The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

Where had this news of the 5 mill come from ?

Media.

Maybe we should bring him him on loan.

We can't we have our quota of 2 already.

They paid £4 million for him but around £50 million over the summer to Southampton so maybe part of the bargain in the deals. Look at how much Defoe cost Sunderland.

It's a real possibility according to their local bbc journalist

Not SSN and they are the truethers

[ciggiesnbeer]

Any rumors around us getting someone? I will be appalled, although not surprised, if Randy fails to spend big today. He seems unaware we are headed for relegation if he doesn't do something today.

[Bully2345]

Not buying it. It's a scam to get people interested and watching SSN when nothing is actually happening. I hate deadline day for this stuff

You can 'flick' a coin as to whether or not Lambert is on. Some (Collymore, Colley) saying nay, Liverpool Echo saying the move could be happening.

[Mossie Hennebry]

Tim Cahill is a free agent after leaving NY Red Bulls - this would be a better signing for a relegation-facing side.

It's true desperation, and £5m for a club which doesn't have much money otherwise (it would be over a third of our transfer outlay, including the summer) is a surprising amount to pay for a 32-year-old. However, just because it's desperate doesn't mean it can't work - which is a pretty desperate thing to say, I admit.

If he came, scored 3 winners between now and May giving us 9 points, he would have been worth it. If you said to any side in the bottom 5 would you spend 5 million on 9 point now, you would take it. Lambert will score 4-5 goals if he starts. Depends on how he is deployed by saint Paul though.

Very true. I mean, it's obviously a desperate move in that we're not getting a great bargain on a fee we're paying for very short-term gain. However, I like him as a player and think he would do well for us, and could link up particularly well with Gil.

It's not being reported on SSN

[silhillvilla]

Randy is on his way back from the Super Bowl Cup so he won't be sanctioning much tonight

[curiousorange]

And just to keep you up to date with Bulltwit, some suggestions of Balotelli on loan instead.

[PaulWinch again]

Phil McNulty on BBC in amongst the obligatory piss take of Villa reckons it'll happen if we can convince Lambert. How depressing.

[Jon Crofts]

Another forward not to pass the ball to.  At least we have options.

[N'ZMAV]

Phil McNumpty.
