Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

We've been linked today with bring in Brewster from Liverpool on loan. He looks a prospect but I don't think he's top of the list for what we need right now. Zlatan Ibrahimović is available. I've heard he's not bad.

Apparently we asked Liverpool how much Brewster would cost and the answer was "Brewster's Millions".

It's 'none of the above' for me.

Bowen for me, no idea why he hasn’t been snapped up by someone yet. Absolutely a quality player IMO.

Someone said his old man is a Villa fan too.

Yup:

"I have seen a few things recently, let's sign Jarod Bowen, he's a Villa fan," Bowen told Soccer Saturday. "I am like, I want to reply, but I'm not a Villa fan. It's my Dad who is a Villa fan. Let's just get this straight.

We really need some pace in the attacking areas, how quick is Bowen?  Jack is no slouch but pace isn't his key asset.  Wesley isn't quick at all, and Trezeguet and El Ghazi aren't especially fast when they have the ball.

It's strange as trez is suppose to one of the fastest players in the league but that's also my observation.

I think mitrovoc and Bowen woukd both be quality signings.

I would like us to go for Bowen and Benrahma if that is possible they would fantastic signings.

I would be shocked if Bowen isnt a Villa player by end of Jan (no itk just gut feel)

Clearly a talented player but don't we already have the likes of McGinn, Grealish, Hourihane and Jota competing for the position Bowen plays in?

We urgently need to add options up top. I think we create plenty of chances so even a loan move for a penalty box striker like Giroud or Benteke wouldn't be the worst shout ever. Watkins is going well at Brentford again so will likely be linked with him again. Che Adams is having a nightmare at Southampton so far but showed his quality last season in a dire team.

[Steve67]

Defensively, I think we are fine.  I would like us to bring in three quality players.  A forward, winger and another central midfielder. Playing Jack out on the left covers a problem position for us therefore, I'd like an upgrade on Lansbury.  I'm not sure we will get those types of players in the January window though.

I like the Newcastle player with the silly hair. Number ten. How much would he cost us?

[Toronto Villa]

The Newcastle player with the silly hair is the definition of all fart no shit. A modern day N’Zogbia.

[cdbearsfan]

Nah, he's good. As was N'Zogbia, for a while. His attitude was far more of an issue than his ability.

[SoccerHQ]

Newcastle signed him for 25m.

[PeterWithesShin]

Saint-Maximin, cost them about £16m plus potential add-ons reportedly. He's an exciting player but lacks end product at the moment, similar to how Adama was. I always believe you can teach a player the end product part, harder to teach them to be exciting.

Newcastle signed him for 25m.

Ah, bugger. My £2 million plus Hogan scheme might not entice them, then.
