2024 January transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

[ChicagoLion]

Well anyway, I've just sent a text to my mate who's good friends with Iheanacho to ask if there's anything going on, and he said no.

Not sure that this quality of information is appropriate for this site.

Most of Villa Twitter seems to be getting themselves in a froth about Dybala.

Seemingly for no more substantial reason than his family is apparently friends with Martinez's family. But y'now, there's his name just in case.

Next stop Messi

Wasn't he linked before for much the same reason? Then this added fuel to it.

Is the window actually open now i.e. can people be transferred from one Club to another today

He's also got a clause which just kicked in which means any non-Italian team can sign him for €13m this month. So you'd think that someone would be interested in a punt at that level.

Probably Chelsea, because it's always Chelsea.

Opened midnight on 1st. Closes 11 pm on 31st Jan unless you are a club in North London in which case an extra 3 weeks is allowed.

No it's just slightly ajar, so you can shout at them as they pass by but that's it.

[DrGonzo]

Well the original source are now saying Villa have a verbal agreement to sign Ngonge and that his agent is set to meet Monchi to discuss personal terms.

All sorts of stuff to do first, like preparing our war chest and locking Luiz in the broom cupboard again.

Well the original source are now saying Villa have a verbal agreement to sign Ngonge and that his agent is set to meet Monchi to discuss personal terms.

This is in line with what Football Italia said yesterday about the clubs having agreed a deal but the player hadn't. Although it does  sound more positive than "the player prefers Fiorentina".

[DrGonzo]

"As a result, his representative is reportedly due to hold a round of talks with Monchi to try and agree on personal terms, which are not expected to be a problem.

And if all goes to plan, the winger – who can also operate as a more central attacking midfielder – could arrive in the Midlands in the coming days to undergo medical checks.

Ngonge is now reportedly deciding on that next step but for all intents and purposes, it now seems that a move to Villa Park is on the cards for the former Belgium U19 international."

There's more flesh on the bone now.  Also maybe a reason for Duran edging towards the fire exit?  Sorry I'm off work with injury and so trawling the internet bored. 

[VillaTim]

Ngonge in / Duran out would be a class start to the window

[Lsvilla]

I like Durán.

[LeeB]

Man I've never heard of in, hugely promising striker out? That would look like the kind of deal Everton would be looking for to avoid further FFP sanctions to me.
