January Transfer Window 2016

First topic message reminder :

With Bournemouth looking like they've got Iturbe done on loan with a view to permanent then I guess that's the signal to get this thread going

Gonna go out there and say Shelvey will be a Palace player soon

That's Pardew bringing in cover for Cabaye

I don't know about that James McArthur ain't great if Shelvey could do that role he may slot in beside Kebab.

Rumours we've bid £19m for Alexandre Lacazette. Year ago, would of laughed, but he's had a poor 12 months & his stock has dropped, so this could be a possibility. Looks like Ashley will spend his way to safety, to be a part of that TV deal. Fall back option could still be Loic Remy on loan.

Norwich confirm they have signed Ivo Pinto for 2.2m

Sky Sports confirmed an £18million pound bid has been rejected, though sources say a deal could be done around £23million.

Big move by Newcastle.

Twitter › paddypower
Newcastle have been involved in transfer talks with Alexandre Lacazette. 'Would you like to sign for Newcastle?' 'No.' 'Ok.'

didnt think he'd even consider a relegation scrap. I'd expect Newcastle to get Remy on loan.

Brazilian media claim we've bid for Pato.

Cant see it

Bournemouth make loan bid for Stephan El Shaarawy

I bet nobody had a bold prediction of Bournemouth's front line, consisting of Stephan El Shaarawy & Juan Iturbe, flanking Glenn Murray

Bringing in notoriously volatile foreign players into a tightly knit group of mainly British based players?

Interested to see how Howe manages it

Isn't he already out on loan to Monaco

Gary Gardner on loan

Fernando wrote:Isn't he already out on loan to Monaco

The forward joined Monaco over the summer on loan with an option to buy that would come into effect at the 25th competitive appearance.The club decided not to keep him and dropped the player after 24 games. Now the Rossoneri must find another solution for the Little Pharaoh and it’s reported today they have set a price-tag of €14m on the Italy international or a loan. Sky Sport Italia claim this evening that Bournemouth have submitted a loan offer to El Shaarawy, but the player would prefer to remain in Serie A.

Another example of LVG's mistakes, as United in talks to terminate Adnan Januzaj's Dortmund loan contract & get him back.

GSC wrote:Gary Gardner on loan

Should have given him a go.

Another mistake.

for his development it might have not been a bad thing for the lad if he actually got a run (which he didnt and thats why he'll be getting recalled), hopefully see him get his head down as i think the start he had went to his head a bit.

got a feeling he's going to be another macheda, just far too lightweight and loses the ball everytime somebody gets close. hope im wrong. he's behind young, martial, mata even with our shortages. not sure about depay as he's awful

Depay is young and in a new league. Needs time. Shown some quality although has generally been poor.

Wouldn't call him awful.

Januzaj isn't playing fort dortmund so he's being recalled.

Depay makes me wish we had Nani back!!

He's young, but been playing at a good level already so we should expect more. I'm willing to give him time but it'd be nice if he could at least show us something in the mean time, only played well against very poor sides at the start of the season

Read that Brighton are having talks with Anthony Knockaert.

Wouldn't be a bad signing.

Linked with a loan for Nick Powell is fast becoming our Sneidjer to United.

Lyon have accepted £22m but he doesn't want to move there.

He will basically hold out until the end of the window for a better offer, as only 12 months ago, he was highly regarded. Lyon have accepted, so will want to push him to agree, no doubt. Newcastle might still end up getting him, if nobody else shows interest, but instead of getting him in ASAP, they might have to wait around for Jim White, before he makes a decision.

Depending on where you read it's any of a number of things. Club were rumoured to have enquired with a substantial offer, they asked the player and he said no.

Think the club are more annoyed that now it's out everyone knows they have money.

Basically every PL club has money to burn, Newcastle were ranked in the top 20 valuable clubs this year & Ashley is a billionaire. It's not a surprise & it's not a surprise Ashley will blow money to be a part of the £2.9bn TV deal.

To be honest, give me Loic Remy on loan, instead of spending £22m on a player who doesn't really want to join & we would have to wait until February to even play him.

Yes but Newcastle are precious about that kind of thing. Inflates the price of their targets because teams know there is money in the bank.

Anthony Knockeart signs.

Ticks a lot of boxes though. Skilful, quick, good cross, chips in with goals, good at set pieces, knowledge of the championship.

Good luck to him. Lua Lua and Baldock back as well. Hopefully we can pick up our early season form.

We've apparently rejected 8m offer from Bournemouth for Lewis Grabban. Two mental things here;

1 - Bournemouth offered 8m for Lewis Grabban
2 - We rejected it

Bournemouth have made a £10m bid for Wolves forward Benik Afobe.

Truly a miracle.

Heard it was £12m, but Howe has just confirmed he's nearly signed.

Swansea rumoured to have bid £12.5m for Burnley's Andre Gray

Good on them

Smaller club doing some good business.

Newcatle about to sign yet another average Ligue1 player in the person of Henri Saivet (ex- forward who now plays defensive midfield in Bordeaux). If that fails he might just go to Bournemouth instead.

Apparently, that's all rubbish, more likely to sign Jonjo Shelvey for £12m

Must be getting both then as Saviet is on Tyneside.

Manchester United apparently want £24m for Fellani

Totally underwhelmed with Shelvey for £12m. I know we need an offensively minded central midfielder, but still not convinced he's fully committed to the game or the profession. Weight issues too & I watched him against Oxford & it was just embarrassing. If we go for more Ligue 1 players, then we deserve relegation. Also, linked with Berahino too, again, another player with question marks over their character.

To be honest, we haven't been playing bad, we don't need major surgery, we just need a goalscorer. If we got Loic Remy on loan, I'd be pleased.

PaulHv2 wrote:Manchester United apparently want £24m for Fellani

That's hilarious.

If anyone need a forward go after Wilfried i think he may leave Citeh.

West Ham linked with a 2m move for Mikel Arteta

John wrote:linked with Berahino

Newcastle are said, to still have an £18m offer on the table. Can see him going, but I think Peace wants Levy to come pleading again for Saido & doing a deal with Townsend.

Fernando wrote:If anyone need a forward go after Wilfried i think he may leave Citeh

Problem, as ever with City, is offloading players. He's on a long deal, massive wages, so shifting him will be difficult. £28m is what they're asking for him too? Shown his quality in this league, when he's the focus, but can't see anyone stumping up that amount for him. Also, in the future, the ACON always is a downside, as Ivory Coast usually make the final & he misses nearly six weeks of PL football

Alistair wrote:Must be getting both then as Saviet is on Tyneside.

Apparently, it's all agreed & he's signed a five-year deal. I fear the worst.

Read that Tiote is off, so might be his replacement. Shelvey is the signing i think you need. Don't buy his performances recently are his temperament, i think he's unhappy at Swansea; start of the season and last year he was superb for them. Steal, determination and a battler. Alongside Colback and some creativity he could do a job.

Spanish Media reporting a United delegation are negotiating for Saul Niguez of Atletico.

Is that the same delegation that went to the bank for Herrera?

Probably Although with Fellaini linked with a move away & Carrick at 35 could be a good move.

I wonder if it's partly due to the recent links to Simeone?

£15m for Saul Niguez

Every penny of a bargain there if can get it done. I believe it's a buy out clause
