Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

[Fred Crump]

A very talented player.

Who does he (not) play for these days?I thought he was very good at 'The Mighty Reds YNWA'.
Surely worth looking at ?

[Steve67]

I think I read it was Juventus Fred.  Was on the BBC gossip column this morning.  I have always thought he was a talented player and someone at the right sort of age who might do well for us.

Two loans with a view to buy if we stay up. Striker and the Brentford lad. Grealish moves inside with a more offensive McGinn.  Bit of shit about Luiz, however...i think a commanding central midfielder may also be on the cards.

Three clever deals in, plus a couple of outgoings.

FFP is then remedied, we sign the loans because we have survived, and then we go for the 1 or 2 in the summer that will transform us.

Anyhow, it seems the house is on fire..but hey!

Seconded

Titimus lol.
I rather miss dear old ALF and his RANDOM rants using  emojis and CAPITALS. He and Footyskillz were the masters of Buttery Ollocks and when they were in full flow it was like being in some weird hall of mirrors. Crazy but fun.

If Snodgrass was available, I'd be bringing him back. Albrighton too. We need some solid pros in the squad who still have life left in their legs to lead the team in a relegation battle.. It's something we lost over the summer.

I severely doubt the likes of Whelan would have tolerated Grealish's lack of professionalism yesterday or AEG being constantly at fault for opposition goals by not doing his job.

The guys who werent good enough for us last season, Taylor, Lansbury and Kodjia to be let go.

[hilts_coolerking]

What's with the clamour to sign players who used to play for us?  There's an entire world's worth of players out there.

[Steve67]

Good post Bronte.  We could do with a couple of good, solid pro's in the dressing room who have been doing it in the top league for a while.  We simply don't have anyone.  Mings and Grealish are great players but they lack experience at that level.  Heaton is the only other player I can think of who has any real Prem experience, even Chester lacks it.  We need people to be held to account on the pitch for their petulance, lack of tracking back, for ball watching etc.  Snodgrass and Albrighton would be a good start, regardless that they have played for us before, they are trustworthy and give their all.  I'd like Eric Dier, Emre Can too, for different reasons.

Taylor, Kodjia, Chester, Lansbury all made available.

There’s more chance of me making my debut for Villa than West Ham loaning Snoddy to us.

Out of  interest, what lack of professionalism do you mean regarding Jack?

Are you any quicker than Targett?  Can you slot in at left back?

Yeah.  I am keen to understand that as well.

What I saw was a lad giving 100% to try and drag his team forward.  Yes, he was getting frustrated with the ref at times, but so was I... and 42k in Villa Park and everyone watching on TV!

He has only 18 months left on his contract so should be gettable.

[JJ-AV]

We need an experienced holding player. Someone who can shore things up a bit and lead. A Premier League Whelan.

No names jump out to me tbh
