The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[supertom]

It wouldn't surprise me if we've looked at Gil, whilst scouting Sanchez. I'd assume we scouted Carlos before the World Cup and didn't just take a punt on him based purely on his WC exploits.
He's probably the sort that's worth a punt. Did okay for a struggling Elche side. He's been in the Valencia first team this season. He may not have stood out, but lets face it, they're better than we are.
It beats chasing someone like Hoolahoop for a whole window (and failing).
He would seem to me to be more in the Okore, Kozak, Benteke, Sanchez punt range than the Tonev, Sylla etc level.

Gil is good. I'd love to have him here.

Carles Gil?.........Jesus Gil is who we need.

He knows how to sack a manager

Sadly he would require as much resurrection as his namesake.

Shame, so no different to having Lerner then.

Leicester need a striker, spend 10m.

We need some creativity, how much money do we think we'll spend?

Pauline, we don't need to spend. We have Tom Cleverly! (Sarcasm doesn't really work on the internet does it!😁)

Pauline??? Damn autocorrect Kindle!!!! Sorry, Paulie.

I hope they both sign. Anything is better than what we have. I also hope there are more to come. Another centre forward would be nice.

Hey Pauline,

[Toronto Villa]

Gil looks a very tidy player. All left footed and a lot like Delph that he can get himself out of tight spaces. He likes to attack down the right a lot, so you wonder if Sinclair will play down the left. By having a winger and a attacking midfielder coming do you now abandon the overlapping full back strategy. That would certainly make us stronger defensively. Gil in some ways reminds me of a young Joe Cole who was a very good player at the same age as Gil.

I would not give this clown a penny to spend, because however good they are when they first get here, he will dam well make sure they are no good in a couple of months time.
The best signing Villa can make this window is a new manager.

[mr underhill]

very well said. no more time, no more money, taxi for Lambert please.

Liverpool linked with a 7.5M bid for Delph and a 15M bid for Benteke in today;s papers.  Given that Delph is unlikely to sign in the summer would you take 7.5M now if it is indeed on offer?
