José Callejon and Fernando Llorente are targets for Aston Villa. Jesus Garcìa Pitarch is in contact with the players agents.

This simpley cant be true!

2 players with a combined ages of 67! What is the world coming too

32 is not old.

[Caribbeanvillan]

Yep, 32 y.o Napoli Midfielder, and 34 y.o striker.

I have ko issue with Llorente as a signing as long as there is a second, much faster option. He will do a big part of what we need, be a target, hold the ball, win some headers etc. A pacey wide forward to play off him is a must though.

For a winger who's known for pace it is to be fair!

It looks like it isn't about who we want to sign, but who we can sign. No decent players available so will need to sign someone who is past it but available.

The January market is generally impossible to work through and especially for a club like ours who is desperate for players who can actually come in quickly and make a difference. It’s not like we are missing that one piece. So it looks like at least right now we will add short term warm bodies and fillers. Hopefully by the end of the window we have added a proper player or two.

Can someone with IT skills add a countdown clock to the title on this thread so I can get more and more depressed as we fail to make signings.

Llorente is as mobile as a block of flats but it’s better than our other options.
The Callejon link is interesting as Napoli are in turmoil and basically looking to overhaul their squad and by the same token Sporting Lisbon are in financial strife.

That's better. Llorente good at Swansea, less so at Spurs but still make an impact off the bench in a few games for me. Not a week in week out starter for me but would score goals off the bench if we got the crosses in.

Callejon is I think wide player in a front 3, 61 goals in 200 odd games for Napoli since 2013 and they've been very good in that period.

There are some decent players at Napoli but it's very much a Spurs type situation in that it's one season too far for the squad and it needs to be broken up now. Their Full backs are worth looking at now, Hysaj is a decent player aswell but out of favour.

Bolasie is on loan at Sporting!

Which wont be good enough as 3 of our easiest fixtures will be over with by then and we will have gifted the teams around us 3 points. Pathetic January so far. A plodder has been and another Keeper, an old man.

You reckon Watford is easy?

Other than Liverpool away we are capable of getting something from all our games if we can strengthen during the window

I can just imagine it...a returning hero !!

I think we need to have a little patience and faith in the board that they are working on deals. The likes of Nakmaba, Konza and Wesley (and even Mcginn, I think) came in totally under the radar. There's no reason to think that won't happen again although it is harder in January.
