The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

[sickbeggar]

Well...……….I think we should do him a favour and revive his career. Be a shame if he wasted his career in a backwater like Barca.

Could you play Coutinho and Buendia (and Bailey when he gets braver) in the same team ?

[kippaxvilla2]

Where’s he going to play? Moreover who will he replace?

[Ozzjim]

He'd play behind the striker with Buendia I would imagine.

[sickbeggar]

Targett init. Certainly be more attacking.

[eamonn]

Anyone else from Liverpool's class of '14 that Gerrard could tap-up for us? Dirk Kuyt would work tirelessly wherever we play him.

Wherever he likes!

Pick a player. Any player.

Aly Cissokho probably isn't up to much.

The Athletic's take on our likely January business:

Sensible Transfers – Aston Villa: Liverpool defenders, Hickey and Wijndal at full-back and defensive midfield improvements


By Gregg Evans and Mark Carey

What a load of absolute pointless fucking waffle. Were they paid per word? It’s amusing anyone is paying them at all for that shit.

There a bit of a lottery with the Athletic.  You get a good reporter for your team you get good coverage.  We got Gregg Evans.  The Tifo football team are also very good, albeit a little too pleased with themselves.

Same for the Birmingham Mail.  There's other reporters in the group who are very decent for their clubs (eg the Liverpool, Everton, Southampton reporters from those I've heard).  Unfortunately the Villa reporters are dreadful and can barely string two words together on the podcasts.

Was he ever?

[Matt C]

This Coutinho story is certainly gathering momentum…

[sickbeggar]

He's two footed. Left wing/back, centre, right wing/back,  centre half 'keeper. Provides cover all round the team. Will save us a fortune in wages.

[Drummond]

Has he actually done anything of late?

[Sexual Ealing]

Has he actually done anything of late?

He's earned a few quid.

I would love us to get this over the line and then go get that holding mid on Germany that everyone says is brilliant, and the young Scottish left back to compete with Targett. Maybe loan a centre half, give the second half of the season a right good go.
