January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[garyshawsknee]

I always thought Charles was a poor defender,never got close to opponents,always let them get crosses in. Nelson was average,Young was always steady,never made too many errors. Is have him behind Delaney and Walker.

Walker was the best right back we've probably had since the start of the Premier League, then Young, then Delaney.

Don't agree with that.

Walker was great going forward and had fantastic pace, but he was too iffy defensively to claim that honour, in my opinion.

He's young, though, and will doubtless get better.

Steve Stone played wing back a few times

I agree going forward very good but some of his defensive/positional play was very poor

[N'ZMAV]

Walker will be excellent in a few years, will surely get better, especially in that Spurs side.

He wasn't the finished article, but we've not had a right back that is.

Agreed Paulie.

He looks like he has the makings of an excellent allround player.  But even during his short stint with us, he looked suspect defensively.

I'd have Luke Young second only to Delaney, based on ability, consistency and actual contribution to us over an extended period of time. Even if Walker will -most likely- go on to be a far better player.

[Hoppo]

Charles..? Id rather have Craig Charles in fact he has just left Corrie! I did think UEFA's statement about finance would have got people on here talking more. It seems Villa are doing things the right way in the long term. I just hope the Mr McLeish has let his guard down for good and if its going to be stability for a couple of seasons we do it with an attacking mind.

[Concrete John]

Defensively, I think Earl Barret.  He played at a time when there was less emphasis on a fullback getting forward, so was excellent in our best PL era side.

As this is the transfer rumour thread. Were being linked with Rhys Williams young winger from Pompey and a Douglas a highly rated centre half who plays for FC Twente.

Two more bodies (with potential) would be good for where we are now.

"You'll never beat Earl Barrett"!

Didier Agathe?

From Today's press conference:

Reporter: "Alex, what business are you looking at doing before the transfer deadline?" McLeish: "Nothing."
