The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[Damo70]

It would be fun if quote-athons had a random limit where one too many exploded the thread. An internet age version of Buckaroo.

Good. I don't like cats. Vermin.

We still haven't named the mystery five million pound miracle man.

As I've said before I'm not a Villa scout. It'd be nice to think we have one or two though!

Well considering Gil, Okore, Sanchez and Kozak are among our last few foreign imports, it would suggest we do.

Well exactly! Perhaps they could come up with a decent striker for approx £5m?
Or shall we look to cheap loan market instead?

Yeah, why not. We've saved a fortune on Cleverley not buying him.

Saving money seems to be the only important thing at the Villa under Lerner.

Talking about saving money,  you may need to invest in some 'L E R N E R'  letters for your keyboard, they must be wearing out by now.

Ooooh!

Point taken. I'll leave him alone to look for our new £5m striker.

Your entitled to your opinion on cats but it's a bit harsh calling PWS vermin.

I'd have more chance searching for another loan deal.

Taking this slightly off topic, but didn't we only recently employ our first full time scout?  It was one of the things Fox has talked about.  I assume previously the role was undertaken by Karsa and a network of freelancers.

Going back a bit further, a mate of mine is a PE teacher and coaches the county teams.  As a consequence he was a 'scout' under the MON regime and was invited to recommend players to Villa (i.e. no formal contract).  He used to get invited to the scouting meetings at Villa and basically said it was an absolute shambles.

Do TBAR do loan deals and allow quotathons?

I'd probably double the membership if I went over there.

Dimitar Berbatov - Currently looking to get back to the premier league. Always got goals wherever he has been. He is 34 now, but would give experience either alonside or just behind Benteke.
Kevin Kuranyi - Contract at Dynamo Moscow runs out at the end of the season. Said he would like to return to Germany, but I reckon because of Lambert's German connection, could be persuaded to come to us.
Javier Saviola - Again a proven goal scorer. 33 and sitting on Verona's sub's bench.
Fredy Montero - Can't get games at Sporting. Also a bit of company for his fellow compatriot Carlos. Still only 27.

All I reckon 5m or less.

I'm not sure I could cope with a lazy bastard like Berbatov who occasionally does a pass with the outside of his foot to make everyone think he's brilliant. We might as well put a dummy up front.

I used to play passes with the outside of my right foot. It wasn't to be flash, it was just because my left foot was barely good enough for standing on. I see the same thing with Premier League players - Merson was one. You would think a professional would be at least competent with their weaker foot.

Me neither. I'm allergic to them. They are the furred harbingers of asthma and endless sneezing for me.

See ally cissoko who has no right foot

What sort of dummy? Lord Charles or Charles N'Zogbia?
