The Official Silly Season January Transfer Thread 2020/21

If we do have a bit of spare cash under ffp and we really are unable to spend it on a striker I will happily volunteer to run it over to Leipzig last minute to sign Lookman.

I see Wolves have managed to sign a striker in Willian Jose from Sociedad. Very frustrating to see both them and Palace signing strikers when we are left without so much as a rumour for anyone.

It's always going to be harder to convince players to join a team in the relegation zone. I think it'll be late in the window before players give up hope of a better team and join us.

Hoping for a deadline day duo.

Amazing that, considering its impossible to get players in January according to some!

Looks like he's got a good scoring record in la liga as does the new palace striker in the Bundesliga. That's 2 we've missed out on

We have only missed out on them if they had an interest in coming here in the first place, we are in the relegation zone, we are not going to get any half decent striker coming unless they have no other options.

We will have to wait until deadline day it's unfortunate but it is how it is. We are 5 from safety no one will look to join us on anything but a loan deal

[St. Andrews White]

Rumour going around That Genoa have opened talks with Southampton to sign Lemina. Would be a blow I think

They can't at the moment, we've got an option in place. Smells of poor journalism to me.

They can't sign him now unless we agree to it. In the summer they can.

Maybe we want to clear up a loan space for a domestic player.

The £15m-rated forward has been involved in 40% of Fulham's Premier League goals so far this season, yet his transfer rests on Premier League survival.

And Brighton too. No excuses - it's blindingly obvious where we're falling short. Our defensive improvement will be for nothing if we don't get a striker in ASAP.

It's painful to see these sides addressing our most dire need.

I seem to remember us being linked to Willian Jose a couple of years ago too.

Window remains open for just one more week.
Looks like the best we can hope for now is the usual scramble for left overs in the closing day bargain basement.
Unlikely that we will pickup a player there to meet Parker's needs.

Have Brighton signed a striker in this window too? Unless you're referrring to Welbeck from a few month ago?

I assume that they think Moises Caciedo is a striker. A 19 year old who have only been playing in Ecuador sounds exactly like the kind of signing that would be derided on here as a "stats signing".

[Whitestone]

The January transfer window is notoriously difficult. Take into consideration FFP and the teams position in the league and it becomes harder to entice the right player to Fulham this month. That's said I'm sure that the recruitment team are busting a gut to sort what is an obvious area of weakness in attack. There are so many variables when attempting to persuade an individual to take a gamble and move to a relegation threatened team. It is not as simplistic as some would seem to suggest.

The likes of Wolves and Crystal Palace are in a more persuasive position than we are at the moment so I'm not surprised that some teams have made signings and I'm fairly certain that Brighton have not recruited a striker this window despite what has been mentioned in an earlier post.

I don't believe that we will be in for 'the left overs in the closing day bargain basement'. That's a ridiculous assumption to make.

It's also not correct to assume that the players signed or linked to other clubs would necessarily be the right fit for us.

I'm as frustrated as everybody else but all this blame and 'no excuses' stuff is so over the top.

We've made a £10.5m offer for M'bala Nzola of Spezia apparently

According to this Juventus are interested in signing Tosin, and the asking price is meant to be €10-12 million. Seems like a rubbish story though.
