2015 January Transfer Window- Rumors, wishlists, pipe dreams, and more!

A little early, but clubs are starting to notice the weaknesses they want to address in the next transfer window, so the speculation begins!

 

Many clubs will likely be in for the likes of Marco Reus, as he has still failed to sign a new deal at Dortmund. Major clubs in every country will be after his signature.

 

And one of the more hilarious rumors: Real Madrid say Manchester United free to sign Gareth Bale for £90m as he has fallen out of favor with Ancelotti.

Not a little early in my book. I'm really, really hoping we do something... anything this January window. If not, then I'm fully expecting us to keep going down in the table with a potential relegation battle in our future.

 

 

This season has flat out sucked so far.

What are you looking to be in for?

 

I'd like to see us pick up a stronger CDM that can link up play. We'll be getting Yedlin in January, and hopefully Walker comes back before then, but if not, a RB wouldn't be remiss to pick up as well. But even above both of those, for Heaven's sake, can we please bring in a striker that actually instills some modicum of fear into the other team's defense? Ade is lethargic and plays only occasionally and Soldado is a bust at this point. Kane has looked decent, but he's still a youngster. We absolutely need a world-class, 20+ goal striker. It's been neglected for far too long now.

 

A whole new team.

 

Bah... shaddup ya jerkface! :P   (gotta admit though, I laughed.)

Looks like Arsenal is targeting DM and CB this January...  Arsenal attack has been lethal but defense absolutely atrocious...  Flamini and Monreal are absolutely terrible and could not even defend against scraps...  Arsenal have to score 3 goals a game just to tie...

 

Looks like Arsenal will submit 5m bid for Khedira in January.  After being a reserve squad player for the past few months, Khedira salary demands should be reasonable now.

WTF

Di Maria was Man of the Match in the Champion's League final. He's a huge difference maker. Messi would tell you how badly he missed Di Maria against Germany.

Furthermore, Bale has been a disappointment. His pace is the only thing that makes him useful at the moment. Isco's brilliance has made him appear very replaceable.

Di Maria > Sanchez > Bale

I take it u haven't seen Alexis and Di Maria play lately.

This just proves that you're a casual Real Madrid fan. If you went into hardcore fan sites, you'd get laughed the fug out. Look at his assists, goals and defensive stats at the CM/CAM position -- not as a Winger. What? Do you assume we started out so poorly this season because Xabi left for Bayern? :lol:

We lost a ton of balance when we sold Angel. Just stop right now.

 

It's like any sport. You bring new faces in it takes time for everyone to get on the same page. Look at the form they're playing with right now. Di Maria is good, but he's not better then Bale. That's just ridiculous.

United is playing Di Maria at the flanks now. He started off at CM but LVG apparently wants more physicality there. Well, he's paying for it now. Angel isn't a powerhouse but his pace and motor is what makes him a terror, and compensates for his lack of strength. Di Maria has knifed through tough backlines before. His last game for us illustrated that. Against Atletico, he was the only player (outside Ronaldo) creating energy and penetrating through their defenses.

Alexis is an explosive player himself but Di Maria would never see the bench unless he's injured or aging. His playmaking abilities, defense and pace are world class.

Di Maria and Alexis play the same position. Both are wingers. Alexis is more technical than Di Maria, watch the some of the premier league games.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
