The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[Des Little]

These transfer windows are a complete bore under a disinterested owner and a dour  Manager. What exactly does Lerner get out of owning Villa?

It's not compulsory to sign players in a TF.

No, but it's advisable when you've scored a record low goals and cannot create chances for toffee.

I would say that's the manager playing the way he does. Yes we could have better players but with this man .......

I know it's a footballing cliche, but has surely "back him or sack him" has never been as pertinent to Lerner as it is now.

I too would like to say that I haven't ruled out a move to Real Madrid.

David de Gea’s Manchester United future was thrown into doubt on Thursday night as his agent failed to rule out a move to Real Madrid in the summer.

Lets hope they don't decide to come after our keeper when he goes!

I see the Mirror are determined to get rid of Delph for us. Surely there cant be any truth in the story that PL has panicked and is now prepared to let him go for £4m rather than nothing. A) Why would he sell for a measly price when we need himm more than the cash B) Why on Earth would the club shoot themselves in the foot and set a minimum of £4m? Afetr working for the Mirror years back it doesnt appear they have changed, theyre still utter c**ts.

I like to browse the web when I get a spare five minutes. It enables me to have a life.......

And you insist on sticking with an attacking formation that doesn't really suit the players you have at your disposal.

Amazed we didn't sign another winger or striker, even a good one on loan. There must be someone we can borrow from superrich club.

Even unused players at superrich clubs are on high wages, which Villa currently cannot/will not pay

Paying somebody £80k a week to the end of the season is a better investment than buying somebody for a couple of million if it keeps us clear of relegation.  The key is that they have to be a guaranteed starter in the team.  There must be somebody around Europe that is at the end of his contract and that their club is willing to loan him out.  Would need to have the right attitude though.

They were just saying on Sky Soccer Saturday that Lennon would be a good signing for a few teams, and I agree on our behalf.

It'd be instant karma if we signed him and he scored on his debut.

Someone else will pinch him and you'll be a couple of jealous guys.

Mind you, if he signs for the Albion, their fans will be giving peace a chance.
