January Transfer Window

[mr underhill]

well, look how the last bindipper worked out

[Marlon From Bearwood]

A colleague of mine supports Leicester and has just sent me his opinion of the two players:

Ulloa is a good target man and great in the air, just lacks any pace, but seems to get into good positions.
 
Amartey is incredibly quick, just seems to get flustered, quite nervous I think. Could be a great player when he settles down. I’d be surprised if we let him go, but Puel might not like him.

[ASHTONVILLA]

I see McCormack is back to doing what he has for every club he has ever played for except us. Can't help thinking we could have handled him better.

Bjarnson has been linked with a move to Italy, hopefully for cash and not a loan.

Also seen Elphick linked with a loan move to Milwall. Hope that doesn't happen, as it leaves us very short in event of injury to Terry or Chester and do not see the point if we are not getting a transfer fee.

Ulloa would probably be a good signing. Never heard of Amartey and would imagine he isn't very good. Could do with letting Onomah go back to Spurs if we can as he is not as good as several of our own players and is adding to the wage bill.

just lacks any pace

He'll fit right in

The McCormack issue is a right pain. It's so typical Villa but everyone has to take a look at themselves here. Firstly those who went after him in the first place and then those that couldn't fit him into our style of play, a bit like 50 per cent of the players we seem to sign. The player, who clearly has talent but a crap attitude.

However, you also have to look at the fact the Australian league is a pretty poor level and he has very little pace. Personally I think if we had more pace around him, he'd be a good player for us but I could say that for half a dozen of our players at the moment.

I'd have him back in January if we had built the right clause in, but knowing us we didn't. Hogan or McCormack? Some choice.

He’s playing in Australia, which is higher than the Sutton Sunday league but below the Coronation, I think.

[Gareth]

I watched the game the other day and he looked about as interested to run around as he did for us.  Would be a menace if they ever introduce special teams to pop on and take a free kick though.

Being out there might be a good move, hopefully some mug club will see his goal scoring record and not realise it’s against League 2 standard defenders & take a punt. 

Shocking purchase but Bruce has to take fair share of responsibility that he is still here & has no value, had he not chosen to publicly question his attitude he might have quietly disappeared for 4-5m to Hull / Boro etc last summer and become their problem.

Remember when we signed the Danish Henrik Larsen?

[sickbeggar]

Thing with McCormack though is a year and a half ago he was doing it at our standard, not just scoring but winning POTY awards which is not the M.O. of someone who just scores and does fuck all else. Presumably RDM thought him and Kodjia could play together and they probably could if we had a manager who played more than hoof ball,

[eamonn]

In fairness to Bartelt, Italians/Argies often wear sunglasses at the slightest sight of sun even on a grey Wednesday in Dudley. Gregory shouldn't have taken it as a slight.

[The Man With A Stick]

Remember when we signed the Danish Henrik Larsen?

I saw him play for the reserves at Bescot, against Man U I think. Was around the same time they trounced Liverpool reserves 7-1 with Beinlich, Breitkreutz, etc.

Jon Walters linked to Sunderland I take him as experienced head to help  lead line for 6 month loan. Ulloa first choice or both in have some ariel presence up there.
Walters despite his limitations will always give 100 % and is a nuisance value.

What, Walters and Whelan? Nah.

They’d clean up ....
