The January Transfer Window Rumours and Deals Thread

I doubt we'll sell Morelos of no replacements are available.  Who knows though.

 

PS Ryan Hardie scored for Livingston on Saturday.

Coming at this from a slightly different angle. If you sell morelos to a epl club with a 10 percrnt sell on fee you have a good chance of getting another 3 to 5 million.

Sell him to china and that seems unlikely. So demand far far more.

Be interesting to see what affect this has on Morelos. Let's hope he keeps his feet on the ground.

Seems like cause for optimism.  I'm not sure how I'll cope with that but will try.  ?

Yep, I'm generally happy with the window with only back up in the right back position giving me cause for concern.

 

If Tav gets injured I really don't trust Hodson to provide anywhere near the same quality.  Hopefully Jordan Houston is able to make the step up instead (or we can play Docherty or Jack there).

Martin can also play right back.

Yeah, when I think back to what an utter shambles the club seemed to be, both on and off the pitch, when McInnes knocked us back, I wouldn't have believed we could have strengthened the side the way we have. 

Like most of us I really want Murty to do well and one thing this transfer window has done is bring a renewed sense of optimism to the support. There's a belief now we are going in the right direction. Every single signing makes sense, there's a core to  the squad now of people who understand the league, the opposition and the what the club means to the support, that can only be a good thing. I think we're still missing a bit of craft, particularly in midfield, but overall I'm delighted with the progress we've made in the last couple of months.

I would tell Moreloss keep scoring plenty of goals and we will have to sell you when the 40 million pound offers come flowing in

Jordan Hugill: West Ham sign Preston striker in reported £10m deal

West Ham have signed Preston North End striker Jordan Hugill in a deal reportedly worth about £10m.

Hugill, 25, had been the subject of interest from a number of clubs, including Crystal Palace.

Preston rejected a transfer request from Hugill in August, and manager Alex Neil had previously said the club had no interest in selling him this month.

However, Preston said in a statement "they could not stand in his way for the chance of top-flight football".

Hugill scored 30 goals in 114 appearances for Championship side Preston and is David Moyes' second signing at West Ham.

"In whatever I do, I give everything," said Hugill, who will wear the number 12 shirt.

"I'm going to give absolutely everything for this club and for my team-mates. It's a new challenge for me, playing in the Premier League, but they are going to get nothing less than 100%.

"It's amazing to know I'm a Premier League footballer, to know where I've come from in the last five years to where I am now is amazing."

Hugill is a graduate of the Glenn Hoddle Academy in Spain, and played for non-league Whitby Town and Marske United before moving to Port Vale then Preston.

He strengthens the Hammers' attacking options after fellow striker Diafra Sakho left for Rennes earlier in the window.
