January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[dave.woodhall]

Can we interest you in any quality unofficial merchandise?

[Toronto Villa]

Hi Paulie you are one of the big beasts I was talking about so many thanks for the nice welcome.   

Blimey you two, get a room





Only kidding mate, welcome to the jungle

[Greg N'Ash]

Zamora would be a shocking signing. Lerner should use his financial veto Cameron styleee if AM gets any ideas.


btw is "big beasts" newbie code for fat?

[timeoutbigbar]

Dempsey is a cracking player.  Wouldn't touch Zamora though, extremely over rated.  Wouldn't mind looking at someone like Wes Hoolahan as an option for midfield though, or Faurlin from QPR if they start to fall away at any point.

[Steve R]

If we were to go for any Fulham player I'd take Dembele. I suspect he'd opt for a club more likely to deliver silverware though.

[VancouverLion]

Id take Dembele too, cracking player. Zamora no thanks.

[Mister E]

Steve Kirk? - no relation to James T? Nah, thought not. Welcome.
Big Beast? - well, in confessional mode, the EffDee of my name does stand for FD; Fat Dave. So maybe you worked that out?.

Darren Bent: in the ST magazine this week (A life in the Day) where he describes himself at a "great club", one of the "Big clubs". He gives all the indication of being very happy and settled. Just good PR? - maybe.

I just don't see a move like Zamora happening for a number of reasons.

Players out? - yes, probably. Players in? - unlikely.

I think we need to play this market carefully if we're after a midfielder.  We won't be able to afford much, so an average to good signing might mean Gardner's development gets hampered.  So I say a loan signing for 6 months with an eye to Gary taking his place at the start of next season, after being eased in and around the first team squad once back from Coventry. 

When I think of AM getting Hleb for Small Heath I think that's exactly what we need right now.

[JUAN PABLO]

Dembele . no chance

[PaulWinch again]

£10 million for Zamora apparently(obviously purely press speculation). If we paid that we would be absolutely mental.

can't see this one happening and especially for that fee.  I think its all been made up by the press as AM was interested in taking him to the Sty few years back.  They seem to think that just because he wanted to sign a certain player for the noses that he would want the same at villa.

[Mazrim]

£10m... yes of course. *owshty bowsh*

Charles N'Zogbia?

Hi Guys, when I made my first post earlier I should have introduced myself, first game back in 1966/67 when we were on our way down was there during the fightback and as passionate now as back then. I love the H @ V fanzine both in hard copy and online, I have been reading your comments for many many years without registering so thought its long overdue that I put my toe in the water with you regulars.
It can get a bit feisty on here and some of the big beasts on here can be a bit scary so be gentle with me, anyway as I posted earlier forget Zamora and go for Dempsey, he has a bit of Tim Cahill about him and could give us something different .   

Welcome Steve, hope you hang around and post a bit more.  I too like Dempsey but don't think he'd leave Fulham to join us, even if we were interested.

Charles N'Zogbia?

OOPS! I forgot about him  lol!  Ok, I should have said that they think that EVERY player he wanted to take to blues, would mean he would want to bring them to Villa as well.
