The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

Be fair...he showed interest in Wes Hoolahan!

How many times do we here on Sky, "And this is "_______" favourite away ground".....

....about 19 times a season!

Yep.  It's invariably "they have won more games against Aston Villa than any other team" or "he's scored more goals against Aston Villa than other team".   

The reason for that is that we are  the worst team amongst PL permies. Everton and Spurs come close but where  they have progressed in the last 4 years we have regressed.

[olaftab]

What about Altidore?

Could come in useful as cover now Bent has gone onloan.

Rob I think that stand with the lamp on top outside the Holte will be more mobile!

[Richard E]

And brighter!

A mod should move this to the jokes thread.

Quite. Of all the teams who've been ever present since the premier league started we're the only one not to qualify for the champions league. Although we have finished top four twice in the early days

But that kind of stat is probably going to relate to us or maybe Everton or Spurs for most sides

Rob is Villa Kicks and I claim my £10.

Villa join Hammers in centre-back race
Aston Villa have joined West Ham in showing interest in Fulham's commanding centre-back Dan Burn after watching him last Friday.
Villa sent a scout to Griffin Park to watch the Championship match between Brentford and Fulham to assess Burn, 22, who was linked to the Hammers last week.
The 6ft 7ins defender, signed from non-League Darlington for £350,000 in 2011, has impressed this season and could be allowed to leave Craven Cottage for £4million in the January transfer window.
Burn is about to enter the final six months of his contract at Fulham and, although there is an option for a further year, the London club would sell at the right price.
Villa boss Paul Lambert is on the lookout for a centre-back as it looks increasingly likely that Dutch defender Ron Vlaar will leave the club in 2015.

Well , this is a ´Transfer Rumour ´ thread , allegedly.....................Godzvilla!

[Exeter 77]

Wasn't Burn on loan at Small Heath last season but Fulham recalled him?

[Hoppo]

He was shocking at Small Heath as was Tyler Blackett.

[dave shelley]

Fit right in then.

[Matt Collins]

The priority has to be a creative player. It should have been in the summer (this and last)

Joe Cole was never going to be enough.

[OCD]

I always thought Cole was meant to be an understudy for a main playmaker but I might be giving our manager too much credit there.

[Gregorys Boy]

We've signed enough defenders!  Just because most of them are shit

[brontebilly]

Danny Ings is out of contract in the summer. Lively forward that would improve us.
Quality out wide is probably the priority in Jan. Badly need better quality players than Weimann and Gabby.
