Title: First Villa signing of January 2011 transfer window?
Post by: cdbearsfan on December 22, 2010, 05:59:27 PM
When do you reckon we'll bring a player in?

I reckon we can rule out January 1st-3rd due to week-end/bank holiday. Presumably you need somebody in the office to work the fabled fax machine and confirm deals.

I'll go for January 6th.

Votes after 31st December not allowed!

10th - 12th. Just a random guess.

I don't think GH will waste too much time. First week at some point. I'm going for two for sure deals, and 1 if the pieces fall into place, but quite late in the month.

I think he will send out an early message that the squad is changing a bit in January (he says with fingers crossed).

It would be a pleasant change not to have to wait until the last seconds of the window, gurning over SSN and that bellend with his array of phones. I've plumped for January the 7th.

And in January staying up with it until about 2 only to find we haven't signed a soul.

Expecting three in with maybe 5 out, towards the end of the middle of January. Could be a few "loans with a view to a permanent transfer".

I'm expecting someone the papers haven't linked us with in the first week

Guess that either a City reject or someone from France or Germany as first signing, and later someone needing work-permit.

Chris Samba's handed in a transfer request, and I reckon we could do worse.

He's a good player, only 26, and he's a big hard bloke. Heowever he'd cost the best part of 6 or 7 mil I'd imagine. I think the link to Wheater is more realistic. A younger player coming to the end of his contract and with Gary Mac having a relationship with him.

I think it will be between the 10th and 12th i would like maybe 2 or 3 signings and 3 and 4 out but we will have to wait and see.

10th - 12th. Just a random guess.

I came to the same guess through the use of a highly complex equation fed through a computer program and reviewed by Mystic Meg.

Anytime before 20th Jan would be nice...god that's one thing I won't miss (hopefully), waiting and waiting and waiting....and having to watch Sky's countdown to the closing of the window until the last gubbins. Then waking up the next day to find Spurs and Man Yoo have made signings after the deadline as the fax jammed, ran out of ink / paper, phonelines were down...
