The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Well if that's true it sums up how ridiculous our situation is. Our manager says he's looking to bring in one or two players and then a day later we're not looking to do any business.

He also said for weeks (well months) that he wasn't worried about our lack of goals and we'd soon start scoring, but then he totally contradicts himself by going out and signing two wingers.

Yep he has no idea.

[PaulWinch again]

The thing is, if this is true, this just sums up how there doesn't appear to be any sort of plan or coherant thinking at any level of the club.

[mattjpa]

I cannot believe that is true. Surely he is going to roll the dice, even a couple of 6month loanees would help

The very last thing we need to worry about today is new players coming in.

Gregg Evans from the Mail reckons it'll be a quiet day decline day at the Villa and there won't be any permanent signings.
So a club who scores just 11 league goals all season is scratching around the bargain basement looking for a loan or two. Thanks for that, Randy. You really have the club's best interests at heart.

They'll need to be from outside the Premier League as well - as we've got our full quota of two with Sinclair and Cleverley.

Maybe it's something not to read too much into. Lambert said a couple of weeks ago that Gil would be our lot, but since then we've brought Sinclair in and he says he wants another striker. I'm not sure new signings would make much difference under Lambert anyway.

Leaving it to the very last minute to get a striker is madness. We're dicing with our Premier League future. I've never known this club run so badly from top to bottom.

More important to sign Lambert's replacement ,tomorrow at the latest,it"s obvious he couldn't manage a fart and the players need some new help.
Lerner is still a disgrace for running our club into the ground though.

We've left it way to late to sack the manager. It should have been done in December at the very latest.

To be fair, Lambert is usually active on deadline day, and the press aren't usually up to speed with what's going on. I still think we'll see N'Zogbia head out and at least one more (probably a random European striker on loan) come in.

Gregg has also since tweeted not to rule anything out so he probably hasn't got too much of an idea what will happen himself.

We have a decent squad. Lambert out is the only action we need.

I agree. I honestly don't think the players we have there are that bad.

I think we've got a poor squad with a few decent players. Yes a different manager might get better out of them, but tell me what ambitious manager would work for Randy Lerner and his feeble budget?
