The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[saunders_heroes]

Well he will stick by Lambert because he won't invest the time nor money in looking for a replacement, and even if he did what ambitious manager would take over this club with the pitiful budget he'd supply to him?
Sadly we're stuck with Lambert till he finally finds a buyer. For the club Just hope and pray we stay in the Premier League while Lerner runs us into the ground.

[ROBBO]

The only hope i see for Villa is a concerted and co-ordinated action campaign by supporters to force Lerner to act. If we just voice our concerns and shake our heads we are just as culpable, i am too far away to actively participate but if finance was needed to fund such a movement i would willingly contibute. This has to stop now.

Does anyone seriously think we bid for Lambert?  Just a way of deflecting attention away from the baying mobs for a day.

I questioned it too. No way Lerner would okay a £5m move for a 32 year old.

It was payment in instalments that was the problem.

[adrenachrome]

Gil, Sinclair, delph & vlaar. Pretty good window for me.
Sacking Lambert would have been perfect.

What have Delph and Vlaar got to do with this window?

i presume the reference is to signing new contracts although did not realise Vlaar had committed his future to us

Think he means Vlaar is still at the club

How would he pass a medical?

We payed a lot of money for a player recovering from a broken leg, and who would not be ready to play for at least half a season, and sold him at a profit.

That was a long time ago when Randy gave a fuck.

No wonder our club is in such a shambles. You have scored just 11 goals in 23 matches all season and what do you do?  You send out BOTH your reserve/back up strikers call them what you will and replace them with ? Thats right,NOBODY. A red card or one of those bad injuries we seem to get every few months in training and we are in the shite

[ciggiesnbeer]

I am angry. We just let our last chance to make a meaningful change slip away.

Crazy.

£10m for Ryan Bertrand. The world is mad.

[OzVilla]

Is the Cahill thing genuine?

No idea but it's all over Oz news here that he's left the Red Bulls by mutual consent with immediate effect and is looking at options in the Premier League, China and the Middle East.

I immediately thought of us, Everton and QPR.

Gone to China apparently.  Nevermind, it's not like we're short of a goal threat is it....................................

[Goldie.7]

I know Benteke isn't performing atm for whatever reason but imagine if he gets injured or banned.

£10m for Ryan Bertrand. The world is mad.

You have got to be joking!?

[martin o`who??]

As another transfer window closes with only minimal activity on behalf of Aston Villa football club, it is highly reassuring to know that the Management and Board have deemed the current squad sufficient for yet another spectacular, all guns blazing assault on the Champions league and Premiership titles.

[martin o`who??]

£10m for Ryan Bertrand. The world is mad.

Not if your Ryan Bertrands agent it`s not.

So the one bit of business we did was let Robinson go back on loan!
You couldn't make this shit up

to be honest it wasn't as bad a window as I thought it would be a few weeks ago

we re-signed Delph which was a major coo, much bigger than buying a low cost player
we signed Gill, who looks pretty good so far
we didn't get any bids for our freescoring striker, who whatever we think we will need to keep us up this season if we do indeed stay up
Vlaar is still with us till the end of the season, don't know how important this will end up being but you never know, he is our best defender when fit
Sinclair- well he's a wide player, I'm not sure he is going to be a positive though, but you never know
Cleverley staying and bolstering the midfield for the rest of the season is a major boost

(ok I made the last one up)

but the window has been pretty good, the problem is Lambert,
 it doesn't matter who we signed or didn't sign whether we feel its a good or bad window, Lamberts still the manager so we will remain rubbish

that's is all
