The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[Ger Regan]

So. You believe every injury that allegedly your told about.?
In Vlaar's case yes he has a problem, I'm sure he could/has played on it, I personally believe its not as bad as were led to believe. Vlaar expected Man U to call in the summer I believe he has sulked ever since.

No but in those situations it suits both the club and the player to play along. In your scenario the only one who could benefit is vlaar, why on earth would the club do so here? There's no logic to your theory.

Can I claim this as ITK?

Danish sports channel (viasat 3) are reporting that Napoli have made a formal enquiry about taking him in January.

In a similar vein, being reported over here that Sanogo is on his way from Arsenal to Bordeaux on loan.

Don't know anything about him so can't say if it would be disappointing if the rumours of a move to B6 are false.

[Villafirst]

I see Lambert has already said today "there will be no panic signings" in the Jan window. Fair enough Paul, but why can't you admit there's major problems? Will the window pass by again with no creative midfielder? 11 goals in 20 games? Oh I forgot, we have been "excellent" in all the Christmas matches.....

Sorry its not clear who they are enquiring about. That Arsenal player or one of ours?

they have inquired about Vlaar. A fee has apparently been agreed according to the report. Nothing "Concrete" in the story though i.e no quotes to confirm what is being alleged.

Twitter is full of vlaar to Napoli so I guess we can rule that out .

A gotcha. Cheers.

If we can get a few million for vlaar in jan I would class this as good business. We have adequate cover at CB now to live without him, which we do half the season anyhow

[ciggiesnbeer]

Agreed. It would be very good. We have been fortunate the rest of our CB's have stepped up to cushion him leaving if he does.

I am terrified by Lamberts comments alluding to not spending much this window though. I would class our creative attacking midfielder problem as a crisis we need to be panic buying for. The idea of ending this window without new faces there would be terrifying.

[Nastylee]

Hoppo, you're barking up the wrong tree with this one.

You would, I would, most people with eyes would.

But be prepared to be terrified come February.


And isn't the only "fee" that's been mentioned for Blancmange in the order of €2m, about £1.56m?

[silhillvilla]

£1.56m plus 6 months wages saved is better than sweet fanny Adams.

Fearful February!

The bloke is always injured. Take what we can get and sell him. Same with Delph.

Kind of agree but suspect we will need Delph in the relegation dogfight that is on the horizon.
