loan) & AM (Bruno) and now you can add Striker (Mertens) to that list as well

We're not signing Cavani permanently or on loan. He's A.Madrid bound.
One striker I thought we would look at would've been Zapata at Atlanta,though disappointingly they've just officially signed him from Sampdoria.
Another possible left field option,for a permanent transfer,would be Malen at PSV.
One to keep a eye on atleast.

What about kanging Lee from Valencia?
Long term possibly a bit central but can play on the right and is left footed.
Chukwueze isn't bad either but is very rusty in his decision making.
I agree with you though - my biggest problem still is that we still have not sorted out our RW spot.
Dont you know,we're signing Sancho in the summer.
....Stop laughing.
....Stop laughing.
I suspect Dalot will be moved up to RW for a bit. He’s played well there before, although offers no goal threat, which will be an issue. But he’s someone we can rotate with Greenwood.
Dalot has played that position. Certainly up for debate whether he's actually done well,though.
It'll certainly be blank since we don't have any money.
Go and get Ziyech!
James-Martial-Ziyech is not bad at all. And you have a players who play at his natural position. Or get striker and play Martial left and James right, both out of their best positions. In that case I dont know who is best choice.
Jimenez, Cavani, Dembele, Jovic, Mariano... realistic options.

"We aren't desperate. If the right player is there for us, and will fit, we can buy.
"If loans are possible, it might be possible but I have players here chomping at the bit."
This could quite easily be a quote from a bottom 10 side.
We can't even sign a midfielder and people are talking about signing another striker. If we don't sign Bruno this window then no one will come.
That’s exactly their mentality. Our club is fecked.
We are going to get a big middle finger in return.
Quality winter signings are very rare. We had our chance to sign Haaland and Woodward fecked it up. End of story. At best we can hope for some loan.
Agree. I would rather not bring anybody than bring that pensioner shite Giroud. Starting Greenwood every match until Rashy gets back would be even better. But if we are realistic about having a half-decent team we should loan somebody like Cavani instead. If we can manage to make that deal happen. At this point, I am doubting you can send Woodward to buy a pound of shrimp at a supermarket, without him fecking that up.

How did Woodward mess up with Haaland?
Iličić on 6 month loan.
By failing to sign him. Haaland scored a hat trick for Borrusia, instead of scoring something for us yesterday and helping us beat those smug scousers + giving us chance for top 4, this season.
Please don't give me the "he wanted Borussia" bullcrap. We could have had him if we paid enough to all involved parties and structured a deal that all could accept.
Pound of shrimp is much more complicated than you think. Large shrimp, small shrimp, Jumbo, frozen, fresh, cooked, raw, white, breaded, garlic or herbs etc
We bring our other striker home? Sanchez?
That would save a few bucks.

Pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup.
Time to see what this board is made of, we are struggling to sign Bruno and now because of Rashford injury signing striker is absolutely necessary. This is what happens when you keep overplaying Under-23 players, there is nothing wrong with playing kids but when you put too much weight on their shoulder things tend to get ugly pretty quick.
Whoever is in charge of risk analysis & management (if there is) and strategic planning their doing some lousy job.

I know. Which is exactly why I wouldn't trust Woodward to handle it. You ask him for fresh jumbo breaded, and he brings frozen small, a day before the expiration date.
I have a horrid feeling this will actually happen...and Woodward will claim it as "good business" that he has rediscovered his form in Italy. We will get leaks that this might be happening and if the fans don't scream blue murder he will try and get away with it.
May have to if we are to get the Bruno desk across the line plus a replacement for Marcus.
Is Piatek from Milan worth a go?
Look he isnt shit he just didnt fit in the team with Rashford and Martial wanting to play out left. With Lukaku gone allowing AM to play central and Rashford injured he would have a free run out on the left. However I dont know if we can recall him or if Ole even wants to.
We absolutely wouldn't do that. We would make a low ball offer. Wolves would reject it and we would try to negotiate the transfer fee down. People running transfers are clowns.
Pity Chicharito just did his MLS deal, otherwise he’d have been a good option for 6 months.
Is there anyone in Brazil we could look at short term? Gabigol perhaps?

Cavani on a similar contract situation as Young would make the most sense. Quality, experience, the right position. If we could get him and Bruno we might have a decent window yet.
Cavani has been angling for the Atleti move for ages, we're not getting him.
What's Werner's release clause again?
Thank god he did. He'd have been a terrible option. Long long past his best and completely reliant on quality service.
Josh Maja and Samuel Kalu could be good options from Bordeaux. Although the former hasn't been there that long. I don't see us getting anyone we haven't scouted before mind you. Maybe that Russian lad?
I doubt Timo Werner would be interested in joining us, but my first choice by far, now that Haaland turned us down. Hope we at least try to get him.
Josip illic of Atalanta has only 6 months on his contract, why would we not be him, he seems to be able to play anywhere across the attacking positions
As a loan option Bale is the obvious choice really.
Maybe Gabigol, seasons ended in Brazil, has he returned to Inters bench?

There will be dozens of strikers in Europe that we can nab in this window, even if it's on loan. It doesn't need to be a superstar, just a solid enough striker that can help carry the load and chip in with a few goals, even off the bench.
You cannot tell me that our supposed network of scouts can't find anyone that would fit that description.

We don't have any money :/. 40mil in the bank just now (according to various sources after the quarterly results), then it'll be more loans against the club in the summer... we better start winning stuff soon.
How does he mess up most times.
Dries mertens would be a good short term fix.
We have a scouting network?!
