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

[footyskillz]

Not many championship clubs can attract likes of Chalobah or Cahill I think villa would be only one of a few if any .

Fingers crossed he gets plenty of game time.

Hogan off to sheff united on loan. Having a medical

Really smart move that. Loaning a striker to a promotion rival.

However based on opinions from most posts on here he will considerably weaken  Sheff Utd.

Villa should have several attacking options but playing one central striker means only one position .
Smith will have Davis as reserve then after Kodjia of course.
But are 3 strikers enough ?
Andre Green will be stepping up to for a wide forward role.

Hogan will be used here and there by sheff utd but they have plenty options so he may be getting duped into thinking more game time. They do play 3-5-2. So will see .


Hopefully defence and central midfield will be key areas but now thinking maybe 3 signing?

I'll stick to 2 in before window .
Any one else think any more than 2 ??

I agree on Chalobah, I've liked him whenever I've seen him but he's 24 and hasn't really make the breakthrough with anyone yet so there's some concern, which is why I think he's a realistic target either permanently or as a loan to buy. Like Hause he's another who's looked good for England at age level football and will know Jack as they were all part of the very good England team that won the toulon tournament in 2016, many of which are now in the main England squad.

He had a nasty knee injury too.

Id be happy w chalobah or hayden from the little ive seen

We definitely need some combo of energy and passing ability in one player for that DM role

When I read that many of that squad 2016 I didn't think was accurate.
I checked out.
??! Sorry only Pickford, Loftus Cheek and recently Chilwell.
Chalobah has had full international recognition but like most of the squad haven't kicked on
He was on loan at Napoli at time.

Individuals from squad itself have overall performed at nothing higher than premier league level and not even top 4.
Apart from Loftus Cheek(barely at chelsea) who has played at highest level both club and country.

Some have had loaned spells or sold to championship level a few lower.
And struggle for top flight experience

Success?! What success
Goalkeepers:
 Angus Gunn
 Jordan Pickford

Defenders: Calum Chambers
 Ben Chilwell ,Brendan Galloway ,Kortney Hause ,Dominic Iorfa ,Jack Stephens ,Matt Targett

Midfielders: Lewis Baker Matt Grimes, Nathaniel Chalobah, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, John Swift, James Ward-Prowse

Forwards: Jack Grealish, Kasey Palmer, Nathan Redmond, Duncan Watmore, Cauley Woodrow

Oh dear. League 2. That suggests they think he’s nowhere near ready or worse still, not likely to make it.

Still a much higher level than u23/reserves football.  Time will tell if he's good enough.  At present, he isn't for the Championship.

Is that the league 2 that Grealish played for while at Notts County?..No he will never make it.

[PeterWithesShin]

No. Grealish was in division 3 with Notts County, not division 4. O'Hare should have been loaned out to div 3 or 4 a couple of years ago imo, the same kind of age Jack was at Notts County.
