January Transfer Window

[Toronto Villa]

Looks like Swansea lad McBurnie is off to try and keep Sunderland in the Championship

Sky reporting Man City walked away from the Mahrez deal after Leicester reportedly demanded £95m! FFP doesn't really apply in the PL does it?

Yes. Raking in hundreds of millions in revenue is the key. And the bit that's a bit harder if you're not there.

They offered Asa Hartford and Dennis Tueart plus cash apparently.

What is Greg Evans saying? With his alluding to interest target no offence to grabban but that couldn't be it. One more attacker or left full back would be really very decent!

[brian green]

They would have taken it but Leicester were worried that Tueart might fail the medical.  No flies on the Foxes.

anyone else remember when they found out Asa Hartford had a hole in his heart when at Man City
I remember it being massive news back then

Remember it well, he still went on to have a very decent career.  What's he at these days, anyone know?

Being used as the makeweight for the Mahrez deal?

A bit like the time we found out Stephen Ireland was an arsehole

don't know but he's 68 this year according to Wiki so it's not given up on him yet

Sadly that was terminal

We are hoping to get promoted to this division of madness. If ever the Sky money takes a downturn the premiership will become the proverbial house of cards.

Hartford was in digs when he was first at WBA not far from me.  About my age I had a few kick arounds with him, good lad.  As my dad said at the time "If he has a hole in the heart, I want one."

it's a long time ago,
but I Remember him being a busy little player with skills,  similar to Archie Gemmill

He's just a bloke doing a job.

Poorly

Surely you'd think the prerequisite of the job would be to be an actual Villa fan?

Not at all. The main qualification would be to be good at the job; some of the best we've had have supported other clubs.

Agree totally. Evans and Baggie Bill are both awful reporters though. Kendrick at least writes well and even though he is Villa does tend to be mildly balanced. That Evans is still in the job amazes me.

My train of thought was if you're gonna be that bad at least if you were a Villa fan your enthusiasm, disappointment and authenticity would actually come through (and therefore be an improvement). Also there must also be some great/good journalists out there who are Villa fans who would actually love the job. It sticks out more to me because besides the fact that I don't rate him I have the feeling he doesn't actually even like the club?! Although that might just be the Mail? But I take on board if the journalist in question was actually good at his job who he supported probably wouldn't be an issue.
