January Transfer Rumour Thread 24/25

[Hampshirewhites]

As a CF? Latte Lath springs to mind. The link to him going to the States is bizarre imo. Wasted going over there. Big mo run though. And apparently his agent’s a cunt. Willy Gnonto 18 months ago type of cunt. Or some big Slav/Scandinavian.

Got to be better value in Europe for a number 9 and a 10. We seem to be pinning are number 10 hope's on Bundia. Farke apparently wants him but surely a lower prem club would be his first choice, if he leaves Villa.

Said it at start of window, if we can’t get deal for him done sharpish, move on. Don’t want to be hanging on till end of window and miss out completely because we did. But I think we’ve been here before..

We have definitely been here before

Doubt Buendia will happen. He won't come to sit on our bench and Farke isn't going to drop Aaronson after he's ran his bollocks off for him. He'll view it as depth we need there, rather than a fix.

As for a keeper, unlikely given Farke's recent comments.

Strikers, I guess it depends if Paddy goes (though how can he if he's injured?). Farke said in a recent presser Willy can play there if shit hits fan so doesn't seem to be much worry about it.

I think best case scenario is we pull a rabbit out of the hat from Europe. A young no.10 or striker perhaps. Surely we must have some on the radar.

Yep, fucking ridiculous.
For the sake of £20 million we could be throwing promotion away. If we don't get promoted there will be another big sale off of players and it we will be stuck in this league for a very long time.

Just in case you missed it Moyes is his replacement

Buendía on the bench for Villa.

A very big concern. We’d be taking for granted that the first half season trends will continue. No guarantees in that. And there’s no guarantees they would if we went on a shopping spree. But surely you cover your arse? Obvious deficiencies in the keeping dept. And we’re short up front. If Piroe does have an ongoing ‘niggle’ it’s shades of Bamford summer of 21/22.
Not so concerned about a #10. We tend to create enough as we are. Don’t get me wrong, wouldn’t turn down Buendia (that rumbles on) but feel the other 2 positions are no brainers. It’s due diligence.

Definitely cover our arses if we can do. No point a signing for sake of it. Not seen a player go to a promotion rival that would walk into this team.

Lets be honest and logical. Decent players will be hard to get and will only be released when replacements have been sorted unless we bully teams in this league or top of league 1.

Anyone in mind? I could only really think of Whittaker who would potentially improve us.

Tbh, none that would come to us. I feel Whittaker would end up one of those signings that we struggle to get rid of and fans moan was a waste of money.

Prefers coming in from out wide anyway. Were well covered in that area. Let’s not make the same mistake Orta did 2 years ago.

Didn’t you say going to Burnley?

Burnley & Hull have bid for him. Don’t think either been accepted.
