So because we are crap we should buy crap or overpriced?4evablu wrote: ↑Sun Jan 11, 2026 4:53 pm I love the way any player we are rumoured to be after on here is…..crap…not what we need….on too much wages or costs too much….so get loan players who in the main….with the odd exception….are basically either can’t get in their own clubs first team or are not required by their club…..
But same people moan about the standard of current players we have not being good enough……
So by their logic let’s not get anyone in eh? because either way for 1 reason or another they won’t be good enough…..
Confused ? I am….

Re: January Transfer Window
To be clear im not against signing players. Im against expensive short term deals who have little chance of becoming sensible long term deals. Be delighted with a couple of loans with options to buy but even that wouldn't be sensible with white because hes a centre half really and on a lot of money
I dont think we are likely enough to achieve anything to be spending money on only the short term

Re: January Transfer Window
Thing with white is he's a good age and can play centre back and right back. It's a move away from Tarkowski and Keane playing together.
Re: January Transfer Window
If we sold Beto for £15m, signed Callum Wilson on a free until the end of the season, and as a result had money to spend on a decent RB then that's the kind of business I'd be happy with us making.
*Not that there's any links of anyone in for Beto

Who said buy crap? By your logic expensive players are crap….so buy cheap players or loan players….coz they’re the best777Kidnappings wrote: ↑Sun Jan 11, 2026 7:05 pm So because we are crap we should buy crap or overpriced?
works for other teams to pay the going rate for the better players….how much has semenyo just gone for ? He must be crap over priced and high wages…..
Why aren’t you working as a scout or in a recruitment team for a club….you seem to think your good at it…..

Re: January Transfer Window
You said people were saying they weren't good enough or 2 expensive. So people want players that are good enough and reasonably priced4evablu wrote: ↑Sun Jan 11, 2026 10:01 pm Who said buy crap? By your logic expensive players are crap….so buy cheap players or loan players….coz they’re the best

Ben white is on 150k a week apparently that was the going rate as an arsenal first teamer. Its not the going rate for him now. If we take rejects from top teams you take them on the going rate when they were on the up not at their current level.
Its really a mystery that people dont want poor players or overpriced 1s. You dont either. We just might disagree who them players are

Re: January Transfer Window
And semenyo is an awful example. He had a release clause. Hes a player on the up not down. Hes a player we have zero chance attracting.4evablu wrote: ↑Sun Jan 11, 2026 10:01 pm Who said buy crap? By your logic expensive players are crap….so buy cheap players or loan players….coz they’re the best

Would love fo sign semenyo now. If he flops at city though im not really in favour of us paying him what city thought he was worth before he flopped

Glad we didn’t sign Semenyo for £10m for Bristol Ciry
City, he’d have been hounded out for being shite scoring 3 goals in his first 8 months
