The not so Official January Transfer Rumour Thread

Ha, if true he can move right into the house his father bought many a transfer windows ago.

Confirmed: Zinedine Zidanes son Enzo Fernández Zidane will have a 2 month trial at Melwood from the start of February to April 2013. The 17 year old midfielder started at Real Madrids academy at the age of 9. Enzo got his debut for the Real Madrid B team in 2010, 49 matches with 38 assists and 8 goals so far.

Such a shame how injuries wrecked Pato. he looked incredible a few years ago.

One of the very few times MilanLab has failed a player.

They bulked him up too much ... when he arrived he was a skinny little lad, and MilanLab got him to bulk up too much too quick - which is exactly when all his injuries started to occur.

It's a shame that his career never hit the heights it could & should have, because he is one hell of a footballer.
 
Why are people even taking these Sneijder and Pato links seriously?

When has this place ever seemed like a place of calm, cool, measured reflection of facts.

My only surprise is we haven't started the name puns & song titles yet.

It was enough to ensure Tello came nowhere near us.
 
That surprises me.

I still think Henderson can/will be a good player. Whether we have the time to wait is highly questionable but he's a sunk cost, IMO, who can only improve.
 
I agree, but we need a dm more than we need Henderson atm.
If we can get a Sissoko type player for the same fee then we should go for it.

I like Henderson and thinks he could develop in to a good player.
But with Lucas, Allen, Gerrard, Sahin, Shelvey and Suso - we really are missing a top notch dm.
 
Moussa isn't really a DM Hansern, he's more a box-to-box type, which isn't the sort of player we're really crying out for.
 
I'd take M'Vila as a replacement, if we could get a decent fee for Henderson. 22 years old, big strong lad, French international and wants to play in the premiership. Seems like he is a better player.
 
Henderson is young, English and a good enough player for the squad. I don't understand why we sell him unless someone is prepared to hand us our 16M back, which clearly isn't going to happen.
 
Would you take Momo Sissoko (type) for Henderson? I'd rather keep Henderson.
if its the momo before the injury who destroyed barca at the nou camp and the only guy ive seen that beat up essien when he was in his prime while taking out ballack at the same time then yeah.

I think its because we have too many non scoring central midfielders.
 
But those were the exceptions. More often than not he was roaming around aimlessly, running into dead allies. His physique was great but his match intelligence was definitely far from satisfying.

But with
Lucas
Allen
Gerrard
Şahin
Shelvey
Suso

Lucas still not sure what sort of player he is then to be honest , I thought he was a defensive midfielder, if he isn't then he is contributing fuck all
Allen not sure exactly what Joe is either, and neat little spoiler who breaks down moves and moves the ball quickly and simply, with a constructive midfielder alongside he is great
Gerrard and how many seasons has he got left in him exactly?
Şahin won't be here next term
Shelvey still some way to go to convince everyone
Suso ditto but is not competing for the same role as Henderson
An out and out defensive midfielder severely limits your options unless you have a real world class one like Mascher and or you play with three at the back.
We would be mad to get rid of Henderson now, we won't get anywhere near what we paid and he does show signs of significant improvement and you can't fault his attitude
 
According to the Mirror and the Daily Mail, we're signing 21 year-old French centre-back Nicolas Isimat-Mirin from Valenciennes for £3m.
 
Moussa isn't really a DM Hansern, he's more a box-to-box type, which isn't the sort of player we're really crying out for.


Thats the good thing about Moussa Sissoko, he's capable of playing as a holding midfielder or being a box to box type. He's got everything to play in both positions.
We can also go for Capoue or M'Vila if we just want a holding midfielder.
