January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[TheSandman]

As long as he's not coming back to Villa.

Frimpong, who we were linked to, is off to Wolves on loan for the rest of the season according to the BBC.

That should please the locals, they're forever telling me they need a creative midfielder and they go and get a wall.

So is Bent going to Racist FC then?  Colin 'Patronising twat' Murray on about it with Molby tonight.  It was like we didn't even exist.  I  hate football these days.

[Confusious says]

BBC Sport is saying the Cahill deal is nowhere near done as "they are miles apart on personal terms"

If Cahill does go to Chelski,  what sell on percentage would we receive

It's not been disclosed. But the rumour is anywhere between 10-20% of anything received over the £5m they paid originally.

So basically, nothing worth getting excited about.

Three months of heskeys wages so no need to of load in Jan, relief that he can stay.....



Frimpong is a good player but not sure much better than herd in there and worse than Clark for me... would prefer collision or noble from west ham on the cheap.

[PeterWithesShin]

From the bits i've seen Frimpong looks as if he could be a decent player considering he's only 19.
Noble would be a no for for me, Collison maybe but i've not really seen enough of him. Didn't he have a bad injury a year or so ago?

[kippaxvilla2]

If and it is money is limited then we should go out and take that winger off Small Heath ~ Redmond or Mutch the one who played in Europe the other week.  Looks like a young well Ashley Young.

[Shrek]

An I the only person that things Herd is better than Clark in midfield?

[Greg N'Ash]

Grrr

Logged on for the first time today, saw about 12 pages on this thread and got excited...

Damn you gnasher

Heh.  Soz like, but you know how it is. Women want to meet me, men want to be me, and EVERYONE wants to talk about me, but i've learned to live with it

Anyway i just thought it was worth pointing out that Beye's continuing presence was probably worth more to a club pushing a "one in-one out" transfer policy in PR value than the pittance we'd get for him if we allowed a club to buy out his contract with wages help from us or to just to pay-up his contract. AM was making it very clear only today that he has to sell to buy. I wonder who he'll choose to sell? erm let me guess....the expensive one where the owner can pocket half the transfer fee and let the loose change fall into AM's hands? Like the 15 odd million that disappeared from the Young and Downing fee's? But its not the club's fault. The wage bill is massive and look over there, we've still got the likes of Beye costing us money. That naughty so and so is draining the club dry on his own even as we watch.. Can't see that scenario happening can you?

But then this is the board where most of them swallowed the clubs earlier "there is no transfer budget, we have the money to buy 30m players" bobbins hook line and sinker, so its hardly surprising Lerner's tried it again with almost identical sucess. Bizarrely the same people who used to lecture me on how rich we were, now lecture me on how poor we are, such is their blind obedience.  If Lerner announced the club would now only be signing players from clubs beginning with the letter Z, they'd undoubtably be claiming that was the way forward as well. But then he did pay for a coach trip. 

As they say, there's one born every minute but at least i tried. .....Again.

Why would we need 30 million players? Has Barry Fry taken over while I wasn't looking?

[Dave Cooper please]

Sorry to break it to you Gnash, but actually everyone thinks you are a massive ****** and are all laughing at you, but you carry on regardless.

I like both of them.
Different players and they will compliment each other and they are our future midfield core.

[kippaxvilla2]

Can't disagree with any of what Greg says there.
