The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[ozzjim]

We need more this window. We clearly need a winger.

He doesn't believe in them. Alan Hutton can do everything up and down the wing!

Apart from find a man from a simple cross.

More I think about it the more I think it's that numpty trying to stubborn. 11 goals in 22 and the only player in is a reserve player from Valencia. Seriously what the fuck. There is no way we can't afford Sinclair if we want him. Likewise if he is beyond us then any manager with such a pathetic forward line and a striker out all season would have alternative options. Just soo inept.

Lambert seemed his usual happy self in the conference and managed to suck any optimism or enthusiasm out of the room by the looks of it. Would love to know whether they are backing him or not. Ultimately of your house was up for sale you wouldn't spend £10,000 on a new kitchen would you? I just hope we can survive until we are sold.

Depends if the kitchen is putting off would-be buyers ...

Agree. I've always found putting in good kitchens and bathrooms helps you achieve best price and also faster sale. Anyway wandering off topic

As long as you stick with neutral colours as your taste might not be the same as everyone else...

I don't think we can put all our hopes on a player who's hardly played a game in the last couple of years and failed to make an impression when he went on loan to Albion last season. Maybe he would make a difference but we should have an opinion on his value and not go beyond it just to satisfy Man City. If a deal can't be brokered, there are others out there and who's to say that's not how we're looking at it just because nothing appears to be happening on the surface.

Lerner needs to bake more bread when prospective buyers are around.

What a load of depressing shit. Mr Happy and Mr Cantbearsed. Cheers Villa custodians. I live for the day when these two fuckwits leave my club and we get back to where we should be.

[andyh]

To be honest, I ain't bothered if lambert isn't given any more money.
I don't think we are that desperate for new players right now, just someone who can make ones we have, play better.

[Des Little]

I refuse to believe that the collective business brains of Lerner and Fox, coupled with whatever football nous Lambert has, are comfortable with the thought that this squad can stay up without further improvement. It's just inconceivable.

[wolfman999]

would it not be better/easier for Milner to just have his own dedicated thread?

I've never quite understood the adoration that Milner commands, a player who has broken his contract at every club up to now as opposed to Barry who was a loyal servant of our club but always gets a dogs abuse every time he returns

Putting in 3 transfer requests, talking to Liverpool about a transfer whilst still under contract, dragging the club through the gutter press crying about how he wanted to go to Liverpool, lying that the club hadn't spoken to him about a new deal, coming on here or someone very close to him crying about his kids schooling, and never once putting in a transfer request. Loyal servant? Fucking wanker.

What me, him or both😉

[Tom_Mc9?]

To be honest, the general consensus is that the playing staff are not the issue.

[claretandbeer]

I'll be a tad disappointed if that's it for this window.

You'd be odds on to win the Understatement of the Year award for saying that.

I'm hoping its bullshit. God help us going into the final part of the season with this squad.

This squad is more than capable of finishing somehwere between 12th and 8th.

We have a really strong spine with a 20 goal a season striker at the top of it. The reason we're struggling is down to Lambert.

Very much my opinion.Decent coaching is needed more than anything else.

"Teams know it can go up a few more pounds because people are desparate to get people in."

Everyone understand what he's talking about?  He talks as if he's having a moan to his mates in the pub.

He looked to me as dispirited as I imagine all of us are looking at the moment.  Like the pilot of a plane whose engines have just stalled, he knows what going to happen but doesn't know how to restart them.

He doesn't know which end the cockpit is.

An outgoing transfer. Daniel Johnson has joined Preston on a permanent deal.

Best of luck to him.
