The hysterically annoying and totally unfounded, but traditional, January 2025 rumours thread.

[Brown Nose]

The most recent example of our January genius was pissing off our manager by lying to him all month before pulling out of the only deal we had planned.

Signing a single decent player during the month is the peak level of optimism any of us can hope for.

So no Kelly Brook, is what you’re saying?

You’ve got more chance of Kell Brook.

 

[TommyK]

A center back is no 1 for me. I don't think we have one premiership quality center back at the club.

Followed by a striker.

 

[homer]

The back four are total shit

Nothing else matters - other than making sure Mads doesn’t leave

 

[City Fan]

A new back four.
Winger.
Striker.

What we’ll get: **** all until the last day of the month when we’ll make a couple of shit panic buys at over inflated costs, on crazy long contracts

 

[Miles Away]

Last minute loan for one of Ben Mee/Wily Boly/Jamalle Lascelles/Rob Holding

So it was written.

 

[homer]

Need at least two defenders in before the Fulham match

We’ll get **** all until Ryan Bennett turns up five minutes before the window slams shut

 

[FOX Franks]

Last minute loan for one of Ben Mee/Wily Boly/Jamalle Lascelles/Rob Holding

So it was written.

Lascelles sounds like he’d be a reasonable chase, but then we have Coady who kind of does that slow but noisy role.

So… not sure. Don’t really know enough about the others these days. Be weird to see Ben back

True.

Lascelles is meant to be a decent influence around their club, he’s club captain for that reason.

He’s also constantly injured, so would fit in well here.

 

[homer]

(They’re all shit)

Total shit, the lot of ‘em

But less shit than our own current shit

 

[SilverFox]

Remember when we were exceptional. Remember when we battered Southampton away from home 9-0. Remember how we then signed 50% of Southampton’s defence. That’s the kind of joined up revolutionary thinking we have here. Don’t bother with hope fellas.

 

[OzzieFox]

It's going to be a depressingly, shit window. Can we sign Pereira from a few years back? That's who we need.

I think Maddison was the last, most excited I've been about a transfer, and we're never, ever going to sign anyone that good ever again.

I was really happy with Maguire.

Youri, but I hate the **** now.

Perez, I was excited with but turned out a bit shit.

Fofana and Mahrez, probably the most excited after watching them play.

We're not going to sign anyone of any quality.

Happy New Year

El Khannouss, Hermansen and Fatawu have the ability to be as good as most of the players you’ve mentioned.

Fair enough, i hope so???? I was thinking more about the initial excitement when we knew we had someone of quality.

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

1. Recall Cannon (only if RVN expects to use him.)

2. Two of the following three:
- Sign a RB
- Sign a CB
- Sign a Winger

Of course we need to get more but I think the above is realistic for Jan. Assuming Glover has long-term targets already.

 

[The Old Fox]

I'm going to stick my neck out. I think that we're only two players short of a good team. Depth will have to wait until the summer. IF we have a decent window, I think we'll be OK. Defence and attack need strengthening (attack might be Cannon - can we recall?).

I think that just two good signings in the right position could make a huge difference if we have a fully fit squad.
