Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

Villa have denied being in talks with Milan, according to Sky Sports (UK).

Piatek? That one came out of the blue. An absolute finisher, loves a header, has a shit celebration and an even worse penalty style. Get it done!

Yep, but I suppose if he's celebrating a goal that's a good thing. I'll put up with the nafness of it.

My old housemate in Shanghai was a big Genoa fan, and he loved him.
Was gutted when he left and I don't reckon he was at the club for very long.

That's enough for me. Sign him up.

Just looked online, and that celebration is truly rubbish. Hope we see it in action very soon, and frequently.

Peter Withe's windmill celebration wasn't great but I didn't mind seeing it twenty times the season we won the league.

More I read, more I think the agent is using Villa for interest. Flush out a top half side.

That’s my view, looking at the stories.

Most players who sign for our club (apart from Drinklots) seem to be the answer to all our problems according to most on here.

The problems start when we see them on the pitch in the first team, and then how quick we are to say "they are shit, why did we ever sign him"

The Italian forward, I have never heard of him or seen him play, so I will bow to the knowledge of all of the posters on here who have watched him on a regular basis.

I'd never heard of the bloke until yesterday so kudos to those that had. Is he any good?

According to my son, most judge players by what they are like on FIFA or PES.  🤦‍♂️

[GarTomas]

Will we have another why didn’t Barry take the penalty scenario?

I've had Piatek in my Pro Evo 'My Club' team since October.  I've got him up to a 94 rating, only one behind Suarez, and he does a job!

I used to listen to the Golazzo/Football Weekly podcast and they really talked him up in that first half-season at Genoa. His purple patch was nearly as prolific as the guy who has just joined Dortmund (Haalaand?) however the goals seem to have dried up somewhat whilst at Milan.

My guess is that his purple patch was not long enough to tempt the big clubs and Milan are not currently a force, so Villa might be a good match for him.

Piątek is very highly rated here (second of course to Lewandowski), he'd be quite the coup and may at last mean that people won't start blankly or snigger when I  mention Villa.

[Drummond]

Piatek
Reina
Barry (L) I got a fright when I saw the surname...
Assombalonga
Benteke
Giroud
Drinkwater

That's not a bad collection.

He had that big season at Genoa when it just looked as though everything he touched ended up in the back of the net. Not quite as effective at Milan, but still, he clearly knows where the goal is. I'd be really happy if we signed him. Think he would score a lot in the Premier League.

When I mentioned the link to my lad - who follows Serie A more closely than me - last night, his eyes lit up.
