Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

[ozzjim]

We have a decent ish team, but a bog awful front line. It's a large part of the reason Smith can't get 433 working. None of them are more than good championship level players, which means Jack get dragged up there to try and bridge the gap. The real frustration, Smith signed Benrahma and Maupay for about 5 million combined at Brentford. There has to be scoutable better alternatives.

How are you even allowing yourselves to get wound up over lazy links ffs? The majority of our deals under this regime have been done and dusted well before any of the 2 bob journalists have got wind of them.

[themossman]

Not been keeping up... so Batshuayi and Giroud have been crossed off and we’ve moved onto Glenn Murray??

[andyh]

Giroud now linked with Inter.

Pretty good going though, linked with Giroud, Batman and Benteke.
Probably end up with Glenn Murray.

I love the transfer window me.

[Risso]

The Glen Murray link is absolutely classic Villa, well the Villa i thought we'd finally moved on from. Stinks like Grant Holt all over again.

Not to mention we can't cross a ball so he's even less suited.

Is he a Real Man™ though?

[ASHTONVILLA]

Glen Murray would be a contender for worst ever signing, and most disappointing signing. Would chalk it off as bollocks but this is Villa so it is possible.

I thought our owners were loaded wiv dosh?

Apologies if this one has been thrashed out already.

As everybody is on different deals, I can’t see a problem with a short term financial turbocharge, if that’s what an individual player can give us on the pitch.

Not allowed to spend it though. It's locked up in a trust fund until we're 17(th).

Ah. Makes sense.

Actually it doesn’t but i’m being cool.

One of Murray and Benteke would be fine as a back up but we really need something to drag us out for the mess we are in. I reckon FFP must be hindering us.

So at the moment Kodja is the one and only centre forward we have available, I thought we were now being run by a professional outfit.

State of Noel Whelan on the Transfer Show on Sky. He looks like he dug up his dead dad to borrow the suit they buried him in.

Yep. They really fluffed their lines in the summer. Criminally negligent not to have any back up to Wesley, it looked stupid even before he had a season ending injury.

It’s clear Dean doesn’t rate kodjia at all, you can see why, and they would have known that when they decided to run with him and an injury prone, non scoring rookie as backup.

Well when you come straight from a funeral

I shouldn't have laughed at that should I?
