The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

[sickbeggar]

If its all about the money then we don't really want him. He's played in the uk before so if he has anything about him he won't end up at newcastle

[kippaxvilla2]

It isn't about money.  I saw something earlier on that he had no intention of joining a relegation battle at Newcastle. Might be nailed on for them then.

[GordonCowansisthegreatest]

Wouldn't think he'd go to Everton either then.

Sources from Barcelona & Aston Villa say that today there was great progress between the two parties, & that Philippe Coutinho is expected to become Aston Villa’s new player in the coming days.

[Brazilian Villain]

Odds on him joining have shortened to 4/9 from 2/3.

Also him and Dougie, as well as being Brazilians and Cariocas, are both Vascaínos which can't do any harm.

Aside from that I don't have any more straws to clutch.

[LeonW]

Would also suggest it depends on how much sway his agent has over him.

Shay Lugassi is apparently Chief Editor at Barcatimes.com.

Is Barca Times owned by Reach?

Who’s going to be brave enough to start a new Coutinho thread?

We normally leave that to Dave W.

When there is something a bit official is the way we go.

[Brazilian Villain]

Really think this will be a BIG mistake , not the player we need,

Can understand now why you're against it.

A short time after Percy enters the chat confirming things is my guess

He might be on nights this week so don't hold yer breath.

[Smirker]

So excited. Hurry up and announce it Villa.

[Drummond]

Reported we're trying to lower the Perm fee in exchange for taking on more wages.

Having thought about this some more, he's precisely the sort of player that we could build around. Other players would definitely come to play with him.

And, on form he's better than anyone we've had in a long time.
