The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[tomd2103]

We need to go get Nathan Redmond - future England winger. Sign him now and we could flog him in a few years and make a profit.

He would be a decent addition to the squad and wouldn't cost too much in terms of a fee and wages.  Might not be an automatic starter, but could play on either wing and give us an option we don't currently have.  Can't see Norwich selling to us while Lambert is still in charge though.

I note that Shaun Maloney is set to sign for Leicester, according to the BBC website.

Someone else who seems to join clubs then get relegated

According to some reports this morning the gimlet eyed Mr Defoe has secured a £14m retirement package with Sunderland

I thought MON had left Sunderland ages ago.

Teams are getting desperate

They know they can't go down

80k a week apparently! Unfuckingbelieveable. Hope their throwing in Altidore as a makeweight

[Toronto Villa]

the encouraging thing is he is looking for a few more players to come in. Hopefully they are not only of the required quality but very specifically of the type we are looking for to really push us on. As much as I have hated the last number of weeks/months, and especially what we have become most recently, my only percentage of support/defence of Lambert in this "new style" era is that maybe he know he didn't have the required weapons to make it work. That he knows the likes of Cleverley/Gabby/Weimann/Zog cannot effectively make this work. If at the end of January none of those players are featured prominently, the full backs are being asked to defend and not be a key focus of our attack, and that we have 2/3 players in of genuine quality to compliment Benteke/Delph/Sanchez then we shouldn't be in any danger at all. The new players if used properly should be able to take advantage of the possession football the manager has miraculously discovered under his pillow.

As much as I want Lambert gone, I want Villa to win a hundred times more. Those two things might not be mutually exclusive, but he ends up sticking around because we have started to score goals and win then I'll gladly accept it.

70k according to the Guardian.

Staggering stupidity.

MON doesn't sign strikers.

We don't

[Toronto Villa]

happy and sad. Happy that Defoe the whinging prick has gone and that Toronto got their money back, or a very good chunk of it. Sad that Altidore is coming, but he may actually do ok. He was very good in Holland and MLS is not that different in standard. He'll probably end up scoring a shed load and get a move back to Palace or West Brom.

Anyway, 80K for a 32yr old on a 3 year deal is mental. Especially one that didn't really want to join Sunderland because he'd much rather have been in London and has had to "settle" for this deal because nobody else was willing to pay it.

Rumours about Januzaj from United on loan till the end of the season in The Times. Now that would be a good signing. Width and the ability to go past players.

We cant have 2 United players on loan at the same time......so Cleverley would have to be sent back

£14m, £70k/wk, Altidore to Toronto.. sheesh and I thought Villa's dealings were poor.

I'd be happy if only half of that deal goes through.
