January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[villan1975]

Mebbe one of the mods could transfer this thread to the villa memories section then we could all reminisce when we bought bargains. Or Anyone. Either way we need a new thread entitled "Aston Villa Firesale - Everything must go"

You won't be saying that if Robbie Keane rocks up at Villa Park.

I'd love Collins to go.

He's a decent player when fit and firing, but exactly the type of footballer I'd like to see the Villa steer away from signing.

I'd take Bassong, been a bit dodgy for Spurs but was class at Newcastle. Pacey, good on the ball and naturally left-sided. Can cover left back and I believe he's mates (or even related to) N'Zogbia. They might be decent down the wing together.

Have your sources told you we're selling loads of players then Greg?

we have to sell  to buy so logically that means someone's off

[PeterWithesShin]

I prefer to look at it as buying to sell.

Goal are linking us to Drogba.

Shoot are linking us to Steve bull.

What about Beinlich (sp?) - didn't he go on to be a bit of a star? Not with us obviously.

i went to the reserve game when him and Breitkreutz made their debuts.

I thought Beinlich looked gash, but Breitkreutz looked fucking brilliant.

Breitkreutz got a few games just past the midway point of either the 1991/92 or 1992/93 season IIRC.  Thought he looked like a talent. 

Every corner he fizzed in was dangerous and I seem to recall him nutmegging his marker a few times and generally making him look like a mug. Might have either been Norwich or Everton at home.

Do we get any of the £7m Cahill fee? 20% of the 2m profit or something? Buttons but it keeps Beye warm against the Doncaster cold for a few more weeks.

Somewhere I have an old Shoot annual where the front cover bears the legendary headline 'Gould: Ndlovu is Better than Giggs'.

the keane deal seems stupidity especially from the "wage bill is too high" angle. If the problem is the wages why are we willing to spend 250k minimum for his wages for 2 months. Unless the whole wages thing is bullshit. Now there's a thought....

I honestly don't see the thinking in getting Keane. Hes a two month obligation, but it is still money.

Then again, if his goals keep us up ........

Goals?  Where we're going, we don't need goals.
