January transfer window

Spiritoftheseventies

Okay simple enough
who do you think will leave your club in January and who would you "like" to come in

Ill start with the Pool
Out- Voronin, Dossena
in- Robinho- pay as you play basis seeing he is struggling at moment with goal bonus included as part of deal. Maybe loan them few players from the academy.

Andy Reid -would bring so much to our team and I think this is perfect time for him to make a move.

Paul Tergat

Im guessing you are wanting this to be an unrealistic thing then?

Robinho to Pool? You dont have the cash surely? And wtf you on about with the pay as you play thing?


For United:
We dont need to buy a defender just get some fit.
I would like a striker but cant see us spending big in January so I guess its just for players to get back fit and be able to play players in position.

Ah you're not reading it right sure Voronin and Dossena could muster up the Rob fee alone

Realistically no one is going to pay big money for him in the form he is in at moment. We can pay for him in installed payments like aquilani. What would he be worth now. I think City may try to offload him in the new year. anyway back to the discussion.

projectmayhem

It's likely Luca Toni will be heading out of Bayern as he's a plague on that club at the moment but could easily rekindle his form elsewhere.

I didn't intend to take anything away from the discussion. I was just pointing out that Pool could not afford him. He is still a glamorous big name who would cost £20m plus. Pool bought Aqua with some of the money brought in from Alonso. I doubt there's another £20m just sat there waiting.

I dont think a) City would want to sell to Pool, b) Pool could match his wages at City, c) Pool could outbid others interested in him and d) Robinho would be all that interested in going there as if he moves i'd say it will be abroad.

I was just pointing out that its very unrealistic and so asked if it was kind of like a fantasy signing situation and if that was the case I thought you would go for Aguero/Villa.

Yeah Robinho a bit of a pipe dream. Think Rafa will look to sign another striker really.

Bounty Hunter

Who do I think will join Villa? Nobody

Who do I think will leave Villa? essentially nobody, maybe Harewood/Shorey who are already out on loan.

FYP:pac:

Think it will be a quite transfer window . Can't see many big signings.

One Cold Hand

Villa:

In: no one
Out: no one

Spiritoftheseventies

Its looking as if Keane will go to Celtic from Spurs anyway.
Wolves I think may bring in a defender as i think they struggled at left back yesterday.
Fergie may look for cover for Scholes as he struggled against Fulham in last game.

eddiehead

Can't see anybody leaving, would like to see Aguero come in obviously but probably not going to happen, well not in January at least

So villa squad is perfect. Have you cover in your key positions if player gets injured?

mike65

Out - Dossena, Voronin, Babel, (might get 12 million for that trio)
In - Goran Pandev (free), a good central defender like Mattew Upson.

BOHtox

Liverpool should sign pandev on a free,clichy and d'agostino and sell voronin, babel ,dossenna ,itanje and lucas i'd say thats balancing the books

edit: a good right mid to who can skin a player and put in a cross

No my reply was regarding what I think O'Neill will do.

I think we could do with another striker who can stick the ball in the net ( Robbie Keane maybe?). Unless Heskey goes though I don't think we'll get anyone in.
Apart from that I do think we are pretty well covered. We obviously don't have the depth of United or Chelsea, but we can't expect to have 2 class players in every position.

edit: we could possibly do with another LB, seeing as Bouma appears to be crocked, and Shorey is rubbish. But L. Young can play there if need be, so not an urgent matter.

What. The. Fuck?

Pay as you play? He's not feckin 34.

And a massive, massive lol at the suggestion of loaning us a few players from your academy. Why the hell would a club with one of the best, if not the best, academies in the league want players from an academy that hasn't produced a top player in the best part of a decade?

Good lord.

8-10

As long as Suarez stays at Ajax this transfer window I will be a very very happy man.

Pandev is the real bargain of the window. Would love to see Chelsea move for him and offer him more money than Inter but it looks like he's set on that move.

As for Chelsea
Out - None
In - Aguero

Mr. Guappa

SPURS:

Out: Bentley, Pavlyuchenko, Hutton... Cost 40 million between them, we will probably get 12-15 million for them now! Wouldn't mind seeing the back of Keane if we have a good replacement lined up.

In: Van Nistelrooy been strongly rumoured and Sandro, a young Brazilian CM. Would love Bellamy if Mancini wants rid of him, and hopefully O'Hara comes back from his loan spell at Pompey.

Well rumour was Chelsea were after Dalle Valle a few months back. As for city maybe we should loan your new manager a pair of glasses. Imagine not knowing who Peter Reid was. Only played with City for like ages!

