Suhari Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 He is clearly not above Vestergaard in Ralph's eyes because Vestergaard played at Palace, I think after Leicester Ralpha has written him off. Not seeing the issue with numbers, centre backs we have Bednerak, Stephens, Vestergaard and Danso. Right back we have KWP and Valery, Left back we have Bertrand, KWP and Vokins. JWP can also play right back if needed as he's shown multiple times. We have basically swapped KWP for Cedric, Yoshida was never in the picture. We need to strengthen the defence not with numbers but with quality and that is hard enough to do in January anyway and even harder to do when you have a bloated squad of useless players on high wages. More squad filler seems a bit pointless to me, we only have 14 games left of the season, 1 maybe more in the cup, and the vast majority of those games are against bottom half teams. We haven't strengthened it but I don't think we have weakened it either and clearly its an early start on the clear out we need. Maybe them going early will allow us to get a signing in earlier in the window? Sensible post alert! This is not a drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 So we've ended the window with 4 CB's to cover 2 positions, and replaced a RB that everyone said was **** with a RB who may or not be ****. In doing so we've shifted 2 big earners off the bill. Slattery has gone on loan to get game time but looks like he'll be covered in the u23's by a lad from Chelsea, and Ramsey has gone off to play men's football for the rest of the season. Not sure what the flapping is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about an underwhelming window overall for pretty much everyone? https://www.theguardian.com/football/ng-interactive/2019/dec/30/football-january-transfer-window-latest-deals-premier-league-europe I count 8 signings of any serious financial outlay, two of which were Spurs replacing their best player they've just been forced to sell and signing a player who was already there on loan.

It’s got nothing to do with wanting to gloat. Fingers crossed KWP is a world beater. However, I suspect he’s not and making our team weaker for a quick buck, will cost us in the long run.

sadoldgit Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 Just imagine the meltdown against the Board if KWP has chosen to go to Palace or West Ham instead.

SKD Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 Fair play to Sheff Utd. Not resting on their success this season, in with a sniff of Europe and have spent some dosh trying to achieve it. Might not work, but kudus for trying. Interesting to hear that Newcastle had a £40m bid accepted for a lad from Lille, but the player decided that he wanted to stay for now. Put into perspective how bad our owner is really. No way in hell would we bid £40m for a player and think of the Abuse Ashley gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way Cedric was being allowed to leave if we were 19th So what you are saying is that now we are in sight of safety, we're prepared to step off the pedal and drift to the end of the season, rather than push on and try to achieve a higher place?

Toon Saint Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 Saints must be the only club in the premier league that seem to lump the outgoing players wages and loyalty bonus in as part of the supposed ‘loan fee’. Yet again we end up weaker in January despite Ralph’s previous insistence that we would be proactive. Disappointing as it’s the first time in a long while we could operate from a position of relative strength in the market.

StrangelyBrown Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 Blimey there is some mass hysteria on here... We're sensibly letting Yoshida go, we've replaced a bang average Cedric with KWP a player who is no worse, is young and has some potential and we've let some youngsters go on loan. There is no good business to be done in January unless we want to pay through the nose. We've set ourselves up nicely for a decent summer window. Now I'm not saying the summer will be decent, but I don't think the club have got much wrong this window.
