Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

[Rigadon]

It's probably be because I watch very little other football other than the Villa these days, but I haven't heard of any of these potential signings other than Giroud.  I have heard of Andy Goram but I think he might be past his best. 

[nodge]

I’ve heard of both Andy Gorams

Do people really believe everything that's written in the press?

There's a hint in the title of the thread for those who do.

With the lack of options in this country I wouldn't be surprised if they pull a couple of rabbits out of the hat, just like they did in the summer. Trouble is we do need a forward to hit the ground running, which will be harder if they have no experience here.

Let’s hope the press talk is bollocks.

Tino Kadewere, 17 goals in 19 games in Ligue 2. Zimbabwe International. Get Marv on the phone.

It's worth bearing in mind that we are the 9th highest scorers but defensively we are the third worst in the division.With Wesley's injury another striker is needed but a change to 3 central defenders  suits our present squad as it should make us less open .
Even with choosing 2 strikers from Kodj,AEG and Trez ,I think we have enough goals in the team.It's grinding out the 1-0s or low scoring draws that has been the problem.

[PaulWinch again]

I definitely don’t think Kodjia, AEG and Trez are enough.

Kodjia struggled in the championship last season. Going into the second half of the season with just  him and a rarely fit Davis would be utter lunacy. Glenn Murray certainly isn't the answer either. I wouldn't mind trying AEG actually for a couple of games, even at his worst he gets chances.

Manchester United signed a geriatric Andy Goram because they were fucked with injuries. They won the league that year.

Our geriatric signing would probably have to play more than two games.

What’s Omar Cummings doing these days?

Probably. But if they could fill in for a couple of games until we sign someone better then I don't really see why there's any need for people to be so morose.

The idea of Glenn Murray starting up front for us in a relegation battle does crush the spirit a bit.  Let's hope it doesn't come to pass.  I'm sure it won't.

Hamdallah doing the rounds on Twitter with a fee agreed of 7m.  Goal a game in Saudi league which I assume is pants...29 though..

His scoring record over the last few years has been great! I would take him as a punt

I would take Josef Martinez from Atlanta Utd. The level in the MLS has gone up and he's got pace and scored a load of goals and is a current international.
People get a bit sniffy about the MLS, but it's better than the Saudi league.
