January 2016 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[QuintonVilla]

Well if this window has done anything it's united a lot of fans behind Garde because they now feel sorry for him.

[olaftab]

Yes Garde has been placed in a very difficult and embarrassing position especially after he said he will try to find some quality in the January window. This is down to both the Management and, of course, our former Coach (haha) who left a hospital case for him to the point that no decent player wants to touch us with a barge pole. Yes I do feel for him.

He's about as likely to see as much action as any Villa player stood behind the first defender at a corner

[claret and blue blood]

What a disgraceful 'performance' from these imposters 'running' our club. I think a lot of our emotions will now be turning to outright anger.  In Remi Garde we have an intelligent  and dignified manager who so far has turned us into half a silk purse from a rotten pig's ear. Watching the Man City game it was evident that the midfield was controlling the game but there was absolutely nothing upfront. When they had the ball our jokers in defence who would not be there as first choice but were the only other options open to him were predictably poor.
It was obvious that a keeper , right back and a striker with a decent wide man oils turn us into a side that could compete. We have done fuck all about those glaring gaps so we as fans should stop being passive and devote all our energy and anger in making as much trouble for Fox and that hatchet man Hollis and hit Lerner where it hurts in the pocket. I really hesitate to advocate staying away and not handing over a penny till Lerner fucks off but if that's what it takes then do it . If we still go to the games then open revolt and burning effigies of them , flares banners are all OK in my book.
Hate the bastards and what they have done to our club. Fuming!

[Holte L2]

Fox and Hollis are going to get pelters should they be seen at any of our games.

Maybe that's more valuable to the team than a new signing?

I totally understand the anger about the lack of new signings but I think some of the comments on here are going way too far.  We know that they've tried to sign players, we know that one was £5m+ and we know that another we offered better terms than the club he eventually went to so I don't think the lack of signings is due to a lack of financial support, that just doesn't hold up unless you're some sort of conspiracy theorist.  I think Garde is disappointed but I don't think it's because he's not been backed, I think it's because he hasn't done the business he wanted to. He was clearly set on Kalinic given it went to 2 appeals and he seems genuinely upset to have missed out on Doumbia.  Given how late both of those have gone I reckon he believes he hasn't got time to move to any fallback options.  I really don't think they've just decided to not bother or, as I've seen on here, being relegated was part of some sort of plan.

Must be an office prank. They're leaving him there until he twigs he's wasted his time.

[Toronto Villa]

I'm utterly stunned we couldn't bring in one player. Fucking amazing. Maybe we can just change the Holte flag to a white flag for the next home game. See you in the Championship chaps.

They have just called him and asked him to pick up a Bubble for a Spirit Level on his way home.

its probably a cut out, like that copper in the window of poundworld

having said that his movement is far superior to justhead

[berneboy]

*clears throat, taps mic*

TalkSport reporting we are signing Nessuno.

There are numerous reports over here linking us with Ninguém.

and the highly rated brazillian nadir

The Dutch press are saying we are getting Niemand

[UK Redsox]

Greetings from up an Alp. can I request a summary of all the signings Villa have made today

[Duncan Shaw]

To all those at Upton Park tomorrow, we need a good twenty minutes of "One Remi Garde" followed by dogs abuse for the board for the TV cameras please!  These fuckers need outing and shaming publicly!
