January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[ROBBO]

Surely if he's going anywhere its to Wigan, it would be to horrible contemplating this site should it be to us, it would make getting Harewood look like a stroke of genius.

Beye leaving on a perm ..any chance we could get a sneaky last minute deal in with the saved wages ...probably not ..

[Mazrim]

I dont care what hairstyle he's leaving with as long as he goes.

[pauliewalnuts]

Somone said the other day that Phil Dowd should be driving a van. Similarly, Keith Andrews should be mowing lawns or something.

[CJ]

Hopefully he'll be going to Ipswich and he can supplement his income driving a tractor

[OzVilla]

On another note and I know we shouldn't but what a typical MON signing Wayne Bridge would be.  Bet he'd be on 60k a week or thereabouts and been hugely average for years now.

Similarly with Kevin Davies, 34, zero re-sale value at all, looks like his best days are well and truely behind him.  I'm just shocked it's happening for him this early in the day.

From the bbc thingy

Luke Birmingham on text, via 81111: "I've heard James Collins going to Sunderland for £3m with Craig Gardner going back to Villa in exchange. Also Heskey on O'Neill's radar if Kevin Davies deal falls through. "



Sadly i fear MON won't buy any of the tat he left here just out of spite

LOL!  read this and made me laugh!  People always make up loads of bull on deadline day.

I think we should be looking at players in their early twenties from the Championship, and look to develop them into better players and flog them for bigger money a couple of years later. I really can't see any other way we can compete in this market any more

[Greg N'Ash]

yep. Heskey leaving..... Nice things like that just don't happen to aston villa fans ATM. More chance of the club announcing he's extended his contract with our luck.

Wayne Bridge -> Sunderland.

English? Tick.

Past it? Tick.

On ridiculous wages? Tick.

It's a Martin O'Neill hat-trick!

if he wants to show he cares, then he should open up his wallet properly and spend some of the money he's siphoned off since last summer. A pittance in real terms on coach travel  is neither here nor there

Does he trust this manager more than the other one after all Hutton and Nzog cost a lot of money and what have they done?

well if he doesn't he should sack him,  and while he's at it, remove himself from any role in future managerial recruitment because if you lose faith in your manager after 5 months then its obvious you haven't got a clue

He only knows one way, stuck in the past, pity we kept him two years too long.

Good news, QPR are in talks with Fulham for the possible transfer of Bobby Zamora!  I bet Eck is thinking "aaah the one that got away"

We might aswell talk about other teams signings in this thread as clearly, we are not going to do any business.
