The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[Steve67]

Jarvis reminds me of Nigel Callaghan. He can put in a wicked cross from time to time but goes missing.

Nick Jarvis must be past it as a player now? He was hit and miss as a manger as well.

Never had you down as a Sun reader, mate

Apparently our Scouts were in Bordeaux yesterday but to watch who remains unclear although a number of Clubs have been looking at  Alassane Pléa , an attacking Midfielder / Winger who plays for Nice and has represented France at under-18,19 & 20 levels ...............Godzvilla!

Aston Villa and Dortmund watched Bordeaux vs Nice yesterday
Premier League side Aston Villa had a representative present at the Stade Chaban Delmas yesterday’s to watch the first Ligue 1 game of the weekend between Bordeaux and Nice.
Guingamp, Nantes and Borussia Dortmund also had representatives at the match that ended in a Nice victory, with Alassane Pléa sealing a late winner as Les Aiglons won 1-2.

Linked with Leeds' lewis cook. Their fans seem to think he's very special.

[ozzjim]

He may well be, but he is only 17!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

He may well be, but he is only 17!

Maybe Lambert is planning to give up on "our new style" and return to "young and hungry".

[OCD]

Although the senior side has to be the priority, our youth system should be identifying and recruiting good young talent so maybe there's something there?

What are you saying? He's legal

Leeds fan are talking about him as a £15m player already, and we don't even spend that on first-team players!

Leeds fans are deluded. They're such a mess, who knows what he would actually go for and if he's as good as that maybe we'll pay a realistic fee and stick him in the first team.

Joking aside, I prefer the 'young and hungry' philosophy as there is a greater chance that the players will get better and therefore there value increase.  Old pros, like old dogs, don't learn new tricks and therefore are unlikely to improve much, if at all - QPR and most Redknapp team's being the prime example.

Obviously a balance is required, but if I had to choose one, it'd be the young and hungry (with a better coaching set up).

I was happy to read that up to "give up"!
