Are we making moves or not?

Nope
United already communicated a whole back that they aren't expecting any incoming transfers this month unless there's a good opportunity. So far, that opportunity hasn't come though they did look at a couple of players for a loan spell like Werner.
I don’t want any crappy loan deals or panic buys, just see out the season with who we have and offload who we can.
Personally I expect 2 loans. A striker for sure, not sure what the other position prioritised will be.
6 days gone in the transfer window. We’ve sent Donny out on loan and are in the process of loaning Hannibal out . We’ve avoided Werner after been linked to him. What are you actually expecting 6 days in when we’ve no funds and we’ll probably loan in a striker . Mbappe ? haaland ?
I’ve bad news we’ve only one loan left unless we send back Amrabat.
So I'm seeing Pellistri is going to be sent out on loan with option to buy?
I only expect a loan signing, and want/expect to see the first steps of the mass clear out of the squad. If e.g. Martial is leaving this window I expect the loan signing to be a striker.
We don’t need this bloated and expensive squad now that our fixture list isn’t cramped for the rest of season so sales are the most important I would say to rebuild in the summer and forwards..
We need some decent scouts that can scout South America. They always have young talents over there. Look at Alvarez and Jesus.
Weren’t we heavily linked with both before they joined City? Alvarez almost certainly.
There will be a loan signing at most. We don't have the funds for anything permanent, nor should we be going for any before the summer.
Yes, even West Ham could have signed Alvarez but rejected the chance. I remember us being linked to Jesus, he had a phone call with both Pep and Jose but obviously was more convinced with Peps project.
So another Weghorst/Ighalo type signing then.
I barely see the point myself with one game a week and players returning.
I’m pretty sure our scouts knew about the likes of Alvarez and Jesus. The club just decided not to pursue them any further. I think the scouting department gets a bad rap, there was a list doing the rounds ages ago with all the players the scouting department have recommended to the club over the years and it was pretty impressive. Most of them are now established top players, it was either down to the managers or sheer incompetence from the board that we never made a serious attempt to sign these players at the time.
Probably the incompetence from the board then. I remember Jose having a personal phone call with Jesus to try and convince him to join but city beat us to him. Surely the board have to release the funds with this kind of players.
Same. Unless it’s someone that’s 100% going to improve us then we may aswell walk away and ride it out until the summer.
Moving players out only by the looks of it…
Some people want/expect several outgoings. So far only VDB is gone, hopefully it’s just the beginning
We'll sign someone on loan otherwise we wouldn't have sent Reguilon back
Probably but we sent Reguilon back because Malacia and Shaw are back. And he was barely being used anyway.
I know people say that it's hard to deals in Jan cos no club wants to sell their best players...
However what about the up and coming players with low release clauses? Surely in these cases the selling club has little say in the matter.
We have so many areas of the pitch where we are short - are none of these guys viable?

It seems Ineos want to do a full assessment and bring in their own people. What's the point of buying someone permanently when the new DOF might think we can get someone better for cheaper? This season is a bust so may as well just ride it out
True, but Ten Hag isn't making his squad weaker for no reason. We'll sign some sort of loan striker I reckon

Seriously? Our best right back for him. Why not Dalot. He’s shit. At least attackers actually hate facing Bissaka because he can tackle the shit out of them.

What has the one deal got to do with the other
I think we're genuinely interested in Olise, but I don't see what AWB has to do with it. I'd rather we kept him.
I think there's even some attackers who really don't like facing him...
His name really is Messinho? No pressure kid

We don't even need decent scout to detect those players, if I'm not mistaken Gabriel Jesus was highly rated since Brasil I don't think he was cheap to city, maybe 30M or something like that.
Alvarez wasn't a hidden talent neither he was the top scorer and assister in the argentinian league and between the tops in copa libertadores. I actually made a thread about him at the time, he was cheap due to the release clause.
What I mean is those players aren't really unearthed gems, you just need a proper football department to judge which ones are worth and which ones arent. See pellistri for example he cost about the same as Alvarez.
Sad times
Feel like this window will be best used for starting a clearout. hopefully bolster the attack with a loan or bargain, but other than that id try offload martial and line up exits for near out of contract players. free up time for summer window.
It looks like no one really knows why the Sancho loan's being held up at this stage. Tier 2:

I'm starting to think this isn't going to happen.
The truth is he slept in (again).
