The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[ciggiesnbeer]

Typical fan irrationality coming up, i'd never really heard of him a couple of hours ago, now i'm going to be pissed if we don't sign him.

when Newcastle get him I will be the first to say FAULKNER/FOX/RANDY/LAMBERT/THE GENERAL OUT and comment on "how low we have sunk".

Count me in.

Bedsheet on standby.

[silhillvilla]

Why don't we buy him and loan him to Newcastle . Everyone's a winner .

My mate's an MK Don's fan and thinks he's great.

2/3 apostrophes correctly used makes the "Don's" so much more disappointing.

Jesus, based on those clips, I'd buy him and put him in our team, not MK Dons'.










i know i know, youtube clips etc etc

Have seen him play for MK Dons a few times and has always looked class at that level for a player of his age (he was excellent against Man Utd earlier in the season).  He has played For England at every age level and has a decent goal scoring record for a midfielder (almost 1 in 3).  He reminds me a lot of Fabian Delph when I've seen him play.

Flip flop Lambo now going from 6-4 formation to 3-1-6? No plan just desperate flim flam.

Our treatment of Delph could be a definite advantage in attracting promising youngsters. "We signed this lad when he was 19. He was injured regularly, did nothing for years and we could have cut our losses but we stuck by him and now he's an England international."

Signs Lerner has gotten his wallet out again.

Alternatively the money paid for him and the money he was on made the decision easier to stick with him, and made him less attractive to any potential buyers had we wanted to cut our losses.

Alli looks a hell of a good player. Interesting that we have offered 2 now with the rest in the summer. I wonder if that is a bit like when we bought Davies helping some tax purpose for MK Dons. Probably go to Newscastle, but their fans are giving it some on twitter about Villa. So bitter that lot.

The uncertainty about their managerial situation might go against them and Birmingham is also an awful lot closer to Milton Keynes where he is from!!

I'd probably go for Dave's approach if I was pitching a deal though.

[ozzjim]

Maybe so, but they were in first, and rumours are the deal was pretty close. We sign him then brilliant, but not going to let myself watch those videos unless he choses us!

I wouldn't give Bombay duck to Newcastle never mind Deli Alli!

[Steve67]

It's just nice to be talking positively about Villa. Great stuff. Villa will turn him into an international. Enuff said.

[paul_e]

As I've said before, for young and hungry to work these are the kids you need to sign, the ones who've shown they're a long way above the level they've been playing, Alli is one I've named before along with Hughes and Tielemanns, all 3 are going to be top class midfielders.

[ozzjim]

A goalscoring midfield player would be great wouldn't it. There are very few of them about now though that are not late 20's plus.
