January transfer window 2020

[Guest]

Getting a slither of hope now, a few murmurs on here and Twitter that *something* will happen

[simongarnerisgod]

strange way of trying to get people through the turnstiles,don`t sign any reinforcements to  push for a play off spot and settle for mid table obscurity,we`ll be playing in front of less than 10000 come march and april?

I have literally seen nothing since the non starter Atsu deal, what have you heard? 

[Commondore]

I've been impressed with Atsu when I've seen him play for Ghana, and he's played almost 20 games for a not terrible PL side already this season. My only reservation would be that I'm not sure he has the motivation to step down to the Championship on loan and push on from there, I'd rather have a hungry player with something to prove.

That's what I said - Like a Harrison Reed at the time.

No idea when. Bit of a waste of time if they want his £30k weekly wage covering in full or most of it and we won't get above £10k per week.

Well we don't know what we offer so I'm not going to slated the club for anything yet.

Don't mind him Chaddy, he will have a negative spin even if we sign Atsu. 

Says we won't match wages

We match wages

Moves onto new criticism without acknowledging he was wrong about the first point

With that being said, 1 signing probably isn't enough....

Nixon saying he is flying home so must be some truth.One of his followers who is in Italy said they are saying it's over the structure of the payments so might be down to the two clubs rather than the player.He flew over on a private jet with Paulo Maldini.The lad must be gutted

Would you consider the window a total failuree if no one comes in?

Crazy,isn't it? Did Wigan change their demands I wonder...

Bizzare 

[Angry_Pirate]

According to the SSN website tracker, we are the only club in the entire league not to have made a signing this month.

I... am... flabbergasted!

How come blackburn would get £5m. Didn’t Bournemouth sign him as a free agent after his contract expired? Presumably not.

Ya see this is the issue. I am an optimistic supporter. I do fight when I feel fans here are being unreasonable 

But 

If we don't sign anyone , it's criminal. There ,I said it.

100%.

Without sounding dramatic....the season will just peter out again! 

[roversfan99]

Nothing happening. No one can be surprised, no signs of ambition or competency and the token gesture of a speculative and unrealistic last minute loan deal will do nothing to suffice.

I think any fan would have to 

[OssyLad]

Business done! Not surprised but extremely disappointed especially with our luck with injuries

Every club where a player has been between the ages of 12-23 gets to share 5 % when he generates a transfer sum. In other words, we'd be getting a bit of compensation, but nowhere near £5 million.

He was under 23 we agreed a deal with Bournemouth prior to it going to tribunal.

Well that’s it then, see you on the summer thread where for the 6th window in a row, we need to sign some defenders!

Are you sure about this?As reports suggest we have a 20 percent sell on Clause and we did a deal with Bournemouth before it went to tribunal

That Korean Ki Sung-Yeung has left Newcastle, and is available on a free. No idea if he's any good though.
