Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[pauliewalnuts]

Even if we could find the wages for Kagawa, he's going to have, at the very least, about three dozen more appealing options than us.

Think Utd are crazy to be trying to move him on in the first place, easily one of their best midfield players at a time when their midfield is a bit naff.

 The days of us signing players like Kagawa and Hernandez are, temporarily hopefully, gone.......but Maxime Lestienne for £4m is another story.

 Sanchez and Lestienne, i would be quite confident of finishing mid-table, and getting better.

Surely Roy Keane with his Man Utd connections could help to secure a deal? Even a loan deal....

I suppose it depends on how Keane gets on with his Man Utd connections nowadays!

What about Lucas from Liverpool  A solid DMC who has been frozen out at Liverpool.
De Guzman is being linked with QPR today for 7m.

Either or both would improve us.

I would take either at the moment, but sadly think they might be out of our price range.

Kagawa? That made me laugh. Ridiculous suggestion. He'd walk into a lot of top sides round Europe. Doubt he'd fancy a skint, bottom 5 relegation battling team.

Both Ki and Holtby played for their teams yesterday in friendly games. I think their Managers have targets to chase and inuries to contend with at the moment but I reckon one or the other will be at Villa before the window closes. £20 donation to H+V if I am wrong.

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

Kagawa is worth more to them off the pitch than he is on it. They'd only sell him if they got a really good offer, definitely wouldn't loan him out.

[RussellC]

I think Holtby's wages will be well out of our reach at the moment. Would still like Ki. Although if Ki staying at Swansea means they won't be buying De Guzman I'd love us to get him. He'd be absolutely ideal for us.

I'll match that if one or both do sign
Either way h+v will be 20 sovs the better

[RussellC]

I don't get the impression that he's a particularly credible source, but that IncogAVFC on Twitter reckons that Carlos Sanchez had arrived in the UK and will be at Bodymoor tomorrow.

[ozzjim]

I will donate £10 to H&V if IncogAVFC is right.

Same would apply if we bought Sanchez and De Guzman.  Those two in midfield along with Delph, would hopefully see a big improvement.
