January Transfer Thread: Speculation, Lies, Absolute Cr*p and Bosman Rumours

[Brian Taylor]

Bent - get rid. Buy someone who can help. Get Robbie K back. Lescott will be great! Who gives Monkey's where Bent goes! We need experience and strength!

Pat Murphy is a good journalist overall, but I don't think he knows the 'inside track' at Villa Park.

Agree, I think he's an excellent journalist who largely tells it as is rather than blowing smoke up anyone's ass...he does however as a member of the broadcast press appear to have a downer on Randy because he dosent give interviews.

I agree with you, Gareth. I've not heard many of his reports over the past few years, but he always seemed objective and thorough to me in the past. It's clear that Lerner's radio silence isn't to his liking, but then I guess that's inevitable as it makes his job more difficult.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but Spurs have made Jake Livermore available according to the Times. Always been quite impressed when I've seen him, and the right age.

Agreed. Would fill a problem position certainly, especially while Westwood is out. Could see this happening

Except that Redknapp is mates with his dad.

I think Westwood will maybe be fit in a week or so .

He went up in my estimation when he had a row with Robbie Savage last week on R5, don't know if anyone heard it? He told Savage more or less to shut up as he always talks over other people and then when Savage spouted some inaccurate facts about Darren Bent, he was very sarcastic indeed about Savage's research skills. It was getting very tasty and Savage backed down very quickly

its here 25 minutes in: the actual talk about villa starts 21 minutes in.

I have to I think Robbie sounded ok then and Pat sounded abit pompous there, he hasn't got a clue about Villa, everything Murphy said, I could have said as a fan.

@AvfcMysteryman: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang & Benteke would be a nightmare to play against BUT only £10M new money rest would be from sales #AVFC

I dislike Pat Murphy.

[LeeS]

According to the all-knowing Wiki, Aubameyang once decorated his boots with Swarovski crystals  :-$

He would also disappear for a month every January.

Does have a good goalscoring record though

I'm not sure but if you throw enough names around, you get one right eventually.
