The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[saunders_heroes]

I'd love to see us play with 2 up front with at least 1 winger. Width is the key to us staying up in my opinion.

It's be nice if Lerner supplied the funds for a decent striker instead of us scratching around looking for another loan deal. You'd pick up a decent striker for around £5m in Europe, and Christ how we need one! I didn't realise we could be 4th from bottom after today's games are over. That's too close for comfort.

Who are you thinking of for five million? The proven strikers and even the promising ones go for a lot more than that. Benteke was seven million based on one good season in the Belgian league. Norwich spent a couple of million more than that on 'The Wolf' on the basis he scored goals in Holland and Portugal and got a return of 1 goal in 25 games.

£5m wouldn't even get you Bosko back in 2001. Gonna be some doing to get a decent striker for that much.

Maybe a youngster from Dundee United, Crewe or Trinidad? Failing that a 29 year old has been with a beard who has spent the last couple of years knocking around in the championship.

You know I'd think we'd get a better player for £5m than you would if you were scratching around the loan market which we sadly find ourselves in.

Demba Ba please.

Like who for £5m? Look at what Leicester just spent on Kramaric, a player a lot of us had probably never heard of.

[saunders_heroes]

Demba Ba please.

Apparently he'd cost around £8m or £9m. What a lift he'd give us if he came in, but Lerner won't pay that sort of money anymore not even if it helped fire us up the table to where a club like Villa should be.

And Brown Ideye and that Cornelius bloke who Cardiff brought, who they sent back after three months.

He's nearly 30 and dosen't seem to hang around at clubs for very long. Good player mind, but for that kind of money i'd look elsewhere.

I've absolutely no idea. I'm not a club scout and I'm not gonna come up with names.
What I do know though is that you get what you pay for in life. Scratch around the bargain basement and you'll end up with a team at the wrong end of the table, which is where we find ourselves.

Why not? It's a forum, that's the whole point of them.

Ahh the old football messageboard cliche that if you don't come up with names your opinion is invalid. Haven't heard that one for a while.

But I already told you, I don't know of names. What I do know though is that you get what you pay for in life. I've said that many many times. The bargain basement shit is what has got us into this mess in the first place. We need to spend money, not scraping the bottom of the barrel with loans.
