Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

[cdbearsfan]

The problem with bats and giroud if they dont want to sign f**k them! Even if they do go to a rival and score shed loads the point is moot if they dont want to play for us. Also worth noting we only need to be better than 3 teams this season and even with injuries I think we can do that! Win the next 3 6 pointers and we can forget relegation all together I think.

we said that ahead of the last set of 6 pointers .

We did win the last one, in fairness.

Only because Drinkwater was in the opposition squad, though 😉

Drinkwater - long ball to Benteke, chests it down and passes to the onrushing Grealish - GOAL! <wakes> oh my head </wakes>

[Mossie Hennebry]

The more I think about the more Benteke feels like this decade's Bent. The move would be a good fit for both CB and the club.  Make it so!

With the Drinkwater signing least we now know we won't be going back to Chelsea for a forward.

[Drummond]

I've recollections of Benteke just nudging Smalling off like he was nothing and generally bullying everyione he played. Then i remember he's done fuck all since.

We're taking a gamble on Drinkwater, do we really want another?

[KevinGage]

Bent was a goalscorer at the top of his game when we signed him.

A signing of that nature would go along way to allay fears about the drop.

Benteke ver 2020 is a long way from the top of his game.

A signing of that nature now would cost us in the region of £60m+ wouldn't it?

[KevinGage]

Probably at least £40 million.

I don't think we'll be spending anywhere near that figure, but I'd hope the scouts might have found something closer to the Benteke of 2012 rather than the current incarnation.

I think you have been imbibing too much of that ether.

That was the time when we had the first whispers of relegation and Bent did indeed come in to keep us up. He certainly played a big part, something like 8 goals in 15 games. The way he was treated here was a real shit show and still sits badly with me, he could have been a star for us under different circumstances.

Benteke would be ok on loan till the end of the season with view to permanent, as long as we're still bringing in the attacking players that we should have had lined up already before the Wesley injury.

Not disputing how god awful we were over christmas! But Watford at villa park is not Watford away! Villa are notoriously shit in London and we all know this. I expect to win this game at home.
Brighton will be a tough game but if dean sticks to 541 /353 we can beat them.
Bournemouth are in real trouble with injuries and are looking in free fall at the moment. I would be very surprised if we cant at least get a point out of this.

I hope this ages well so remind me at the end of the month lol

Watford isn't in London.

Benteke C.
Signed a new contract extension last October until end of 2021 season.

In his last 61 Premier league games for Palace he has scored 4 goals !!

Yep that is just the sort of player we need in a crisis.....not!

Even if he was fit to play which is extremely doubtful given his track record.

What do we know about him?? Anybody? Anything?? Or have I missed the point of this article and he actually means there is no way that he wants to come to Aston Villa?

Google translation...

The top scorer of 2019, all world championships combined, with a total of 57 goals, is neither Lewandowski nor Messi. He is indeed the goleador of the Saudi club Al Nassr FC, the Moroccan Abderrazak Hamdallah.

The former Moroccan international, many of whom regret his absence from the Atlas Lions, is about to land in the Premier League. He will wear the colors of Aston Villa Football Club, the English team based in Birmingham, from the next winter transfer window.

Indeed, on his official Twitter account, the players' agent for Aston Villa FC has confirmed that Hamdallah has received final agreement for his transfer from Saudi Al Nassr to the English club. John Harriot also clarified that the Moroccan player will receive a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds sterling;

Abderrazak Hamdallah is set to leave Saudi Arabia next week for England. Good luck, Hamdallah!

In his first season at Palace he did score 15 but the point remains. He had a bad knee injury in 2018 which he played through but wasn't fit which resulted in an operation keeping him out for about 4 months. He's got a muscle injury at the moment which he got at Newcastle - I think he's probably had his best days if I'm honest which is a real shame.
