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

[eastie]

Sorry about your torn cartilege.
Lots of soup and lying down with the leg up seems to be the way to go!
Regards

Is that an offer lou?

This thread has, quite rightly, become very busy. Has anyone mentioned Savage's suggestion that Villa sign Carragher? Hate Robbie, but for the rest of this season, Carragher would be ideal - on and off the pitch.

Your fault was it? How did you do that to poor Eastie?

Well...I have some very nice soup

Someone on VT claiming Abdoulaye Ba is having a medical tomorrow.

not sure on this ITK's credentials but Ba is the 6'6" Porto centre back we have long been linked with.

West Ham tried to sign him in the summer but couldn't get the necessary work visa.

Wasn't that cascarino's suggestion. Not sure he's got the legs anymore, certainly has the brain.

Just undertook a detailed Scouting Mission on the Ba fella via Youtube ....big lad strong in the air...Physical on the ball and a blocker.

Little in the way of distribUtion in fact he makes Peter Kay look cultured

Could become a bit of a cult CULT hero or be a big old donkey

Thatll do nicely , will you pour it for me in case i miss any transfer action?

[eastie]

Ba would be a good strong signing - any fee mentioned? 6ft 6  so he will make a good jumper.

[citizenDJ]

Just in from a meeting to see we've signed someone! And a defensive midfielder, too! Hope we go after that other lad, Charybdis!

Has that one been done yet?

[danlanza]

If we get Ba in after Sylla, will our next acquisitions surname be Steward?

"Lack" surely? Just for the headlines of Sylla, Ba, Lack.

Nice

Not sure his heart is in it. Wasn't he on ITV last summer trying out for a pundit role? Can see him retiring the end of the season.

[Louzie0]

Yes.
2 mythical monsters in midfield.  Dream.

[paulcomben]

Thrilled if signing anyone at all, but Sylla and Ba are what used to be termed 'ones for the future', aren't they? Not the saviours of a relegation favourite.

I'm glad we've signed someone, a DM at that as well, yet I was hoping we'd go for experience in order to have a bloody good go at getting out of this mess we're in. I don't think this kind of signing is what we need right now, it represents too much of a gamble IMO, and we can't afford to do that. I'm pretty pissed off that the club are willing to dice with our Premier League status anyway.
