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

[ChicagoLion]

Just a question, when we send a player out on loan - we seem to pay 50% + of their wages, why is it when we loan a player from another club (even a premier league club) we pay 100% of the wages and a loan fee?

Who ever has been in charge of us at CEO level, does not do a very good job at negotiating fees and wages -  our current CEO needs to remember we are an average championship club!

I don’t think we know what the arrangements are,some no mark on so some social media site says we are paying 75k a week and it becomes gospel.

Merson said that about one good season in five being enough at the Villa? He might be thinking of Agbonlahor and extrapolating but that's horse-shit.

I could be CEO of the Villa with regards to transfers - it is easy -  we just pay whatever the selling club want!

You have hit the nail on the head with regards to the wages we pay being the best in the division - that is why we can never get rid of anyone deemed "surplus to requirements" and they stay until the end of there contracts - as Paul Merson said "it is easy playing for Aston Villa as long as you have 1 good season in 5 the fans are happy, there is no expectation on continued success"

Yep, that sounds like the sort of baseless rubbish I'd expect Merson to come out with. He should come on here and see how happy we are to tolerate one good season in five. Funny, because most other pundits of his type are falling over themselves to tell the world how quick our fans are to start booing when things aren't going well. It's almost as if they're all completely thick.

I think we are a tolerant bunch to be honest
I know we get tarred with that fickle stuff but that normally as far as it goes

[Dazvillain]

If it's Mings and on of the midfielders, who would the third be?

Don’t know, but maybe a CB? Or Charlie Austin? Can’t see it myself however he was left out of the Southampton squad tonight so he’s off somewhere.

I think that Hause might have been in case we didn’t get anyone else plus it’s extra protection for a position that’s has shit cover and in light of Chester’s knee finally giving up or needing an op
I could see another CB coming in, though that would make the Hause signing a bit of a strange one. 

[andyh]

I think the worst of the ‘fickle’ label comes from ‘more patient’ supporters calling out ‘less patient’ fans.
Mersons comment seems to prove that the players are pretty oblivious to it.

[sickbeggar]

There's no doubt we pay too much in wages whether that's a hangover from the Lerner years and that the fact all the agents know we do pay over the odds so expect the same for their clients. I mean if the Hogan contract was to be believed its still going on and you do wonder would a player really scupper a move from Brentford for the sake of 5k a week when they're still going to be earning 10k more

Mings having a medical. Let's hope we've finally cured the left back spot.

If Hause comes in we'll have 2 players of significant height and pace in the back four.

[jwarry]

I didn’t realize Mings is 6ft 5. How on earth is he a LB and not a straight up CB at that height?

Blimey and with a bit of a reputation. Got to be better than powderpuff Taylor

He seems quick too so I hope he offers something going forwards.

I'm more confident that the last left back we loaned who clearly is a good player, who just succumbed to Lambert's idiocy.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Bournemouth journalist reckons we have no option to buy Mings.

That doesn't matter. Once he is at Villa and sees how big a club we are and the potential he won't want to go back to Bournemouth (hopefully).

If not then I really hope we're not paying the fuckers a million pounds for the privilege of rehabbing their player.

[mr underhill]

yes, if he does a Bolaise we have no on-going commitment

[sickbeggar]

well lets see if he's a)any good and b)able to play 2 games per week before buying him.
