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

[Clampy]

It's very possible he could go to a play off rival and while he may not score a hat full, he might score some important goals along the way. I'm not sure it's a wise thing to do either.

[JJ-AV]

We really need to get a left back and an aggresive centre half (I don't know if Hause is that man?). Taylor was better than usual but it's what he doesn't do that costs us. No aggression and always on the back foot.

If we can get a 7/10 LB who can add to the attacking play and get Jack and Jedinak back in the side we'll be OK for play offs I think.

I would sell him to any one of our play off rivals
Virtually guaranteeing their  downfall

it’s not a risk it’s a cunning plan

[VinnieChase84]

Even if we have to pay some of his wages to offload him then it’s better than him staying around. I honestly would get shot at the first sign of interest. He will never make the grade with us and needs a fresh start for himself

If selling Hogan frees up space for a player who actually contributes something to Villa then let's get on with it. I couldn't really care less what he does at another club, we can't be stockpiling useless players on that basis. If he goes on to fire Sheffield United to the title it'll be annoying, but all the evidence suggests it's as likely as Steve Bruce becoming the new face of Armani.

Wouldn't be able to play against us though.

He hasn't made the 18 last two games so that gives an idea of DS thinking on him now.

Can we please avoid the phrase "let's get on with it".

[LukeJames]

I'm pretty gutted about this one as I backed him to the hilt under Bruce when we were playing football that was not fit to get the intended purpose out of him. I'd of expected him to be galvanised with Smith coming in but it does look more and more likely that we've signed a bit of a dud on the back of 6 months form.
A lazy signing with no thinking behind it other than 'well he's scoring goals', We're better off selling him to anybody willing to offer us a fee really and cutting our losses. Whoever he goes to in this division, he's not going to improve them.

If we did loan him out and he did do well, I suppose we could get some money back on him, a little like Bournemouth did with Grabban. It would just be our luck if we did loan him to a team fighting for play off spot and he clicked for them.

Perfectly good phrase, I stole it off the side of a bus.

Can't see him getting a game at Sheffield United, they have Leon Clarke, McGoldrick, Billy Sharp, Washington and Gary Madine as out and out striker options for them.

Bristol City probably better move for him if he wants regular game.

Apparently if we loan Hogan out we'll have £350k a week extra to comit to wages.
