      3 signings in January?
      Dec 15, 2014 12:33:08 am
      Just a bit of fun. Say we have a budget of £25m to spend in January - who would you spend the money on (3 signings maximum).


      Samir Handanovic - £10m
      Yohan Cabaye - Loan
      Memphis Depay - £15m


      And then add Martin Montoya, Fabian Schar, Morgan Schneiderlin, Yevhen Konoplyanka and Alexandre Lacazette in the summer for £50m and we're good to go!  ???

      That's why he asked who YOU would spend it on, not Rodgers.

      With 25 million plus the sale of Lucas to Napoli for 12 million and the sale of Enrique for 8 million = 45 million.

      Given we pay no wages they will have to be kids so probably 4 of the best 10 million pound rated youngsters in Europe.

      if Cabaye is available on loan and we don't move heaven and earth to get him then everyone on the transfer committee should be sacked.

      On their performance so far the transfer committee should never have been hired in the first place.

      i don't think we're as far off as people think we are.

      We just need a goal scoring (pacey) striker, a real Defensive midfielder, a goalkeeper.

      Thats it

      I don't see Depay as a viable option for us, not for that money, not this january, and perhaps not at all in our currrent situation. For several reasons. Man United offered PSV 16 million last summer but they turned it down, mid season they'd want even more. He extended his contract in August to 2018. Depay isn't interested in moving mid season, he vowed to make PSV champions this season for the first time in his career, they're currently in first place. Unfortunately I expect him to follow Van Gaal next summer when PSV will likely accept offers for him.

      Cech - unlikely

      Emre Can- give him a run

      Bony - would cost 20 mil plus

      John Flanaghan,Sturridge back , a good keeper and another goal scorer & it would all look totally different . Back to basics

      Seriously though. I don't understand it and really doesn't help Brendan to watch insipid performances in the team and then neglect Emre when he plays so well when given a chance.

      For me:

      Begovic - 10m

      Pay off the transfer committee's contracts - 15m.

      Lacazette 15m, Perin 12m, Montaya 8m

      Sales- Borini 5m

      Of course, with our transfer committee, only line #2 would happen

      I am just thinking now, has the transfer committee members kicked a ball before in a competitive league?

      anything Daniel does is a bonus as far as I am concerned. If we buy 3 more players for £25mil we may as well pack in now as we will have learned nothing.
      We need players who can come in and make an impact straight away and they cost money we will be lucky if we get one. its a toss of a coin whether we need a goalie or a striker more.
