Deano’s wishlist - the Jan transfer speculation/guaranteed nonsense thread

[tomd2103]

The links with that Serb and the Levante midfielders have gone quiet...wonder how much truth there was in them. As much as I want say 2 solid defenders I would love 1 or 2 centre mids with legs and passing capabilities.

A left back is essential but a defensive midfielder is nearly as important, Tuesdays game highlighted quite clearly that those 2 areas were where we had weaknesses and QPR made the most of it. If we address them well, and get Hause in to add options, then this window will be a success, especially as we seem to be keeping hold of Tammy. Backup for Grealish would be the cherry on top but I'm willing to let that go as we have options to put alternatives in, even if they aren't the same quality and signing someone who gives us even 90% of what Grealish does is a £15-20m commitment.

Do you think there's any chance BB could grow into the defensive midfielder role?  I know he was poor on Sat, but he is just coming back from a longish lay off.  He looked pretty bright prior to his injury.

To be totally honest Chris, I found myself thinking during the QPR game that Bjarnason just isn't really ever going to be the player that we need and it is time to move on.  When the likes of McGinn are available for under £3m then it shows that there are players out there.

Signed Dimitar Sheytanov Bulgarian U23 keeper who was at Leeds (on trial I think) on a free.

Blimey, goalkeeper is the new right back!

Signed Dimitar Sheytanov Bulgarian U23 keeper who was at Leeds (on trial I think) on a free.

Seems to come from a story in Sportal.bg which a re-hash of a story in Meridian Match which is a daily (I think) sports paper in Bulgaria. He is 19, and the son of Georgi who was also a goalkeeper for Levski. It might happen, but I don’t think these tabloid sports papers have a brilliant hit rate.

Goalkeeper Dimitar Sheytanov, who left Levski, is close to a contract with Aston Villa, says Meridian Match.

The guard refused to re-sign the "blue" and became a free agent on January 1. So he can move to the Birmingham team without a transfer amount. The English club has long enjoyed Shaitanov and will now take the opportunity to take it without a transfer fee.

Previously, the goalkeeper was on Leeds's show, performing well, but the "white" refused to pay Levsky for his rights.

More likely John Percy posting click bait on the internet.

Wish they would make their bloody mind up about Abraham.Every time i look there is a different story .This morning i read Chelsea had said he is not for sale and had no intention of recalling him .So where has the latest  story come from ?

[Rudy65]

Bournemouth are willing to let Jermaine Defoe go in the January transfer window. He could score a decent number of vital goals for a Championship side between now and the end of the season. Even if just as a sub. I wouldn't mind him coming to Villa, even if it meant giving him an eighteen month contract.

Good call

Defo is off to Rangers apparently 18 month contract - he'll no doubt score plenty in bonnie Scotland.

Radoja wouldn't qualify for a work permit apparently.

Rumours that his Bournemouth deal is £130k a week. No thanks.
