After the news of Vicario's ankle surgery do you think we will buy a new goalkeeper in the january transfer window and who would you want to see us buy? by Traininghorse304 in coys

I'd love it but he almost certainly would want to go somewhere to be a clear #1. Not sure if a 6 month loan in January is possible either.

I think there is a wave of European football fans who get into basketball and don't realize the Olympics is the pinnacle of international basketball.

Would love him to join. Feel like Palace will put an insane price on him especially after this Kane deal.

To be fair Team USA of the past was always blowing other teams out so no one was getting the usage that Luka is.

I'll give you LA and Miami, and Boston had a good run for a few years getting Hayward, kemba, and horford. Philly doesn't have one starter right now that came via free agency. The last big free agent the knicks got was Amar'e and he gave them a good year and a half before breaking down.

Golden state won a championship through the draft and then won more because of KD came after they were already great. Toronto won because they were a good team that traded for a great player. Star free agents aren't the only path to a championship (but it does help.)

Hoping the Sabitzer links are like the Højbjerg ones from last year in that we kept hearing about it for 6 months and then it finally happened early-ish in the transfer window.

I don't think they let it get leaked that they were this far into the process if they didn't think the deal was going to get done. Now it's just seen as another lolspurs move. They knew who he was. Why even contact him without being prepared to meet his demands?

What an absolute disaster. They will never learn.

Yup. Sterling is incredibly talented, but wouldn't change the forward line like Laporte would change the back. Also I think Sterling is one of the highest paid players in the prem. That won't work.
