Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

[VILLA MOLE]

Piatek still on apparently. Well it's twatter but it's from the Milan side.

As for Louie Barry, Barca need to pay Albion what they fucking owe and stop taking the piss. Twats.

A journalist said that (fuck) the Albion can only take legal action against Barcelona, the player is registered now. So no way they can block it.

Cheers.
That's a relief as I was worried it could stop his move to Villa.

can we trade mark 'fuck the albion '

[Des Little]

Or at least auto correct it?

Day 9, and still no new striker in. Plenty of interest in Kodjia and Hogan moving on. This is proving difficult which stems back to last August when the decision was taken not to sign another striker.....

You're not going to panic all month like you did in the summer when we went two whole days without signing anyone and we ended up with 12 players? Relax.

My Burnley supporting mate tells me “Jay Rod” has been left out this weekend with an unexplained illness. Told him that sounded familiar...

I just think that Nyland looks so focussed and determined that risking upsetting that by bringing in Reina is not worth it.  I appreciate with Steer not back yet there's simited cover, but in hopefully unlikley event Nyland gets injured we do have Sarkic to fall back on.  At some point you have to draw a line.  For me we have enough keeprs and Nyland has earned his chance.  Lets spend the wages elsewhere.

That's where I am on this.

The deicison may not have been taken in August: they may just not have been able to get the players they wanted.

I've just had a quick look on a Everton messsgeboard, as we've been linked with Tosun.

I get the impression he's not very good!

[ozzjim]

He reminds me of Wesley. Big, strong, not very quick, doesn't score much.

In fairness we're playing games without any strikers.  We can't really afford to relax and wait until the end of Jan, it may be too late then.

Sunday's going to be very tough.

Sunday is going to be very tough regardless

According to them - incredibly slow. Think we should avoid that bullet. Having said that - him or Glenn Murray? Oh well..

in the Leicester match there was an incident I recall in our box that resulted in a one on one with the keeper, not sure which Leicester player it was, but it was at Nyland’s left post , the Leicester player shaped to shoot and Nyland for a second, looked like he was going to go down, but then just stood tall and the eventual shot was blocked off his shoulder it looked like. I thought it was a certain goal, Leicester players and fans probably thought the same. It was at that point in the match I thought: this lad is good. Obviously it was gutting Heaton getting badly injured, but Nyland showed great technique and probably more importantly, good character against Leicester. Not much he could have done for the goal- that was a shocker of a free kick and Leicester reacted so quick it was unreal. Brilliant finish too. Not many keepers would be stopping a rocket like that from just inside the area.

I think Tosun was Big Sam's biggest Everton signing. Big Sam did a good job getting Everton out of the shit and into the top half of the table that season, but Tosun was a bit of a flop from my recollection.
