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.
-
Beat QPR to signature of Samba, Big bastard in middle not sure who though.
-
Diame will do, we should have gone for Frimpong
-
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 ?
-
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.
-
Diame.
Palacios & Adam + cash for Bent.
Curties Davies OR John Arne Riise.
NRC.
-
i would personally spend the 8m have time of my life with hottest women i could find, fuck the villa, 8m or 80p we are going down
-
Huth+ Adam for Bent
Riise
Diame
-
Blackpool's Matt Phillips,
West Ham's Mohamed Diamé,
Fulham's Brede Hangeland
-
Huth+ Adam for Bent
Riise
Diame

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,
West Ham's Mohamed Diamé,
Fulham's Brede Hangeland
I would be very satisfied with this.
-
Bradley Johnson
Jamie Carragher
Yossi Benayoun
-

West Ham's Mohamed Diamé,

I just saw someone say that on Twitter.

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.
-
Carragher on loan until the end of season
Dawson for £6,000,000
Huddlestone on loan until the end of the season
-
Joey Barton
Nigel Reo Coker
Matthew Upson
-
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!
-
Craig Gardner
Ava Gardner
Chauncey Gardner
-
Nigel Reo Coker
Tom Huddlestone
Jermaine Jenas
Robbie Keane
Mel Sterland
-
I'd settle for risee and huddlestone on loan until the end of the season
-
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.
-
Titus Bramble for £8m, £60k a week on a three and a half year contract.
-
Titus Bramble for £8m, £60k a week on a three and a half year contract.
Are you Martin O'Neill?
-
Is Risso allowed to spend 3 million sacking Lambert?
-
Blackpool's Matt Phillips,
West Ham's Mohamed Diamé,
Fulham's Brede Hangeland
I would be very satisfied with this.
I just saw someone say that on Twitter.
Tawkspawt saying Diame to sign new contract at wet spam tomorrow despite his release clause being triggered. Didn't say by whom
-
Do the lot on the lad Beckham.

You can buy a show pony in fancy dress that does not concentrate on football at a circus, for much less.
-
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.
-
Mathieu Flamini (1m + 50,000)
Paul Scharner (Free + 30,000)
Wayne Bridge (2m + 40,000)
-
Gianluca Zambrotta, unattached
Gennaro Gattuso, FC Sion
Fabio Cannovaro, temporary retirement
Olof Mellberg, Villarreal, Spanish second division
Thorsten Firings, defensive midfielder, Toronto FC
David Beckham, Randy to sell him the club
Luca Toni, Fiorentina
Laursen, defensive coach
Big Fat Ron, half time speech and diversity coach
Paul McGrath, show a video of his games before every match
Stan Petrov to explain to this shower of shit what it takes to be a man
Tom Hanks, playing General Krulak, dress him up as the general and get him to wander the Holte End, leading the chanting
All season tickets to be refunded for rest of season and all match admission reduced to 4 shillings for grown ups and threepence ha'penny for kids, pensioners etc
-
Offer Bent to Fulham in exchange for Riise, Hangeland and a bit of cash - defence sorted
Use bit of cash to buy Matt Phillips - wide option sorted
Sign Huddlestone and Keane on loan - defensive and attacking midfielders sorted
-
Do the lot on the lad Beckham.
Nah, looks like Brooklyn's gonna go to Chelsea

Jack Rodwell on loan
John Arne Riise
Hangeland

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.
