Football winter transfer window - panic buys - Page 6 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

The argument I'm seeing a lot (but again haven't watched much of palace to form an opinion) is that Bissaka is already very solid and can go straight into the team. What are the options in the 26-30 y/o range realistically?

Rafael is out of contract in the summer

Would love the little nutjob back for a couple of seasons.

Realistically though, I have no idea as I hardly watch any football outside of PL/CL nowadays. There have to be some decent RB's out there that won't cost what AWB would cost and would allow us to develop and hopefully bink on one of Dalot/O'Connor/Laird.

Fulham cancel TFM loan. I don't rate him as a RB but he can't be worse than Valencia these days, might as well send Tony to the glue factory and give him his minutes.

He has been terrible even for Fulham defensive standards... Just to put it in perspective Chambers has the most interceptions.

I dont know what i wanted to say with the 2nd part.. Point is he is ****e

Solanke to Bournemouth for £19m.

LOL Bournemouth, well done plop.

Edit: Wilson replacement? He was linked with Chelsea recently I think.

You'd think they'd have learnt their lesson with Jordon Ibe.

I wonder if we can interest Bournemouth in a little used Phil Jones?

Can't really argue with this.

Re: Solanke.

Read that Plop are going to unload Sturridge and Origi as well to make room for Timo Werner.

I wouldn't mind us to boost the attacking options with even a loan. If one of Laca/Auba gets injured the next in line is Nketiah who has not shown anything this season unfortunately

Sturridge had one good season? I almost forgot about him.

Incredible. That’s half of what we paid for Salah and 2/3rds of a Mane for a guy who’s barely had a start. Surprised we got more than Ibe money, he had at least had a bit of a run in the team.

19m rising to 25m with a buy back clause.

We’ve sold them Ibe for 15m, Smith for 5m and now Solanke for 19m. Not bad at all.

When you've conceded 40 goals in 21 games, the solution is obviously an unproven striker for a near club record fee.

Decent strikers are the hardest players to find. If Bournemouth rate Solanke and have the opportunity now it makes sense to pull the trigger irrespective of immediate need.

I’d rather not spend 19m and not loan out Defoe for 18 months.

Maybe that's more of an indictment on how crap English strikers have generally been for a long time than Solanke though. U20 WC player of the tournament, so maybe he's actually quite good and just needs a club where he'll start every week?

Good for you. Seems to me they are considering more than the next six months.

My very limited eye test suggests he has nice quick link up play for a big fast guy so there has to be some promise there.
