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

[Clampy]

I wonder how true this Fuchs talk is bearing in mind what Smith has said about future transfers. If he's having trouble bringing in the left back he wants, I'd stick with Taylor until the end of the season and maybe recall the reserve left back who's gone out on loan who's name escapes me at the moment.

Just out of interest, in the opinion of those who were at VP against Ipswich, how did James Collins play?

We dodged a bullet

With you on that Clampo !
And I have no idea on reserve left back ?! But would like to think there are other options out there at left back than fuchy

We’re a top division side

Oh no we're not.

Top division club in status but I question the team.

[footyskillz]

Joe Bennett is better than Neil Taylor.

As is Enda Stevens.

But better than a 38 year old ashely cole?

[Toronto Villa]

We’re a top division side

Oh no we're not.

Off course we bloody are. Aston Villa is a Premier League club.

No it is a Championship club. It should be a prem club, but we are not.

This left back thing - I would sooner recall Clarke and play him there than have Fuchs, but I would take a punt on Mings if we could get him fairly cheaply. Bags of potential when he was younger.

[VILLA MOLE]

Premiership club with a championship team at the moment

Premiership club with a championship team at the moment

Agreed. Pretty much everything about the club is PL standard except the product on the pitch. Obviously that’s the critical element that needs to be fixed.

I hope we don't loan Hogan to Sheffield United or Bristol City - both play-off rivals. But, I suspect we might.

[mr underhill]

has Hogan done anything in two years to suggest he would come back to haunt us?

[eamonn]

Pretty sure Mitch, our would-be left back saviour, is injured.

[chrisw1]

If there's no one else and the wages are sensible I'd much rather go to the end of the season with Fuchs and Taylor rather than just Taylor.  If we buy someone we'd be paying wages for that period, so it's hardly like we'd be significantly worse off if we agree a (sensible) loan.

We are, in no shape or form a 'top division side'.

It's this kind of nonsense that drives me and no doubt countless others mad.

We are, an average Championship side. That's all that matters right now.

Whether we ever get back to being a Premier League level club isn't in our hands.

[Clampy]

We're definatley a top division club, just not at the moment obviously.
