January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[JUAN PABLO]

Alex_Wilshaw on Twitter: "Jordan Rhodes looking like Bent's replacement at Villa if he goes to Liverpool for £20 million."

replacement for Heskey   YES PLEASE

[N'ZMAV]

Boring

[Mark Samuels]

And Alex Wilshaw is who? Oh, a 19 year old student making up rumours on deadline day. Move along, folks.

[pauliewalnuts]

Rumours about Liverpool having a £14m bid for Defoe accepted.

Mental money if true.

Not to mention he is at the University of Kent and supports Leeds and is based on Dover!  Such a sad little pleb.  CLearly he has NO uni work to be getting on with so makes up this tosh to get a reaction.

If that's true I could see Carroll being at Spurs before the end of the day cos 'arry loyaks 'im innit.

If it is true (14m for Defoe), we should all bow down to Daniel Levy for proving himself a true master of the transfer system once more.

By Liverpool's standards it's a bargain.

How much of that will go into 'Arry's Monaco account?

Depends, if 'Arry still has the profit margin on players deal, he might just be covering his legal costs.

£14 mill for a goalscorer like Defoe isn't Carroll - mental   (but then I don't think any other transfer from now until the end of recorded time will be).

It's better value than the money they would have had to cough up for Bent too, and I think Defoe is actually the better finisher of the two (though Bent's movement in and around the box is better).

I can't see 'arry wanting Carroll in exchange though.  If the Divine Ponytail goes anywhere, I expect it to be back to Newcastle on loan.

[Mazrim]

It's probably just some scouser replying to a comment about needing a striker.

"Yeah, deffo!"

[PeterWithesShin]

Wayne Bridge & Kevin Davies. Some people never change.

MON is a nutter. That's probably well over £100,000 a week between them.

I wonder if Davey is beginning to understand what we were on about now.

[Dave Cooper please]

Splash the cash or leave and preferably the latter option.

Leave to be replaced by who?
Think Venky's or Ranson before you go wishing for Lerner to leave.
Couldn't be worse you say? Oh yes it fucking could!

Dead right. I'm not overjoyed at the way Randy's running things at present, but it could be a damn sight worse

Why does it have to be a Venkys? Why not a Mansour, Abramovitch or ENIC? 

Yes, we could strike it lucky, but I'd rather wait until we have a buyer of that sort of pedigree (and money!) before starting on the Lerner Out campaign.
If, as many suggest, he doesn't care about Villa then rumblings of discontent towards him may well make his mind up to sell up to whoever can pay off the loans, or he may even decide to cut his losses and sell to the highest (or only) bidder, then we could be a target for any old fairly rich shyster.
In a couple of years we could be dreaming of the heights of mid-table Premiership obscurity.

[Lambert and Payne]

I'm not convinced by the Monsours, what's going to happen after they win everything, he's going to turn to his advisor or whatever and say I'm bored now. There fucked when that happens. Not happy with Randy atm, but he's done well when you weigh things up and I'd rather we didn't sell up

Just heard Collins to S'land and Gardner back to Villa. I'd take it if true?
