dn1982 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I know he hasn't been spectacular tonight but I'd try for Januzaj on loan. He's got a quality left foot and isn't that fancied by LVG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 If all we were prepared to spend during this window was £3.5m and around half of what Citeh want for Sinclair and our manager now considers it unlikely we will be bringing anyone else in am I alone in wondering what happened to the £8m we were said to have available for Cleverley that is not now going to be spent? It appears our custodian is quite prepared to risk our future in the top flight rather than to spend the money we need to buy or loan a couple of players that would greatly increase our chances of staying up. What a way to run a football club into the ground! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a way to run a football club into the ground! I was wondering the same thing, although I am glad we didn't buy Cleverley. Guess it was a once in a lifetime chance.

DCJonah Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Pretty desperate in all honesty Sad states of affairs when likes of Palace can out spend us. Gil will help but if other teams near us improve which looks like they will , we are going to be in big trouble.Here's why the likes of Leicester and Palace can outspend us: Their core when promoted was Championship players, on Championship wages, bought for Championship fees. They survived in the Championship with their income from that. They suddently come into the Premier League and they've got all this TV money coming into their coffers. That money is all profit that can be spent. We, on the other hand, have big wages, and Premier League associated expenses. We have no wiggle room. They have lots and lots of wiggle room So why don't they out spend most teams? Why does it seem we're the only one? I think its more to do with Lerner not giving a shit and waiting for a sale rather than us trying to be as competitive as we can under FFP rules. I don't understand what you're asking here You've explained why championship clubs can spend a decent amount but why do we seem to be the only established premier league team that can't compete? I don't believe our lack of spending is down to FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 For all we know we might still sign somebody before the end of the transfer window. We might just be playing the waiting game (in relation to Sinclair) in the hope Man City change their demands the closer to the transfer window we get.

We can't sign Januzaj as we already have cleverley from utd. Doesn't look likely there will be further signings either.. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-scott-sinclair-deal-8506379 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 So, just to clarify, we can't we take Januzaj on loan? Not while Cleverley remains a loanee here. We'd have to either sign him permanently or terminate his loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) a loan will happen towards the end of the window. Most likely City will agree something for Sinclair just to get him off the books Edited January 23, 2015 by KSV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I don't know, I think Sinclair is off due to wages. It's like last January when we all thought Hoolahan was coming to Villa Park. Now I am not saying both of these are amazing players but we know, and Lambert knows, the lack of creativity in this side. For about 2 years. And the board has not been able to back him to bring in a player. We could be sleepwalking into disaster with this measly transfer budget. Lerner, it's over to you. Do you want your asset you want to sell in the summer to be a top flight side? Prove it. This club has been a total shambles since 2010, with no thought out transfer budget, playing style or club identity. A week to save our season. And possibly to save our club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Well terminate Cleverleys loan and get Januzaj!! He wanted to got to Everton so let them have him!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CannockVillan Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yeah it's that easy. Wot if ManU won't deal with us if we terminate the cleverly loan instead of buying him. There's more than one side to a loan deal. In fact there are 3!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Well terminate Cleverleys loan and get Januzaj!! He wanted to got to Everton so let them have him!!! Terminate Cleverleys loan and loan Alexandre Pato who is being offered around on loan and still only 25. I believe we have been paying Cleverley's wages so get rid of his £60/70k and get someone decent like Pato in... well would be a pipe dream but he is being offered around, him and Benteke with Gil behind would be amazing!!

Nicho Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Id be pretty annoyed if I though we got rid of Cleverly and then he returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I doubt we're paying anywhere near £60/70k p/w for Cleverley's wages. Surely we wouldn't/couldn't pay that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah same thought - we are paying cleverley 60/70k but not willing to pay the reported 60k for Delph. Sorry but not having it. Man U will probably be paying some of his wages.

villanwesty88 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I still think there will be some movement before deadline day. I think we will swap Delph with someone at Spurs or Liverpool and possibly reach an agreement with MCFC over Sinclair. We could also use Vlaar to swap a player with in an area that we are weaker than defence - wide midfield/central mid/attacking mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
