Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

Were you at the Dubai Racing Festival Walsall Villain?  I bet John was.

Jarrod Bowen. Goals, assists but apparently £20 million. I don’t know the ins and outs of where this would leave us with the financial constraints of FFP etc but he’s got 16 goals so far this season.

Gutted if we are not at least in for Bowen. One of those that seems to have a natural instinct for scoring.

[cdbearsfan]

I think his contract is going to run out. I reckon they'll try to sell him but will front it out until as close to the deadline as possible in the hope of maximising his price.

[Brassneck]

The price will decrease as the deadline draws nearer.

The big thing for me is that a player with less than 6 months left on his contract will be in a much better negotiating position in the summer.  It is possible that Bowen would want to sit it out until then so that any potential transfer fee in January will turn into wages/signing on fee in the summer.

Agreed. We desperately need a winger, the fact that he also scores goals should be a no brainer.

The Leeds link appears to be Nixon bullshit.

I think he’s got six months to go but with a 12 month option in Hull’s favor if I read correctly on The Athletic, so Hull could wait it out until the summer.

Nope, en route from visiting son and family in Malaysia. I wondered what our John was doing in Dubai, good shout.

So from reading the last few pages - the new guy will be the new Andy Gray (76-77) version, even though I should imagine that not many have actually seen him play a game for his current club?

We also need to spend another £20 million on a Championship forward who has scored 1 goal in his last 6 games in the Championship?

And we still need another winger - even though we have 2 already? and another midfielder (even though we have plenty of them)

It is a good job that some on here are not running the club, because we would not have to worry about FFP, we would be bankrupt within a month!

Villa are going to be busy this morning, getting a striker signed in time to play tomorrow (a game we have to get something out of ahead of Watford and Bournemouth).

[Ads]

Unless he doesn't have work permit issues, as he has a Belgian passport for example, then he's not going to play Saturday.

Somebody should call a restaurant at Dusseldorf International airport and see what passport he has.

[brian green]

I pulled a stolen safe out of one of my ditches.  When we got it flame gunned (I can't spell acetylene) open it was full of passports.  Over 200.  He can have one of those.  And get a new pun proof name.

Brian, can I have five please?

[brian green]

Of course anything for you.  Would you like five from the same family?  I can offer you the Wongs but you must understand two of them don't  make a White.

Now that did make me LOL.  Well done Brian (clappy emoticon)
