Winter Transfer Window Intrigue and Excitement.

[SMatthews]

It's a loan with an option to buy for 35 million apparently, fine with the loan but then paying 35 million for someone of his age would be foolish IMO given our resources.

That’s the point - you loan with an option. No commitment there at all.

True but I can't help but worry that if he plays well we won't think twice about signing him, we seem to like players in their late 20s these days.

We’ve been linked with loads of players this window, but yet still no one actually signed.

I thought we had seen the end of fucking about all window until the last day or two???
Even with only having loan deals as options, why the fuck are we waiting so long!

And what’s with all the players in their late twenties/early thirties?!?
Ffs, what is going on at this club?

We needed to strengthen this window to help secure top four and possibly win the europa league, but we have so far come up with nothing.

Look on the bright side at least we haven't signed a guy with a broken back.

There's still time - what's Kim Kallstrom up to these days...?

I wanted this window to be irrelevant from us sufficiently recruiting and selling last summer but just like most windows there's an element of desperation owing to our need to recruit that other clubs can smell.

What on earth do Inter benefit from giving Him to us on loan anyway? I thought his performances were overrated in th World Cup too.

[SMatthews]

Inter have turned down the loan request, which make sense, and he’s now put in a transfer request.

Would still be surprised if this goes through.

Gelson Martins has signed for Monaco on loan, considering we're looking for loan option somewhat surprised we didn't go for him, hopefully we have better options lined up.

We've been linked with Malcolm which would make more sense than Perisic for me (Inter seem to want the cash for him so that sounds unlikely anyway).

We were linked with Martins, a three way battle with Monaco and Newcastle apparently.

Looks like he chose Monaco

[SMatthews]

Not sure why we’d want a guy who’s being shipped out halfway through his first season at a new club. Hardly sounds promising. He also signed a 6 year contract - God knows how much he’d cost to buy with five of those left.

Can we get drogba?

What about Zidane on loan, that might help
