January 2023 Transfer Rumours, Discussions and Done Deals Thread

[Exeter 77]

I see Maguire being linked to Villa in the same way as I did when we were supposed to be signing David Speedie 30+ years ago.

Footy:

1) The betting markets move when people bet lots of money. This has happened because people have seen the photo of Maguire in a Birmingham restaurant and put two and two together, got five, and splashed out at the bookies, thus lowering the odds. It doesn't mean it's any more likely because of the odds.
2) The owners put money in periodically as working capital to keep the business afloat. It's not usually tied to football transfers directly, which are paid for over a longer period.
3) Football Insider are the biggest liars in the world, and never get anything right.

Point  3. From above ties into your point 3 as Football insider have reported quite a few things successfully and they have said about a left back coming in and have said this
Aston Villa close in on two new signings as one deal all but done


"Aston Villa are close to a breakthrough in talks to sign Alex Moreno and are also confident of completing a forward signing soon"
Sources have told Football Insider.

Even if you don't want to admit it, they are a source and have suggested we are nearly signed 2 players.
And  according to a football insider, Aston Villa goalkeeper Filip Marschall is in talks to join Gateshead.
They're not exactly reporting that for clicks, are they?
What I think you're missing, Rissie, is that football insider is a hit when they use transfer sources rather than times they having the opinion of pundits or ill informed journalists regarding transfers, which that part is only used for speculation and discussion tittle tattle.

Those who believe Marschall is out are likely to see another goalkeeper enter the picture this window?

On your points
Point 1. No 2+2 doesn't make 5. In this instance what are you claiming doesn't add up?
Point2. Money is clearly for transfers

1) Just because Maguire was seen in Birmingham doesn't mean he's signing for Villa.
2) No, it isn't. How far do you think £13m is going to stretch? They put money in all the time as working capital.

Enlighten?

The thing with a move for Maguire Villa would do it quietly and not make a public pursuit of it we can't deny the noise on it.

The Moreno think is on just about every news source, so, hardly news.  As for the source in relation to the other player, that was Emery himself.  We all heard the press conference where he said he wanted a winger as that player would have different characteristics to what we currently have.  It is clickbait nonsense.

Clubs rarely pay the full amount due under a contract; that money is part of the installation for that portion. It's quite possible that it will be there for a loan agreement or the first year of a 40 or 50 million signing. But that might be intended for a forward.
Very interesting financial developments, regardless of how they are interpreted. On one way or another, some transfer moves are supported by this.
Because it might be used as money to release players.
Regarding transfers at Aston Villa, I don't know anything.

Speedie was a striker who was less than impressive and wasn't well liked by fans of most clubs and virtually nobody wanted him to sign for Villa even though we were in an unexpected relegation battle in 1991 under Josef Venglos. In the end he didn't join us.

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day. Football Insider are a piss poor source. They spout so much shit that it rivals the London sewerage system.

Is this Maguire's way of announcing his international retirement?

Southgates head would explode if McGuire joined Villa. Its almost worth signing him just to see what Southgate would do.

[SoccerHQ]

I blame Bob.

Next week it will be Jordan Pickford having a curry at the Bartons.

[eamonn]

Since Bob returned, things have got more colourful on here. Like him or not , he's a strong character in the H&V soap opera.

Okay, that's an interesting one! Yes, I've heard of Dr. Josef Venglos. Read about the time at Villa. That was back when foreign managers were viewed with suspicion in the UK
Speedie I've never heard that as an English surname before only as a nickname.
In portugal and brazil nick names are given. Speedie here in the english leagues has been used to describe a player with pace. So for example you could call Bailey speedy or Agbonlahor as an actually name.

[eamonn]

Yeah, he was a bit before my time too so not sure if Speedie had much pace at all.
