Title: Your choices tomorrow
Post by: ozzjim on January 30, 2013, 05:41:12 PM
Just for fun.... You have 8 million and no more than 120k in wages total to spread.


Name the players you would buy on deadline day to save the Villa. Nothing to do with links etc, just who you would buy.

Danny murphy 1.5m.  30k. 18 month deal
Mathew upson loan.    30k
Charlie adam  & palacios - swap for bent (+ 5m)

Diame and Hangeland. That would probably eat up all the 8m and the wages but I think that would give us a spine and a fighting chance.

I'd use the 8m to pay off Lambert and spend whatever's left on a farewell/you've sent us down party/wake

Diame is really going to leave spammers for Villa ?
Title: Re: Your choices tomorrow
Post by: Shrek on January 30, 2013, 05:58:11 PM
Diame -£3.5 million 60k a week
Hangeland -£2 million 50k a week
NRC -free 20k a week
Rises - £1.5 Million 20k a week

Diame would need bigger wages to attract so the £1million left over can top up his wages.

Lampard for 18 months.

All depends on how far Dunne is off fitness. If he's back within a couple of weeks I'd scratch the idea of a new centre back and go for Diame, Riise if cheap, with Huddlestone on a 6 month loan (with injury clause). 

Would love to tempt a world class fading star on loan to give the place a lift (a la Dugarry at the noses all those years ago) and add a bit of nous. Couldn't name names though.

Still think its all futile tbh. 8 million is nowhere near enough.

Blackpool's Matt Phillips,

Do loans not count for this?

Michael Dawson, loan from Spurs, 25k (half of his wages).
John Arne Rilse, 1.5m- 30k.
Diame, 4m, 60k.
Title: Re: Your choices tomorrow
Post by: Tuscans on January 30, 2013, 07:18:18 PM
Carragher on loan until the end of season
Dawson for £6,000,000

I would sign Alvin and the Chipmunks to give the illusion that Bannan and Westwood are taller

I would also buy Russ Abbott and get him to dress up as CU Jimmy at all Lambert's press conferences

No players. Fan appreciation day distributes the 8 million amongst paying fans. The salary all goes to the new "fan football advisor" role. Which is me.

Thanks for the cash and UTV!

I'd settle for risee and huddlestone on loan until the end of the season
Title: Re: Your choices tomorrow
Post by: tomd2103 on January 30, 2013, 07:43:58 PM
On the assumption that we are going to play 4-2-3-1 for the rest of the season:

Riise
Hangeland
Phillips
Diame or Huddlestone (loan)
Robbie Keane (loan)

Don't know if that little lot would be in the specified price parameters, but we'd be a decent side with those additions.

Asier Illarramendi £3m 30k wages
Mohamed Diamé £3.5m 50k wages
Yacouba Sylla £1.5m 20k wages  ;)

Would completely change our midfield and make us bloody solid.

It reads like a Moroccan restaurant's set menu. That can make you pretty solid, too.

Ricardo Gardner - free transfer, on a 6 month deal.
Chris Brunt - 6 million.
Curtis Davies - 2 million

Not very imaginative, but I'd sooner take a punt on Davies than go in for Carragher.
Brunt does all the unfashionable stuff, and can get the odd goal.
Gardner- would prob do a job and is on a free.

haven't a clue what the going rate is re wages, so I haven't even attempted it.

I'd like to think that I'll be able to go all day tomorrow avoiding the final day of the transfer window, but I bet I'm pressing F5 before 9am.

Post by: Loxton01 on January 31, 2013, 02:56:43 PM
My view would be as follows

Sylla has been signed for 2m and 15K a week so im left with 6 mill and 65K wages

I would do the following:-

Palacios on Loan 20,000 with view to permanent
Curtis Davies 2m 40,000 3 year deal

Sell

Bent 8m release 60K of wages

Loan
Scott Sinclair on Loan 60K wages with a view to permanent signing 8m

Then play Sinclair one side Weimann the other of Benteke. Gabby on the bench.
