The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[olaftab]

Another transfer window where I'm more interested in the manager being sacked than new footballers coming in

Yes. There is no point in giving Lambert any more opportunities.

Local journalist @josemsegarra says that VCF and Aston Villa have reached an agreement for Carles Gil. Player travels to England tomorrow.

[Matt Collins]

Sounds pretty legit

Hard to see any attacking midfielder from Spain not being an upgrade on WEIMANN, nzogbia or cleverley for the right sided position

But for a team that's been reliant on directness for a while he's not going to offer that

[godzvilla]

I saw  the game in Spain  yesterday but with no sound . The Camera.s focussed on someone who looked like Carles Gil watching from the Stands with an older Gentleman ( poss Father ) . Does anyone know if he was actually at the Leic,s Ground ?.............Godzvilla!

s
Think it was Karamic that was focused on

Correct, mentioned him a couple of times.

Thankyou Gentlemen , for setting me straight , maybe I was being a tad previous as it now seems he,s flying in today or tomorrow , according to Press Reports..................Godzvilla !

[Tuscans]

Never heard of him but looks amazing on Youtube. ( said that a few times over the years, turned out to be all lies )

I'm worried he's going to need time to settle and could struggle in such a shite team. Would of been better to just get Silva or Hazard now they've adjusted to the climate.

[ozzjim]

He does look a bit fancy.

I do hope Sinclair or AN other player comes in winger/ creativity wise.

[villan from luton]

Sinclair in his Swansea days would be a good signing

[Jim Shoes]

Sinclair at 4m plus wages is a big gamble as is Gil but we need players who can bring some attacking to quality this team. Things can't go on like this otherwise we are going to be relegated so if these 2 are the best we can afford then get them in now.

Squeaky butts time lads!

[ciggiesnbeer]

I like the look of this Gil fella.

Sinclair is the new Ireland/Nzogbia. Pass.

[Richard E]

Sunderland and Toronto are apparently looking at an Altidore/Defoe swap deal in what sounds like the most rubbish transfer since Graeme Souness signed 'George Weah's cousin.'

[ozzjim]

I would take Defoe in a heartbeat at the moment. And for me that's a big climbdown!!  He would do that important thing we seem to have forgotten when we have all this possession.... Move!!  We pass from statue to statue. Joe Cole was the only one moving first half until he tired at the weekend. Move move move... Nooo stand stand stand and point.

I sincerely hope Sinclair is nowhere near £4m. £2.5m tops, and even that's a gamble.
