January Transfer Window - Rumours, Links, B*llsh*t and Made-Up Nonsense

[Dr Butler]

Keeper wise, Westwood might well be going on a free in the Summer when his contract runs out, i'd be tempted, always thought he was a good keeper.
Certainly better than Guzan.

Shay Given ?   he's not out of reach of us.

True, but i've got a feeling we'll be in for 2.

[Dave]

Isn't Kallstom available for nowt in the summer too?
He'd be very useful in the squad.

He was also brought to Lyon by Houllier. Would be just the type of experienced midfielder we need at the moment.

[SoccerHQ]

sorry but that midfield would get walked over. Where's the tackler?

The two holding midfielders behind them obviously.

[SoccerHQ]

He meant a team like this.

...........Freidel

Lichaj..Cuellar..Collins..Warnock

............NRC..Hogg

Albrighton..Ireland..downing

...............gabby

Hopefully he meant a team more like:

...........Freidel

Onuoha..Cuellar..Collins..Santon

............Flamini..Diarra

Albrighton..Ireland..downing

...............gabby

That would be fantastic.

I really like Onouha, in hindsight probably should've got him in instead of Ireland.

Says on Sky Sports that villa are in for Valentin Stocker from Basel. 21 year old attacking midfielder.

A player whose name rhymes with Shocker.
A headline writer's dream.

i can hear fuckwits like sean custis, mick dennis and oliver holte, rubbing their hands together in anticipation already...

[TimTheVillain]

Head steward at stoke claims they will be in 4 ireland in jan. Thoughts ?

If true, we're talking £3 million.

A loss of £5 million in 4 months.

I'd be giddy like a schoolgirl to get amongst that lot with baseball bat, like an extremely violent version of the three stooges. First up, Emily Bishop's bastard spawn would have his nose shattered. Wasssamatter?

Ashley replacement?

[eastie]

There were reports in the press a couple of weeks back that pulis wants ireland on loan in January but I'd much prefer to cut our losses and sell- I thought he would be the perfect player for us but he has turned into another sidwell.

Although he has hardly been given a chance.

Yes, I know some of them would prove difficult to get and/or expensive but it's just an example.
A fresh, young fully furnished squad. We have money to spend and if you agree with me, more than a few players to sell. Plus I think players like Rakitic, Weidenfeller and Kallstrom will be available for nowt soon and are fantastic players.

the squad definately needs an overhaul of this size, I think most of the players you've listed are gettable too, with maybe Falcao being the exception as I think Porto will demand a Lisandro Lopez type figure if and when they sell him

[ajmant]

Sorry but Ireland has had a chance, he doesn't look bothered, he hasn't looked classy, he has looked poor.

Get rid. Move him on. The only difference between him and Sidwell as far as I can see is Sidwell tries, but the game by-passes him, while Ireland can't be arsed and the game by-passes him.
