January 2020 Transfer Targets and Rumours

Yep - I think the Galaxy has to make a splash to keep up with their neighbors or risk losing more market share. Chicharito would help with that.

It is a shame that guy is playing in Segunda. He is good and needs a last chance at greatness with a relevant team.

Kjaer looks to be possibly on the move to Milan after a failed stint in Atalanta. It would just be a half season loan and he would be back in Sevilla in the summer of 2020.

Nothing against Stuani, for the teams he played for he always performed decent, being played on pretty much every attacking position as well. He never played on a club aiming for top spots. It always works both ways, its easier to get attention on a bad team, However you get less chances as well. But please, a médium level striker is that what we are going to settle on already? 33 years old. That“s like a mediocre bandaid fix for 1 year for me.

Did some more reading on Piatek and while I was contemplating if he was worth a loan Spurs come in with a 28m bid due to Harry Kane being injured. A loan would have worked out just fine but Mou wanted to splash the cash so I guess that’s it. I’m not sure if he is prepared for the pace and physicality of the Prem so he might struggle like Soldado.

Yeah Galaxy need someone to headline their team against LAFC who have Carlos Vela … man just 10 years ago the two jewels of Mexico were at Arsenal and Man U and everyone was eager to see them lead their respective teams against each other, who ever knew that the teams they would eventually headline would be in the MLS.

Well he is very experienced in La Liga and showed quality with Valencia and Barca so he’d be a good signing, and at 26 would fit the age group of the players we have. Would be an interesting signing if BVB can be convinced to let him go.

Nah we signed a shedload of donkeys. Kjaer wasn’t half bad considering the other signings were Muriel, Corchia, Nolito, Guido Pizarro, Arana, with Geis and Carole on loan and almost didn’t get a game. His dealings probably set the club back by 2 seasons.

We had Cristoforo on the books for a couple of years, I thought he was decent but didn’t get enough chances and moved on eventually. He’s still at Fiorentina and has only played once this season. The other Uruguayan player we were in for was Lucas Torreira but Arsenal came in and despite being 5’6 he is an absolute destroyer in midfield. What I would love for Sevilla to have a player like that.

I think so, then he got pissed and left after half a season or so. Hasn’t been able to start much games so probably best the didn’t really play for us either.

Palace have signed Cenk Tosun on loan, not a world-beater but reckon it’s better than watching Benteke lumber around or Ayew run aimlessly?

We have been rumoured with a promising french midfielder from the league 2. 19 years old Julien Ponceau. Looks like a big focus on the french market, not weird tho so many Young talents. Kondogbia II.

Excitement of the striker position increasing btw…

Problem is, it’s hard to get impact players in January. I would take a 6 month solution if he can bang em in.

Giroud’s a talented target man. I just think he’s too posh to come to Sevilla.

Not with Monchi around. :wink:

Saw the game, his goal had an element of luck but he did run and harass the defense tirelessly. Good to see him in an environment where he can play to his strengths. Would he like a six-month excursion to la liga? :wink:

Most recent news around is Kjaer moving on loan to Milan and Chicharito in serious talks with LA Galaxy. Fiorentina signed Cutrone on an 18 month loan. Thought we would be interested in him given his age and availability, oh well.

He’s definitely in that mould, he’s young and physical. We can see how he fares at Fior, if he can’t get game time even there then it’s a failed endeavor. I can’t follow serie a games due to the time difference but do keep an eye on their stats. Would getting Gabigoal and/or Luis Alberto help the team?

TWIT_SOCCERNEWS reporting Monchi is after Paco Alcacer.
Any thoughts guys?

Which crappy dutch players? I dont think De Boer is a good coach or anything, just curious. He is smart about football, just as a manager its a different thing.

Should be interesting.

Okay. De Vrij is one of the best central defenders in the league so. Not that De Boer signed him, but I was curious what crappy dutch players you were talking about but I guess its unclear. Also the Ajax generations of last years have had some of worlds best talents and still have so yeh, not sure why you were talking shit about dutch players. Maybe de Jong is an argument for that xd, but that is not the type of player Inter aims at.

Cavani available for 20million? That would be nice. Looks like he is going to Atleti though.

Chicharito is gone to LA according to LA news sources.

I get where you’re coming from, though Muriel was pretty pedestrian in his Samp days so his arrival did not have me hyped at all. Muriel’s failure also made me second think if Zapata would acclimatize to La Liga or fail just as dramatically.

Another striker that had me interested was Giovanni Simone, he played pretty decent for Genoa and Fior before hitting the second year wall and being loaned out to Caligari, 5 goals in 15 appearances so far and at 24 could be a serviceable player.

Value-wise he may be a good investment but will turn 33 in less than a month so he may only give 1.5 seasons worth of performances. His finishing lets him down at times so he may be at home with Atletico’s growing collection of misfiring strikers.

Chicharito has agreed personal terms with LA Galaxy and Sevilla are quoted to actually make a profit on him, the sum isn’t anything huge but adding in the proceeds from Dabbur’s sale we are looking at around 20m to splash. That is not be enough for Volland so I’ll make a wild guess and say Alfredo Morelos is our intended target. Only 2 weeks left in the window so time to make things happen.

Pozo to Mallorca? Are we buying another RB?

I would hope so, but no one knows a thing. All we’ve seen were links to strikers & wingers.

That’s wild! :joy: We need someone with that kinda fire. But i don’t see him leaving mid-season. Good shout though.
