As a result of it falling apart at the death we are clearly scrambling on a budget with a time limit. At this stage i'm expecting one or maybe two Danjuma level dry loans rushed through over the next 17 days. Or maybe a cheap young relatively unknown statistical unicorn from a lower league.
God fucking Danjuma I’d forgotten about him. I can’t even remember who we were trying to get that January - but it certainly wasn’t him.

Almost can’t wait to see what random loons will come through the door for half a season to make 5 sub appearances and then never see them again until they’re winning the Europa league with Sevilla in 4 years.

I wouldn't be shocked to see us panic and hijack Everton's move for Ernest Nuamah.

Lyon are strapped for cash so I bet Levy is licking his lips.

He's way too raw at the moment.

@Ghost Hardware mentioned that Cherki's off the ball work has improved so whilst he's not a winger we should go get him and at least he'll help break teams downs.

Can look to get a right winger in the summer and Cherki can replace Maddison.

I totally agree, I'm just thinking from the club's point of view.

Cherki is the far superior player, but would cost more and would command bigger wages.

Would definitely command bigger wages but from reports I've seen he would be gettable for 25-30M. However Lyon want a sell on clause which would be an issue.

If we offered a bit more and not have a release then surely Lyon would accept. They desperately need the money.

Yeah his contract runs out in 26 and Lyon need money. You could certainly get him on a reasonably low fee but whoever wants him will probably wait until the end of the window to work out the best deal possible hoping Lyon get desperate.

Is it just me or doesn't those Ange quotes on RKM mean we have our eyes set on someone else?
Naw, it’s him having to semi protect the hierarchy as at that point that all he has left to not getting fired/would set a bad culture if he outright called out levy

Luiz Diaz? Was it that window?

Nah Diaz was the same window we ended up getting Kulusevski and Porro. Looking at the 2023 Jan archive looks like that was the Trossard and Zaniolo one. Guess he’s a bit like Trossard, maybe?
