Woody1000 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I just never understand when people start mentioning 3 or 4 players to bring into the club in January. We didn't do it when we were spending competitively with our rivals so I definitely don't see us doing it now. We will probably confirm Cleverley as a full transfer, and get a loan. Even if we get fees for Vlaar and Delph?That's a scenario that I hadn't thought of. I can't see us being offered a fee for either that would make it worth selling them, but you never know. I just can't see us being big movers in January based on previous form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think, Delph would be worth similar money based on his age and potential but there's unlikely to be a team desperate enough for him not to wait till the summer. Could happen though.

Could happen though.I think if we could get £8m for Vlaar in January, then we should take it. With his injury record, that would be a fantastic return for a player with 6 months left. I don't know why (possibly foolish optimism) but I think that Delph might just sign a new deal. Like many others probably, I just feel that Delph 'owes' us for the amount of his Villa career that he has spent injured. That said, modern footballers generally don't give a toss about anything but themselves so that is probably a lost cause. We shall have to wait and see what develops....

TrentVilla Posted December 4, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 4, 2014 £8m for Vlaar in January? Seriously as if that is going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 £8m for Vlaar in January? Seriously as if that is going to happen. Oh, I agree it's highly unlikely. I was simply saying that figure would be much too good to turn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted December 4, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 4, 2014 I fully expect him to be here in Feb and leave in the summer for nothing, even if we get offers I can't see him wanting to go when he can wait and go on a Bosman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 That depends upon what Van Gack or Whinger are prepared to throw at him to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see either coming in for him, they didn't in the summer and I don't think they will next month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 If they are pushing for champions league places and the competition is tight I can see both coming for him to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 More importantly what about transfers IN? Or am I just in dreamland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Somebody mentioned this before, I think the only money we have is for Cleverley and if that deal falls through that 8 million will conveniently disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Somebody mentioned this before, I think the only money we have is for Cleverley and if that deal falls through that 8 million will conveniently disappear. Isn't Cleverley out of contract next summer? £8m is pretty steep if it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Somebody mentioned this before, I think the only money we have is for Cleverley and if that deal falls through that 8 million will conveniently disappear. Based on what exactly? ..or are you saying if the Cleverley deal falls through, we should just spunk £8m on someone for the sake of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) Here is what Lambert said about Delph recently: "In another development, Lambert has admitted that Villa may consider selling Fabian Delph in January. His contract is up at the end of the season and the England international, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, has indicated that he wishes to keep his options open, leaving Villa with the choice of trying to cash in when they can or hold on to the player for the remainder of the season because of his importance to the team. Asked if Delph could be sold in the transfer window, Lambert said: “For people going into the last year there is always that case. You are never sure what can happen. With the Bosman ruling the player holds the cards. I know that because I’ve done it myself. The main thing is to get him fit. That’s the main objective, to get him going again because he was playing ever so well. Once we get him back fit, I’m pretty sure he will be ready to go and we will see what happens.” That sounds very much to me as if Delph has told the club there's no way he's renewing, and Lambert has accepted the fact and is trying to sell him in January so we receive a fee for him (which is, IMO, the right course of action).

SikhInTrinity Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) Wouldn't play Delph or Vlaar again, too many players like Delph bang on about loyalty, how many good seasons has he had, possibly 1, rest of the time he spent it being injured. As for Vlaar, agree he'll be off to Rome in the summer, a slower paced game where his calf doesn't fall apart.

This. Deplh and Vlaar should both be sold in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
