The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

I'd take Hoijberg

[Villan82]

Will be disappointed if we don't get a defensive midfielder in. it is the missing part of the jigsaw.

[Steve67]

I'd take Hoijberg

Or Ndombele.  Both good players. Just not worked for Ndombele at Spurs for some reason but I think he's a powerful player.  Would take Hoijberg as an alternative too.

I'm a bit disappointed we didn't hijack the Bruno G deal at Newcastle. He's the type they can build a team around if they stay up and really kick on.

Maybe Gerrard didn't want him. That's what counts at the end of the day.

Agree.

Would be hilarious if we signed Ndombele on lower salary and he turned out to be brilliant.

Not very Villa though.

Dave Woodhall summed us up very well with the comment on Luiz. Next De Bruyner if he goes, meh if he stays, or words to that effect. Most Villa quote ever.

Based on nothing but a guess, I reckon Bissouma has been all along and still is the target.

Not sure it'll happen, but I'm beginning to think you're right especially with the noises today that Brighton are now willing to sell at 50m.

[ozzjim]

The Bentancur thing looks mightily like the agent flushing Spurs interest out by using Villa, when you look at the fees we've apparently had rejected are more than Spurs are reportedly paying, it just doesn't add up.

[Chris_Jephcott]

I think it’ll be a case of Spurs offer £35 million for Dougie, we reject. He goes for £40 million… and re-spunk that money to meet Brighton at around £45 million for Bissouma.

In my head at least. Not sure where it’s come from, or going.

Rumours starting to come out that clubs are preparing bids for Phillips from Leeds, with West Ham reportedly being one of them.

Can someone post a link to the piece by that bloke that reckoned we'd only got £5m to spend this year?

Italian media saying we have withdrawn from the bidding and McNulty from BBC saying we have never been seriously in for him.

We do need a holding mid though.

Indeed. Will be a failed January transfer window imo if one doesn't arrive.

Coutinho and Digne. Not a complete failure, surely?

Failed? Really SB?

We get him, we're top six.
