Winter Transfer Window Intrigue and Excitement.

If it hinged on a permanent move then it could be one of the smartest decisions made by the club in recent memory.

Going for Rodriguez would just be bizarre after cancelling Ramsey’s contract talks and freezing Özil out of the side!? Smells like bullshit to me...

I’d honestly rather give more game time to Smith Rowe, or one of the other yoots until the summer. Nothing against Suárez - I’m sure he’s a tidy enough player - I just don’t see him as special enough to warrant blocking somebody else’s path to the first team.

agree - we should look at internal solutions - it has worked for spuds after all. especially as most of our young players seem more forward thinking.

it still doesn't make sense to let Ramsey go when we stumbled on a formation last Saturday with 2 strikers and Ramsey behind the strikers which seemed to work.

Me too, if you don't sign top class or potential to be top class, don't bother, not in the least bit bothered about Suarez not coming, he's nothing special and not needed. Might have been good enough for Sevilla, but with all due respect we're on a different level to them.

Totally agree mate.

All these things maybe true, but we need some kind of injection into the squad if we are going to try and finish in the top 4.

I do think it’s about time smith rowe, etc deserve to start playing but we just need a bit extra :shrug:

If Suarez was loan only, then no problem. But if we were tied into a buy, then it’s not really much of a loan and would waste up valuable money (presuming there is a budget in the summer).

De Jong (no, not that one) going to Barca from Ajax for £65m.

If Suarez is good enough for Barca’s squad is he not good enough for ours.... to play devils advocate...

Not overly bothered as I’ve barely seen him play but Emery seems to see something there.
