The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[Tom_Mc9?]

Brian Ruiz has premier league experience and out of contract in summer pursuing him and signing him for nominal fee would be great business.
Darren Fletcher and Tomas Rosicky would add solidiraty and flair .
Danny Ings the goals we need.
And a real coup is to move for Javier saviola who contract is expiring and would add the big name and excitement
I feel these players would develop Villa into a more attacking force let's watch this space for these players being signed.

I loved Championship Manager too. Where's Freddy Adu these days?

[Dante Lavelli]

Tomas Rosicky is not a bad suggestion, and I suspect he would be available.
Obviously not a long term signing but would be good as a loan for a year or max an 18 month contract.

Quality little player and exactly what the squad is lacking.

Javier Saviola?  Is he still playing?  I think I used to sign him on Football Manager ten years ago!

Really hope we make a move for Ibrahima Bakayoko and Cherno Samba.

Busy keeping Tony Luna company on the bench at Hellas Verona.

Well  I never mentioned Yakubu ! The Yak is wanted by Harry Redknapp QPR if he gets him and Defoe then Zamora would be a good grant Holt type loan option.
Also scouting the sports pages polodoski a player rated by many , coukd be loaned out. It would be a great loan if achievable and Lambert speaks excellent German plus wants a more German team playing style . I have to say from all the world cup team squad the gunner podolski probably most get able on a loan. However Lambert's German contacts could dare let us dream.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

If there is cash available say around £10M we must use it to bring in a quality replacement for Weimann/Agbonlahor. This supporting position for Benteke has to be number one priority.

If we brought in Messi, Lambert would insist on him to forget the dribbling and to get an early ball in the box for Benteke, either that or knock it back to Alan Hutton to deliver the cross. Either way it's pearls to pigs.

[KevinGage]

I want some more rambling, gambling streetfighting men.

Either that, or Rivaldo as coach.

If we can't manage that, we might as well close the club down.

[mr underhill]

close the club down? don't be ridiculous. what would we moan about then?

[Virgil Caine]

I sincerely hope that I am wrong but I just do not see any transfer business being done during January. The Manager sees a mid table position and has a belief that the team is playing well - what needs to improve? The fact that a large number of the fan base may argue otherwise is not a consideration.

I would welcome money being spent however,on a small team of expert coaches to develop a style of play beyond the revolutionary tactic of the two full backs standing like sentinels on the corner flags.

[manic-road]

According to the Mirror we are linked to Fulham's Lasse Vigen Christensen as a replacement for Delph. I know FA about him.

I hate to admit it but I think your right. I really like both players but they are not consistent enough in their game anymore.

Definitely need another option up front, as it seems he is unwilling to try Robinson.  There seem to be a number of rumours that Joel Campbell at Arsenal might be available in January and he might be worth looking at. 

[David_Nab]

Zarate at West Ham is available on loan not a bad player would add some goal threat

He'd be one of my choices.