Imagine, an Italian not knowing who managed City 17 years ago.

There are probably a lot of City fans that don't know that so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

If that's Sandro off SC Internacional, he's a very defensive minded player. Decent young prospect but may struggle to get into your team with the sheer size of that squad.

always good to make a good first impression. Yeah saw that nice scarf wrapped around his neck. Anyway to get this discussion back on track...

bayviewclose, are you drunk?

In's:

Maynor Figureoa - Done deal already, would have been completed in the summer but Wigan couldn't get their replacement in before the deadline, Michael Ball will be signed to cover until they can get a proper replacement in the summer, as I've said, a done deal.

Adam Johnson - A young, quick and exciting winger with a decent delivery. Exactly what we need, he's out of contract in the summer and despite interest from elsewhere, he's Sunderland through and through and that will seal the deal.

Out's:

Daryl Murphy - Disliked by the fans and hierarchy at Sunderland itself for sitting on his contract rather than playing football elsewhere. Has had to chances to move on before but he'll more than likely be off to Ipswich, Hull or Wolves (all whom have shown interest in him) in January.

He's 32 and is on £137,000 a week at Bayern.

Although he's avaliable for free, on those wages and with his current mood I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole.

He's going to be a Roma player by the end of January anyway.

MrKingsley

Would love spurs to generate a bit of money from selling bentley and pavyluchenko. And with all the talk of Keane going to celtic in january then a striker is a must. My choice would be Oscar Cardozo from benfica

I think I read somewhere that Wolfsburgs Marcel Schafer could be on the way to Villa,he's a LB.

As for us(City),I'd like to see us go for Angel Di Maria if United dont get him and possibly someone like Gary Cahill/Ryan Shawcross.Id love to see a good solid CB at City who's not a high-profile money grabber,but just gets the job done.

Another young overpriced Brazilian defensive midfielder? Could he have not called himself Lucasinho when he was choosing his name?

Johner

Aguero please.

I see N'Zogbia is being linked with Birmingham, cracking player and he would do well in a top 4 side in my opinion, hes only 23 and every time I see him he is briliant for Wigan, having a great season.

Spiritoftheseventies

yes Aguero being link to Chelsea but Athletico trying to up the price. Roman stalling at the moment according to reports.

Another cracking, value for money Steve Bruce signing.

He really is very astute in the transfer market.

Roma looks to be a 6 month loan deal from Bayern. If his form improves there then Bayern are likely to look to sell as the Gomez/Olic team up front are doing well with Klose as a back up (he'll probably do well in the world cup, too).

But yes he's a strange one this coming few months because he's unpredictable. Got his game a few weeks ago and was taken off at half time. His response? Walk out of the stadium and go home in a huff.

Yes and Robinho walked straight to the dressingroom game before last after he was taken off. Not forgetting time McShane kicked water bottle when he was taken off. end of the day manager has to make the decisions but players dont make it easy for them.

In fairness he was brought to England by Newcastle, credited as Bobby Robson's last signing as boss, Robson rated him highly.

I'd give more credit to Robson for bringing him to the PL rather than Bruce who picked him up when Kinnear upset him by calling him "insomnia"

Het-Field

Out
Robert Green
Matthew Upson
Scott Parker
Carlton Cole
Valon Behrami
Jack Collison

Any of those

In

Some random Italian/Spaniard, or some over the hiller like Aldo Duscher, Rivaldo, Figo, or Lizrazu

Anyway I think it will be a very quiet transfer window in general, unless City decide to spend on players at English clubs. If City do sign a couple of players from other English clubs for big money, then they could start a bit of a domino effect. If they don't buy from other English clubs, I think it could be a shockingly quiet January transfer window in the EPL.

On Lauri Dalle Valle, who someone mentioned earlier. He's 18 and been with Liverpool for almost 3 years now. He Finnish-Italian and has represented Finland underage up to the U-21s. There was talk of Finland playing him in friendly for the senior Finnish team to tie him down to Finland. Has spent time at Juventus prior to joining Liverpool. When he signed for Liverpool there was an offer from Chelsea to pay double whatever Liverpool were offering in terms of wages, but he turned them down.:) There was also strong rumours that Fulham made a bid of something in the region of €5m for him in the summer. Been consistently banging them in at all levels whenever he played. I think his record for the Academy team was something like 23 in 21 games last season. Been injured a good part of this season but due back at the start of year for the reserves Liverpool. Definately one to watch.
