It's January. The transfer window is now open in most leagues. There have been some signings. There will be a lot of transfer rumors. Most will be false. The only transfers your club will do this month will be sending some U-21 players to League One clubs. Unless you are talking about Chelsea, because they're selling Cesc to some Turkish or Chinese or UAE club. Maybe someone will hold up a dildo on TV in Watford's parking lot on January 31st, so we do have that to look forward to. Here are some thrilling transfers that happened already https://twitter.com/WestHamUtd/status/1079784285844971520 https://twitter.com/acffiorentina/status/1080121667098157056 https://twitter.com/SivassporKulubu/status/1078338130288300032 Discuss

Manchester United should sell Alexis Sanchez.

Arsenal apparently have no money, and Aaron Ramsey is going to go to one of the big European clubs on a free. It’s very cool.

Milan will sign nobody but we already have Paquetá who is going to be insanely good unlike the last Brazilian wonder to show up in Milano (Gabigol).

Not sure Liverpool are going to sign anyone. There were talks about getting in another center back with the injuries to Matip and Gomez but I think both of those weren't as bad as first feared so we'll probably make do until they're back. There's been some talk about Rabiot but I'm not entirely sure how concrete they are - the reports are all coming from the French side so it might be a case of trying to drum up some interest. The only other thing we've been linked to is an early deal for some kind of attacker to come in the summer. Pulisic and Werner are the most obvious candidates and the rumours just won't go away. It's the kind of deal Klopp likes and with a bit of an exodus expected in the summer (Sturridge and Origi are both expected to leave) we do need backup in that area.

Would be very keen on a central defender and a creative midfielder. Hopefully we can ship ozil off to China or something to pay for it. Expecting that we make zero signings though

Chelsea signed Pulisic. Edit: beaten, so for content - do they even really need another attacking midfielder? Seems like they love laying down money on players they wont use. Myssu fucked around with this message at 10:27 on Jan 2, 2019 |

And Pedro and Willian are old but most importantly it blocks a young player from the youth setup coming through and we always have to do that.

Regarding United and Sanchez as much as I enjoyed his doing nothing, being a bitter Arsenal fan, I reckon he'll look a lot better in a system that is about fast attacking.

That Fiorentina signing looks like fat Ronaldo before he got fat (or bald) I did not sign my post. I'd also be interested to see how Sanchez does under Ole, given every other attacking player thus far has looked like a new signing since Mourinho left.

It’s rumored Chelsea have accepted 18 mil from Wolves for striker Tammy Abraham currently on loan. Seems a lot of money for an unproven player at this level, but it’s not my money I guess.

I'm not sure why everyone is so meh about Pulisic. He's easily in the top 10 to 20 players under 23 in world football right now. There are 4 wide attacking players at Chelsea currently, of which 2 are old and should be phased out, and the other 2 have 18 months left on their contracts and haven't signed new deals yet. I imagine if this transfer had been announced 6 months ago when Pulisic was in form, people would be much less critical

He's literally 21, I'm assuming Wolves think they can coach him.

Looks like it will be a busy window for Chelsea. Batshuayi, Zappacosta, Drinkwater, Moses, and Cesc all seem likely to move. And there's also the Morata for Higuaín swap that's been in the papers for a couple weeks

Zappacosta seems a weird move, I forgot he existed. Presume he was a Conte signing and Sarri doesn’t rate him?

I've only seen him play a few times, which is the only real way to gauge a player, so feel free to disregard my opinion - but his numbers arent exactly stellar. I'm sure he's good and will develop well, he's only 20, but 58m is a lot of cash for 4 goals and 6 assists in the Bundesliga last year (when he was in form, I guess?) The signing is less of a mystery to me on being reminded that Willian and Pedro are getting on a bit, and Hazard is probably off to Madrid, but I can't help feeling that there would be a lot less excitement about Pulisic if he was from Croatia.

It is a lot for him, and the prospect of selling shirts in the USA no doubt factored in, but that doesn't mean it won't be a good move for him/Chelsea in the long run. Also: https://twitter.com/honigstein/status/1080473889619218433

If you’re watching the national team, odds are you’re watching the EPL already since it is much more accessible with the NBC deal.
