Need to pay the big bucks like when signed Bent.
Agreed, a proven goalscorer costs money. If we don't get one we are down

Alleged to have made a big bucks offer for Piatek which suits Milan, but he’s waiting on a move from Tottenham. This is the main issue with these big moves and the reason they won’t happen until late in the window.

That with Llorente as a second option makes far more sense than Llorente alone. Here's hoping.

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.
Best I can do

The annoying thing is we're playing two of the most important games since the play off final in the period between the window shuts!

Does the window close the evening before the Bournemouth game given that's on 1st Feb? So could be pre match disruption going into that game aswell.

Good example of things changing all the time , Piatek wouldn't have been for sale/loan a month or so ago but Milan bring in Zlatan and he is available..unfortunately for us Kane get injured at Spurs and they need a striker putting them in competition with us.

I can't help but think we've missed our last chance to see Zlatan wearing our colours. He'd have sorted this shit out.

He is an asshole, treats his teammates like shit and i would not want to see him in a villa shirt.

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

I have been a big fan of Llorente since his time at Bilbao. Even at his age he might score a few for us between now and the end of the season. Callejon is a wide player/winger and not so sharp now at the age of 32.

Callejon is 32 that's old for a winger who relies on speed and would need time to adapt to the speed of the premiership, I would leave that one alone, I see James Milners contract finishes this year, just saying.

Didn't he sign an extension at Liverpool a week or so ago?
