January 2016 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Ozzjim]

Pearce was touting himself for Bristol city on talk sport yesterday and it was in the past last week.

I'm hoping that tweet from Alan Nixon about good news for Villa tomorrow means a striker in-coming. Boy do we need it.

Fox has sold a few more shirts?

Stuart Pearce is the name on twitter.

Thats an appointment only slightly less nuts than Keane.

Apparently it's a tinkering of the management team.

Yep and some of them have had names on the back as well.  £££££!!

If Austin wasn't keen on joining us in the summer there was very little chance of us getting now.

I'm more annoyed that we seemingly had no interest at all in Afobe.  When you look at the likes of Norwich and Bournemouth going in for him, I don't think it's entirely out of the question he could have been persuaded.

Would have been good for us this season and, worst case (but increasingly likely) scenario in the Championship next year.

Austin made it clear that he wanted to stay down South didn't he, so unlikely he would have come.  Afobe, however, was just down the road and we were linked with him in the summer.  Easy to say now on the back of two goals in two games, but quite a few people have been talking about him for a while and he was obviously on our radar.

I wanted Afobe in the summer. I think he was perfect for us then and would have been now. 9m is not a bad deal for him at all.

That was Nixon's 'exciting news'? Bloody hell.

[saunders_heroes]

He's probably mates with him.

Wasn't Black Potato heads right hand man?

yes

[Steve67]

Eric Black? Just what we need? Really? How very underwhelming. Striker, centre mid not a has been or never was assistant. Who gives a toss about the management team? Sort the team on the pitch out first ffs.

[aj2k77]

We have to have a bit of faith in Remi though here, he turned down Moyes old coach already so he must see something in Black that makes him want him. Don't ask me what it is.

It seems like we always have to have a Scotsman in the management team. Our recent history of this doesnt excite me one jot.
