Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[fredm]

Now the window has shut and Given and Hutton are still with us and on the payroll, would it be beneficial to all if we loaned them to a lower league club, eg Walsall or similar, and not expect any fee/wage for them?

We have to pay them if they are sat on their backsides anyway so couldn't we pick up a bit of goodwill and also keep them match fit so we maybe can shift them in January?

seems like a no brainer to me.

Or we could loan them to a Championship club that will pay a percentage of their wages?

The likes of Wigan / Forest / Leicester / QPR / Reading have plenty of cash to pluck a few loans from Prem squads over the next few weeks - sure Hutton will find a home until Xmas - Given might have to wait until a Championship club has a first choice keeper injured and needs an emergency first choice.

Got no real problem with Hutton, he has at least shown willingness to get out and play games - wonder if Given has the same desire to play?

Don't some countries still have different deadline days ? (for some reason Turkey springs to mind)

I'm a bit surprised that we couldn't find takers for Hutton but unfortunately none of the mid-/bottom half teams in PL needed right backs.

Fixed.

It's about time the January 2014 Transfer Window thread started..........?

Deadline for Turkey is Christmas Day.

After seeing him play OK against England, I was quite hopeful of Hutton going.
For his own sake really, I know he's very well paid, but his career won't be up to much if he sees out the rest of
his contract in our reserve team.

Has Luke Young reappeared since QPR left him out of their 25 man squad list last year?

Ahaaa you see the great thing about Hutton is that he is very versatile.  He can play in any position on the pitch and be just as effective as he is at right back.

I have a feeling that Russia had different dates. Didn't someone like Zenit sign Arshavin off Arsenal after our window had closed in the past?

Yeah, that rings a bell, was it last year? Ironic that Arsenal signed him after the deadline in 2009 too!

According to the wise world of Wikipedia he is still at QPR and has a contract until the end of this season...
