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

I totally forgot that we still own Sanson. Saw something there about him being on track for a 15mil permanent move to Nice in the summer.

[VILLA MOLE]

Claudio Reyna’s kid.

yes i just googled him
and Mendez is his agent , is he any good?

[Brazilian Villain]

Supposed to be very good (I don't watch much Bundesliga) and would probably be a help to our commercial profile in the US.

[AV84]

Claudio Reyna’s kid.

Makes sense now why it says he was born in Sunderland.

He's the player who was involved in the whole drama with the US national team coach, right? Or his parents were on his behalf.

15m? Are you sure there isn't a decimal point missing?! I loved Morg and wish he was still with us; by all accounts he's having a great season near the top of Ligue Une but he'll have at most a year left on his Villa contract in the summer. I'd be pleasantly surprised if a a non-PSG French club had the dosh to spend that much on him and keep him on the wages he's on with us.

[edgysatsuma89]

Yeah, we're not getting 15 million for Sanson.

The headline says 15mil but reading it, it does sound like maybe that's what they'll end up paying in total. So the loan fee for this season, and whatever is left to make it up to 15mil. Apparently they wanted to sign him fully last summer but couldn't afford to, so they worked out a loan deal with the full intention of opting to buy this coming summer.

I still don't see it being close to that. We only paid just over 15 for him and I don't see him retaining that value.

[edgysatsuma89]

Looking at the Reyna rumours on Google it looks like every man and his dog have either been "offered him" or "in for him".

Maybe the 15 is referring to what we paid for him then. It's on the Birmingham Mail site. Says something about closure on 15.5 million transfer, but doesn't mention money anywhere in the article. Could well be just referring to his transfer here.

Yeah, 15.5 is what we paid for him so that'll be it.

Yes he’s quite good. Of course there would be the risk to Emery if he didn’t pick Reyna that his mom would try and expose something in Emery’s past as spite for not playing him enough.

*see pre World Cup story about Danielle Reyna and US coach Gregg Berhalter

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Reyna was supposed to be the next big thing when he broke into the Dortmund team but he’s never realised that potential, he’s had a few injuries from memory. An attacking midfielder though, not really a position that we’re desperate for cover in but I’m sure Emery could work his wonders.

He's got his hands full trying to get a tune out of Diaby at the moment.

[algy]

All those predicting we wouldn’t sign anyone in this window must be feeling pretty stupid right now
We’ve only gone and signed Ned

Yeah, egg on your face non-believers.  Or should that be .... NED on your face?!?!?

LOLoutLOUD.
