The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

[ASHTONVILLA]

Every French player we signed before being relegated.
Are there any examples of a player being shit for 3 years and then re-discovering there form again?

40m for Alli is mental.

If nothing else it will make Alex Iwobi feel better about himself

[Drummond]

#avfc have finished their incoming business in this window.

Gerrard targeted a no10 (Coutinho), LB (Digne), GK (Olson) and versatile def (Chambers).

Will renew search for a def mid in summer. Yves Bissouma still an option, if #bhafc asking price falls with 1yr left on deal.

From Rob Dorsett at SKy on Twitter.


Looks like we're done then, that's from a couple of sources now.

Paul Merson has given our transfer window a hit, that's very reassuring for all of us.

I put SSN on earlier just in time to hear Merson say Dele Alli to Everton could be the greatest transfer ever made in January. I turned it straight off.

i am struggling to think of any ex villa player who has made a good pundit

I see still got another week to get rid of trez

I think Lee Hendrie is better than I thought he'd be.

It gets funnier. 2 and a half years with the first 10m paid after 20 games. So its basically a free transfer.

Effectively, he will play for them for the rest of this season, then not play again for the rest of his contract whilst trousering an eye-watering wage as they won't want to pay the fee.  If Everton don't go down this season then I am putting a wedge on them going next year.

See that striker Newcastle were after has had 2nd thoughts* about joining them.




*googled Newcastle.

[PaulTheVillan]

Nobody else coming in then. Unless the club are playing us all?

yeah its a strange deal if true.. If he's a success then you only have him for 2 and a half years while paying 40m? Everton obviously have major doubts.

Wasn’t it Ali who spoke to Mourinho on the Amazon Prime thing? He didn’t get the answer he wanted , so had a hissy fit and said he’d go and speak to Daniel Levey about it. ( I guess it was nit being picked )

I thought then he was a complete knob.

Still no DM.  What do we know!!
