The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[Malandro]

Loan is perfect.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I can't say I'm overly happy with the deal but maybe he's realised this is his last chance and he's finally grown up.

If its a loan what harm can it do?

[Clark W Griswold]

If it's a loan, will he be arsed? It's hardly the 'new start' for him is it. I hate these neither here nor there transfers (loans) and would have preferred him on a permanent 2.5 year deal. I just hope it means we're keeping the money for someone else.

Ba?

We have the option to sign him for £2 million at the end of the season, so makes perfect sense to me.

[Clark W Griswold]

Yes, I guess that improves the situation.

[fbriai]

Is that likely to be it for this window or is there anything else in the offing? Apart from the Ba rumour, anyway.

[JUAN PABLO]

Whos on loan?  Sinclair or BA

I'm always the black sheep on here

I agree. Given his last couple of years I think we need to try before we buy.

Ba?

Do not be so negative

The argument would be that we could have signed another player instead. Maybe if he knows this is a four month trial loan rather than a 'get him out of the way for a bit' loan he might be more motivated.

[Des Little]

Well when he signs I'd rather see his Mrs modelling a very small Villa shirt rather than him stretching a XXL one.

[aj2k77]

From talk of £3.5m to a loan with option for £2m sounds like a potentially good deal to me. Much better management of the £ than just throwing at them what they want.

[DrGonzo]

I wouldn't say he has that much baggage...
