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

[AV84]

Couple of other sites reporting today that Cyril Ngonge doesn't want to come to Villa despite an agreement being reached between the clubs.

Heard Firmino was looking for a quick return to PL, so I think he could be rather useful for us from the bench for the rest of the season.

Werner being linked to Manure now.

Let's hope Lepzig do them up like a kipper on the fee.

I would love him here but I feel he's behind us now and we should be looking for the next Timo

He has scored 2 yes two goals in Bundesliga this season so a perfect fit at OT with Ten Hag.

Yep 32 years old and a clever player with skills
Would get my vote

Plus it would be funny if he scored the winning goal against Liverpool in the title decider in May.

Like summer, fresh rumour  Digne leaving and Acuna on way in

Hes much more than the goals he doesn't score, he is a pressing machine and we need someone to help Watkins in that department as sometime there is only him pressing.
That said I think we should be looking for the next Timo, Toney, Vardy etc.  Happy to take punts on the likes of Duran and even if they don't pay off instantly we should get a decent fee for them selling them on. The problem with the modern game is there are very few top class strikers anymore so buying a ready made one costs you your soul.

I wouldn’t want Digne to leave Vinnie, any idea where he is headed to? Been one of our most consistent players and I don’t think Moreno is up to speed yet

Like summer, fresh rumour  Digne leaving and Acuna on way in

And like last summer it's probably BS

We 100% were in to acuna in the summer but his injury stopped the move. No idea if it’s been revisited

Hard to believe. Digne has been fairly solid this year, while Acuna is going in the complete opposite direction.. single digit appearances this season and multiple injuries. I'm not sure it would make a whole lot of sense to let Digne go. If Sevilla drop the asking price it may be worth bringing him in as cover/rotation, but we shouldn't be letting any outside back leave.

Digne was literally one foot out the door last summer. It was a last minute injury to Acuña that stopped the move happening. It wasn't BS.

I think it would be a shame to lose Digne at this point, he's been fantastic all season. If he does go I'd hope we get a few million more than we would have in the summer.

Digne has been great but on big wages , maybe that sthe reason , free up wages for a RB then

[LeonW]

Digne is a proven premier league performer who gives us something different to Moreno as someone who swings in good crosses rather than going right to the by line and cutting back.

I don’t know much about Acuna and haven’t seen him play much, but he’s 33 in October which would be a concern for a full back no matter how fit and injury free he may be.

Would seem a bit of strange one, even taking into account the savings we’d probably make on Digne’s wages. We surely can’t be that hard up.
