January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Is he the geezer who got herd sent off?

And said on MOTD that Herd had stamped on him.
Lying twat!

Interesting,

Putting that on an official site is disgraceful and I hope Villa will be complaining.

Whilst recently that club has been a disgrace, I would say that all they have done under a section called transfer gossip is list gossip about liverpool in the papers. We dso the same ourselves under the news, media watch and so do the BBC, the only diffence is that they show the whole story rather then just the details.

All in the past now, I suppose, but Phil Thompson just said on Soccer Saturday that Houllier said he had Cabaye all lined up for four million, but the board wouldn't stump up the cash for him.

I have now adjusted my expectations from 'not very high' to 'lousy'.

Well if that's true that was a terrible terrible decision by the board.

Cabaye himself said that he was probably going to be joining if Houllier had stayed with us.

So I'd say it's more that the board were happy for Houllier to sign him if he had stayed.

IF Samba and Hoilet are going at 15 million for the pair, I really don't care what the wages situation is in the immediate term, we should be in for both as they make sound business sense. 

its depressing when you think we were once forking that out for sidwell and Curtis Davis ...

That's fair enough then, it's a shame we didn't get him.

That Rhodes kid got 5 tonight. 27 this season. Must be worth a scout.

I see your Rhodes and I raise a Guy Whittingham and a Jermaine Beckford

Although i concede he could also be an Ian Wright or a Dean Ashton.

worth a gamble for me

would defonz score that many goals in that league . no , so he would be better than what we have .

[JUAN PABLO]

Liverpool have always been my least favourite side and each year my dislike of them intensifies.

Im with you on that

Silly statement to make.

Firstly Fonz could score that many in the lower leagues, we don't know.

And second Rhodes could be a Beckford who, is no better than Fonz.

[darren woolley]

I would like us to take a gamble on Rhodes.

[PeterWithesShin]

I would like us to take a gamble on Rhodes.

I'd prefer to take a chance on Lesbos.

As with Robbie Keane we will probably land him in 12 years time....Will he join Robbie, Juninho and Benni McCarthy among the great 'what ifs' of Aston Villa transfer history?

*edit* Never mind, someone beat me to it.
