January 2023 Transfer Rumours, Discussions and Done Deals Thread

I'm sure he will be backed this window if the players he wants are available. There's no reason to think he won't be.

According to Dan Bardell on the Villa View podcast, he reckons that we are trying to sign Arnaut Danjuma from Villareal although Everton are also interested in him.

Did Dan happen to mention he's been on Sky Sports.?

Only once or ten times! Still he appears to be doing quite well for himself.

You think he's being paid for it?

Might be wrong, but I just can't see anything in the links with Maguire.  We've already got four senior centre halves (albeit one on loan) with another hopefully returning from injury soon. 

There could be questions around the quality of those options, but I don't think an addition there is a priority at the moment and certainly not at the kind of price Maguire would be.

Oh I think we should be getting one, there definitely are questions around the quality of what we have. But just not him.

Can it be Pau Torres please?
PLEASE!

If we bring in a centre back then he would replace Jan Bednarek within the squad.

For a right back.
Héctor Bellerín at Barca who is out of contract in the summer. 27 good age.
Bellerin has a lot of respect for Emery

Probably helps him get paid work somewhere....actually, how does he earn his corn?

Alan Hutton has suggested Harry Maguire could join Aston Villa in the summer.

I thought we were signing him now? You know, like that really reliable Football Insider said?

Well the latest from FI is what Hutton has said and that article states:
"On 9 January, Football Insider revealed that the 29-year-old is staying at Old Trafford this month after they rejected interest from the Birmingham club.

Unai Emery’s side did enquire about Maguire‘s availability but United insisted he would be staying in Manchester this month.

Hutton suggested the door remains open for a potential deal in the summer."

I imagine Hutton is a realistic source with ITK having been at Villa so long. He's villa connected and suggests it's the summer that we move for him rather than this window so that maybe gets the 2+2=4 and explains why he was present near to Villas ground.

So no not this window

I don’t think footy has worked out the principles of made up clickbait shite yet.

What a load of absolute bollocks.

Honestly, why do you present the most pointless clickbait and act like it's written in stone? Use your critical faculties.

Indeed he hasn't. All Alan Hutton actually said was "“He is still a great player he just needs to get back to doing what he does best and playing regularly. I think if that was to come up in the summer I do not see why it would not be a good fit." Which is no different at all to anybody on here suggesting a random player might be a good idea. Literally all that happened with Maguire was that he was seen in the area. Lots of idiots then bet (and lost) money on him signing.

If I bet on a player making a move - how long would that last?  Is it tied to the transfer window the bet is made in?

The whole betting odds thing was very strange.

Isnt the point that it is not strange. Its just that there are so few bets on it that it only takes a few to dramatically shift the odds one way or the other.

Felix is playing for Chelsea tonight, an absolute class player. Villa were interested, but he wanted Champions league level.
That said in the league Villa are as good if not better and would have been great to have got him on loan.

But then those people must have known something to bet on it.
