January 2023 Transfer Rumours, Discussions and Done Deals Thread

I wish Dan Bardell and the others all the best.

We are lucky there are people like him putting out such a huge range of podcasts and other media (we must surely have more than most other clubs) and clearly the production values on a lot of them are very high or he wouldn’t be doing his thing on Sky now.

Absolutely wish them all the best of luck.

I look forward more than anything to hearing Liam from TheVillaPodcast spending 15 minutes telling SSN why Pep Guardiola is a ******.

That podcast can be really funny.  I was out for a run the other week listening to them talking about Robin Olsen and was guffawing as I ran past people in the street.  An unfit man belly-laughing while being out of breath is obviously a sight to behold for the average passer by.

I was hoping for a few pages of transfer talk…

There isn't any.

Hopefully, the interviewer, post game might ask Unai the obvious question: can we expect any fresh faces in next week Unai?  Instead of some shite about Moreno not starting the game.

Today shows we need another striker. Ollie off injured and I reckon Ings was carrying a knock but we had no other option but to leave him on.

We lack any kind of physicality with Ings up front.  He's a good finisher but the days of him chasing the ball are long gone and we need someone up there like a younger Benteke.

I think Ings needs someone to play off now so I'd be looking for a target man of some sort I think. I still think Tghuram is the player we could do with but it looks like Chelsea will get him despite having a squad of about 60.

I see Trossard from Brighton will probably be available. Worth a punt?

[ldavfc4eva]

I would have said yes to Trossard Ger, but her seems to have a chip on his shoulder after the World Cup

Both Spuds and Arsenal rumoured to be after him.

[paul_e]

Trossard is a decent player but I don't think he's what we need even if he didn't have a questionable attitude.

[eamonn]

Yeah, he's a great "technician" but I'd only go for him if we booted out Buendia or Coutts.

Good to get the win tonight, but our frailties were there for all to see again.  Think Douglas Luiz has had enough chances now and it's time to get a combative central midfielder who can keep the ball to fit in alongside Kamara.  We also need a wide player as Bailey squanders possession far too often, though he did score a cracker tonight.

We need another forward option as well as Ings looks shot, but that might prove a bit trickier.

Guendouzi, Zaha and a striker for me. I’m a bit stumped for a name though.
