January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[Matt C]

How does he get away with it?

[Dave]

At no point has Redknapp ever admitted to talking to the player without their clubs permission like O'Leary did with Beattie.

Until he does, there is very little that he can be charged with. In footballing terms, anyroad.

[KevinGage]

He's the complete opposite of any other Johhny Tightlips manager who gives next to nothing away when they're asked about transfers.

Thats why SSN and the like positively swoon over him.

Be nice if a reporter actually did their job and asked him how he knows how much a Newcastle United players release clause is.

Personally I'd prefer us to find out if either Fonz or Weimann might be good enough rather thank spunk money on a player like Keane.

Rely on the kids and it'll end in tears.

I agree entirely considering what we've seen at senior level from Fonz and Weimann.  A couple of anonymous appearances in games we need results from could cost us dearly, aswell as dent their confidence.  Robbie Keane, regardless of his age, has quality and has the experience of top level football, and is far more likely to be of use than the kids.

Weimann has played about 20 mins in the league for us this season. Shouldn't we actually give him a chance?

In my opinion Weimann should go back out on loan for the season, and I have very little confidence in Fonz making the grade.

I'd be terrified to into the rest of the season relying on Fonz and Weimann.

[Risso]

Even less thank £7million according to 'Onest 'Arry. I'm curious how he would know what the contract details are of a player at another club. Surely he hasn't been tapping anyone up.

To be fair, I'd imagine his agent has been on the phone to every manager in the world trying to get him a move.

Collins linked with Tottenham according to one of tomorrow's papers. £3m.

[pauliewalnuts]

I'd be glad to see the back of Collins to absolutely anywhere, but moving him on to Spurs and thinking of the integration of the witless hoof into Spurs fabled Barcelona-esque passing game is extra tantalising.

Can we give Harry a discount? Say 100 percent?

[saunders_heroes]

If there's one thing I'm sick to death with at Villa this season it's seeing James Collins hoof the ball up the pitch into oblivion. Good riddance.

[ozzjim]

I would straight swap him for Dos Santos, who always looks brilliant to me.

Well I suppose Spurs will have money to spend when Bale goes to Barca for £60 million....

Good shout, although he isn't a 'McLeish type' player.
