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

[JUAN PABLO]

At least It wouldnt be a loan

looks a good player when Ive seen him

[Three Spires Villa]

Che Adams anyone (puts tin hat on and runs away)

[JJ-AV]

Don’t know much about Reach but his profile seems right. 6’1, 25 years old and can play as an attacking left back?

Would bring the height of the back four up and seems to be highly rated at this level.

[footyskillz]

That Alan Nixon has just said we're recalling Jordan Lyden.

Is it right he left back as I think at Villa
lyden played left back but is a midfielder yes

[chrisw1]

I'm not sure how we could afford Adam Reach to be honest.  Sheffield paid £5m for him and I imagine they consider him to be worth 2 or 3 times that.  I can't think that sort of money on a left winger would be a good use of our budget.

[tomd2103]

Isn’t he a winger?

Yep.  Scored an absolute screamer against us at VP a couple of seasons ago if I recall correctly.

We need fullbacks and a mobile defensive midfielder. No more wingers needed. With El Ghazi, Bolasie and Adomah we are stocked. Priorities please.

Non of which will be hear next season. Then again we can worry about that in the summer

Birmingham Mail reported rumours of us bidding £10m for Adam Reach at Sheffield Wednesday? Bruce will love that!

He is a good player, it will be good to have reach around.

Applause

Taken from a NewsNow article, so hardly concrete:

"According to reports, Aston Villa are interested in signing Adam Reach from Sheffield Wednesday.

The 25-year-old winger (who can also play as a full-back) has scored 6 spectacular goals for the Owls this season and has been their shining light in what has ultimately been an underwhelming campaign so far.

Therefore, in a strange twist of fate, Steve Bruce, who will become Wednesday’s manager at the start of next month, could find himself losing one of his best players to a club that sacked him just four months ago.

It is understood that Sheffield Wednesday want at least £10 million for their star man, but Villa might not be able to afford that figure as they are supposedly in a lot of trouble with Financial Fair Play. This means that they might be limited to loan deals during the transfer window.

However, if they were able to sign him, it would be a great signing as he would add some more attacking flair to Dean Smith’s side."

what about Danny Drinkwater on loan

he aint getting much action

Neither am I

[olaftab]

At £10M the Wednesday player will be out of reach for us.

[Chinchilla Bathhouse]

How good is Reach really? We know he can score the occasional screamer but has anyone spotted him doing anything else of use over the last few years? We've already got Hourihane in the 95% anonymous role. I wouldn't want us to blow anything like 10 million on another highlights player.  Shop smartly and we could get three players for that sort of money.

[UK Redsox]

what about Danny Drinkwater on loan

Blimey, there's a name that I haven't heard for a while.

Is he permanently injured or just way down the pecking order at Chelsea.
