The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[danno]

I was listening to some idiot reporter on Talksport (invariably which is why I was listening to some idiot), proclaiming how completely super ace LVG is because he has taken Man U into the top four. It was his "sheer will to win" apparently and how they should now have 7 straight wins because they could have "easily" won at Villa. At no point was it mentioned that this apparent "sheer will to win" had been combined with a two year spend at the club of around £200m. I wish Villa had that level of "sheer will to win".

Yep, funny isn't it how the spending of Chelsea and Man City is decried in the media, yet their (and to some extent Liverpool's) spending is never mentioned.  Ferguson was a great manager, but it is very rarely mentioned that for most of his tenure at Old Trafford, they were the biggest spenders in the league.

Yes! The football media really don't like the Nouveau riche.

Liverpool spending money is an owner "trying to restore their former glories".

Man City/Chelse spending money is an owner "buying success".

Of course UEFA is just as bad, FFP is nothing other than the existing big clubs trying
to make sure no other billionaire can muscle in on their champions league racket.

TC is a free agent come summer. It would be very foolish to offer anything more than £2M to manu however it is likely he will not commit in Jan and  wait till the summer when he can negotiate his contract to walk straight into the Allianz Arena or similar.

Just how you enormous prick how? Did he also mention "LVG  tactical genius" but forgot that he was out maneuvered  by Lambert at 10v11 for nearly half an hour?

You seriously think Bayern Munich will be after Cleverley?

Or he can follow Reo-Coker who has been a tremendous success at Inter Milan these last 3 years(I assume).

[N'ZMAV]

Ah, yes....Nigel 'CL clubs chasing me...' Reo-Coker...... I remember that load of old tosh.

The moral of the story is not to believe everything your agent tells you.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Giggle, I remember that.

Still to be fair to the lad I had few complaints about the effort he put in for us.

[Salsa Party Animal]

I think with Tom Cleverley joining us on permanent deal, and Ron is leaving us. Let say the fee is 7 millions pounds. Why not do a straight swap with no fee and maybe another player on loan.

The thought of handing over any sort of money to Yanited makes my skin crawl. Especially for cleverly. If we can keep him til may fine but then unless he wants to join as a free agent on westwood like wages I'd say thanks but no thanks.

[Toronto Villa]

Do you really think Westwood wages is the going rate for a player who participated in Man U's last championship winning side and has represented England?

Are you kidding ? Lol. He was like an extra in The Ten Commandments .
There's a reason Yanited got shot and he's as far away from the England squad as you and I.
