As a season ticket holder for Newcastle, I was surprised by Forest’s decision to acquire Sels. I am truly shocked. This player is not the solution if your team has goalkeeping issues. He is among the worst I have seen in the position and not even fit to be a number one in the Championship. His pre-season debut was shaky and it only went downhill from there. It is all very puzzling. Why add another mediocre goalkeeper to your roster? They already had Ethan Horvath, who was part of Luton’s promotion last year, but he wasn’t even included in the Premier League’s 25-man squad. Nevertheless, I am sure Sels will put in an impressive performance reminiscent of Banks when we face off against Forest at the City Ground next week.
Ben Fisher’s recent report revealed the concerning financial state of Reading. It seems that the League One team is currently in the process of selling off their most promising young players.
Taylan Harris recently became a member of Luton Town and is currently…
The atmosphere is calm. Almost unnaturally so.
In additional goalkeeper updates, Arsenal has decided to let go of Alex Rúnarsson, who will be joining FC Copenhagen. During his three-year stint with the Gunners, the 28-year-old only made six appearances, one of which was a catastrophic Carabao Cup match against Manchester City in 2020 where Rúnarsson was at fault for at least two goals.
He only made one more appearance for Arsenal before going on several loan stints. He is currently on the roster of Cardiff City, but it is anticipated that he will terminate all his contracts and move to Denmark.
Here we go!
Although not related to transfers, I found these quotes from Pochettino to be quite critical of Chelsea’s performance at Anfield last night.
I have not been keeping up with Chelsea’s games lately, aside from seeing a few noteworthy moments. Despite their recent improvement in performance, the fans do not seem very optimistic. Tim Rolls, a loyal fan of 50 years, was at Anfield last night and witnessed their 4-1 loss. His opinions are usually fair and I value them as an accurate reflection of Chelsea’s current state. This brings me to…
Thank you, Tom. Let’s get back to work.
With that, I will pass the reins back to Michael to see what is solidified this afternoon. Goodbye.
Marco Silva has made a statement regarding transfer plans, but did not reveal much. He did mention that Raul Jimenez may be sidelined for approximately six weeks, which has increased the urgency for the team to acquire new forwards. However, he declined to comment on Armando Broja, stating that he is focused on discussing his current players and will not address any speculations or rumors.
It’s time for a change. The most recent Moving the Goalposts newsletter has arrived, highlighting the resurgence of Ghana’s women’s team.
The possibility of Benrahma joining Lyon is becoming more likely. According to Sky, Lyon has confirmed that Saïd Benrahma will be coming to the club this afternoon for a medical examination, as they have reached an agreement on contract details with the West Ham player. It is reported that the deal is a loan with a potential purchase option for £15m.
While Sky’s teams wait outside Craven Cottage and Molineux in hopes of receiving updates on Armando Broja, Tim Gill sends an email with a similar sentiment. He agrees that this calm transfer window is necessary for financial stability (could a salary cap be on the horizon?), but also acknowledges Stephen Carr’s observation that Sky’s prolonged coverage of this lackluster month is comedic gold.
“Good afternoon, Tom.” replied Stephen Carr. “Watching Sky Sports News on this unusually quiet deadline day is quite enjoyable.” He then added, “You should have been covering this liveblog a few weeks ago – it’s much more exciting now compared to then.” However, as I’ve mentioned before, a calm January window for top teams might actually be beneficial for the sport.
Furthermore, there are additional updates from the second level of soccer. Birmingham has acquired Alex Pritchard from Sunderland for an undisclosed amount, bringing the midfielder back together with his former coach at the Stadium of Light, Tony Mowbray. This could potentially be a beneficial agreement for the Birmingham team.
Mason Holgate, who has been loaned to Southampton this season, is expected to move to Sheffield United on loan, according to Sky reports. However, Leeds is also showing interest in signing him. In addition, Leeds is in the process of finalizing a loan deal with Burnley for Connor Roberts, who will undergo a medical at Elland Road this afternoon.
Tottenham Hotspur is expected to send their striker, Alejo Véliz, on loan to Sevilla. The 20-year-old Argentinian, who was signed last summer for £12.9m from Rosario Central, has only made eight appearances in the Premier League as a substitute and has scored one goal – during their 4-2 loss against Brighton on December 28th. He had been out of play since his injury against Bournemouth on New Year’s Eve, with manager Ange Postecoglou initially stating that he would be sidelined for “a couple of months.” However, it seems that Véliz has recovered sooner than expected and has returned to training. Postecoglou’s options in the attack will also improve when Son Heung-min returns from the Asian Cup and Manor Solomon is close to recovering from his injury.
Additional rumors have surfaced among the teams in the Championship that receive parachute payments. Leeds has expressed interest in acquiring Leicester’s defender Harry Souttar, but it is believed that the top-ranked team is not willing to sell him to a competitor in the race for promotion. On the other hand, West Brom has successfully negotiated a loan agreement with Celtic for winger Mikey Johnston.
The women’s team of Aston Villa in the WSL has faced challenges this season. It has become even more difficult as Lucy Staniforth will be out for the rest of the season due to an ankle injury, and Laura Blindkilde, another midfielder, has moved to Manchester City.
Additional information from PA Media:
Aston Villa player Lucy Staniforth will not be able to play for the remainder of the season due to an ankle injury, according to manager Carla Ward. Ward stated that the 31-year-old, who has represented England 17 times, will undergo surgery for the “strange” injury she sustained during warm-up before last week’s League Cup game against Sunderland.
After that, Villa has seen the departure of midfielder Laura Blindkilde Brown, who joined Manchester City on transfer deadline day. Manager Ward expressed in a press conference before their upcoming Women’s Super League match against Bristol City that the loss of Staniforth and Brown is a huge loss for their midfield, as they have been consistent players for the team. He also praised Staniforth’s performance for the team.
We will address this injury and take care of it on Wednesday to have her prepared for the upcoming pre-season.
20-year-old Blindkilde Brown, a player for the England Under-23 team, has officially joined Villa after they activated a significant buyout clause in her contract. Sources say that City paid £200,000 for her transfer.
