Clareteal, don't worry about getting egg on your face by naming names and it doesn't happen. This guessing game bollocks has done that already.

Sky confirming we've accepted £6m bid for Rudy. Glad we've got our money back if it's true.

I think I've given sufficient clues to that one now.

One I can confirm is that we were looking at loftus cheek and bamford on loan until the end of the season. Bamford will be recalled by Chelsea as he just cannot cut it in the premier and was seen as cover for the AFCON. They will both sign on loan for small heath this window now. Which I hate to say but is 2 very good signings for them

Why name Small Heath's targets and not ours? What difference would it make?

Neither will go to that dreadful club.

Real Madrid and Atletico have been sanctioned as far as transfers are concerned.  So it's a player who might be moving to sides of that calibre or -failing that- a mid table Championship side? 

On the basis that said player would surely have a whole host of alternatives between those two extremes, this smells like B-lose to me.

I hope the proposed £6m for Gestede is spent on the midfield.

Nope sorry I'm new here!

Welcome Clare! Is there a hint in your username? Real Sociedad? Madrid? Villa...Real?

I am tempted to do the older-fan-than-yow thing and say McParland-Dixon combo was pretty extreme but Johnny Dixon scored 29 goals in one season so he is honourably excused.  Can you imagine a Villa striker getting 29 goals in a season.  On £20 a week.
I though Anderson and Lochhead were not very close but it worked.
On renumerations I think the next contract for a Villa striker should be 20 pounds per week plus 100K for every goal scored.

Keep up. RLC, Costa and Courtois are off to SHA, apparently.

The grass around the centre circle looks good so why waste it there?

The spanish club is neither that have been mentioned.. madrid are not able to sign anyone at all. It is a spanish club who are in danger of relegation this season from la liga so not a top European side at all. A player who will more than likley be playing in the 2nd tier soon even if he does sign for them.

In regards to the 2 Chelsea loans to small heath.. if you read what I said about it I actually said that both were lined up to sign for us but will no longer be coming to VP.

In regards to Larsson I completely agree with you but begrudgingly must admit that might be the type of player we need. Bruce has signed him twice and he also played with clemence with them lot.

Feel free to catergorise my posts in whatever way you want to. I know what is going on at our club at lot more than most people on here do. If you had the friends I have then you'd realise this.... also is the reason I'm not willing to disclose that first name as I dont want any of it coming back to me.

What a load of cack. Anyone can post 'I know who's coming' then not mention a name. It's all a bit childish as well to be honest.
