January 2021 Transfer Window

Post by bubbles1966 »

Sorry, if this seems early but we're allegedly on the verge of signing a player - Silkeborg's - Frederik Alves Ibsen .

Allegedly in London for his medical at the moment. Fee supposedly £1.2m ish.

Do you mean we're 2 months early? Or is he signing as a potential starter before the window opens?

Been impressed with Soucek and Bowen and Coufal is already looking a good spot as well.

If Moyes has green lighted this new kid hopefully this’ll be another clever purchase.

I reckon we’ll see a few clubs complete some European signings before the end of December as work permits will be harder to come by after January. I wonder if they can be bought now and loaned back.

Have we ever signed someone to start with the under 23s who’s actually gone on to play regularly for the first team?

If I remember correctly, a poster familiar with the league said he was a real talent on the summer window thread...

Hope new owners, an athletic CM, striker, and LB/LWB are next

Never went into a window less with less promise than this one... BUT if a miracle occurs (GSB sell up) we could have a very different window, however, hard to believe any new ownership would be in place by then.

I hope he signs because I’ve been working on a song for him.
He’s Swedish and Brazilian
So he’s either dull or brilliant
But he only cost a million
... and I haven’t come up with the last line yet.

Didn't Rieper cost about £1.2m? Nice bit of inflation with promising Danish CBs.

That was my first thought. :thup: Cardosa, Dju, Silva, Haksakandcrak. Why we bother with these signings I'll never know. Hopefully if this signing happens he'll prove me wrong.

I agree with Nedin in terms of what we need in January. Striker has to be number 1 priority, with a centre midfielder a close 2nd. And if we do sign anyone I do think it'll be players for those positions too. I reckon they'll wait rightfully, or wrongfully until the summer window for left wingback and centre half. If they even bother then that is! Possibly a goalkeeper too next summer.

I think the players who have contracts running out are the players we'll attempt to sign in the Janaury window. Joshua King, Nikola Maksimovic and John Lundstram I reckon are the ones to watch. I am convinced we'll get King and Lundstram especially.
