TheMightyVillans Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 At this rate I don't even think grant holt would join us and we probably couldn't even afford him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I took search advice from a forum it resulted in me seeing something involving 2 girls and 1 cup. I haven't been the same since. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael118 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I would try and get Mile Jedinak and Dwight Gayle from Crystal Palace. Jedinak will have a point to prove and is a leader who will make us a lot more solid in midfield and in general. Gayle is dynamic, skillful & quick and an ideal partner for Libor Kozak. I can see them working well together. Both would be relatively cheap. Get Debuchy in on loan and Mirallas on loan and I'll put $100 on Villa to stay up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Charlie Austin is on £100k+ per week at Southampton. That's the reason nobody else was in for him apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 He is on a 100k because he probably missed out on a huge signing bonus for leaving before Bosman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 The Sun and this report reckons we now want Rico Henry http://the72.co.uk/46149/aston-villa-plot-move-for-walsall-left-back/ Quote Premier League side Aston Villa are plotting a move for Walsall left-back Rico Henry, according to a report by The Sun. Henry has been in superb form for the League One side this season and is believed to have been watched by Premier League sides Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur already. Henry has been a regular in Walsall’s starting XI this season, with both Dean Smith and Sean O’Driscoll focusing on bringing youth players through into the first team. With 25 appearances already this season, this approach has clearly benefited Henry. Despite the interest in the defender Walsall boss Sean O’Driscoll has said that the club aren’t looking to part with Henry, and only a substantial bid would be enough to tempt the club to sell. O’Driscoll said: It’s going to take a hell of a lot of money to take Rico away from this football club. Every player has a price don’t they? We all know that. But it would take a very big offer and I’m not sure he’d want to go, at the moment, as well. “Despite all the clubs linked, nobody has approached the football club. He wants to keep developing and playing in first-team football games. He’s got to keep progressing and developing and doing what he’s doing.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I still be.ieve we will do some business this window and hopefully it'll be with an eye on staying up and not preparing for next season. If we don't however what message does that send to Garde the squad and the fans? Garde has got the players fighting and believing now not adding to them basically says we are down. Who would want to be a part of a club that gives in so early? This time last year Leicester bought Kasmeric he didn't set the world alight but it may have inspired the existing players. We need a CF now go get one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted January 26, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2016 Apparently Galatasaray are willing to let Burak Yilmaz go for £5m and are even prepared to loan him out until the summer. He has a decent goals to game ratio so if we are only going for cheap transfers we could do worse than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djemba_Villan Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Rico Henry would be a gamble id be interested to see. Only thing which makes me think that the link is BS is that we have a future star in Amavi as LB and can't see where another promising player fits in.

I've never seen this guy play but he has been mentioned on here a few times as a player with huge potential. Regarding Amavi. Without sounding to pessimistic, his injury probably means he starts next season with us, but unfortunately I can't see a player of that class hanging around to long after relegation. I'm sure he will have no end suitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Amavi turns out to deliver on his potential we will sell him for a lot of money. It's right that the club would already have his replacement at the club and with appearances under his belt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those mentioned I'd never heard of but you need to get lucky when spending very low amounts otherwise someone else would've took the gamble. Leicester have hit the jackpot but I agree you need a balance. .......but its not just Leicester is it? Look, no one is saying it is easy.....but it is doable. just a few recent examples of poor budget signings Illori Crespo Luna Bowery Tonev Hellenius In recent times we are notoriously bad at it......but in times gone by very Good. Platt Yorke McGrath Gray Evans Barry Teale Cropley Rimmer Swain Morley Leonard just a few off the top of my head. The difference....The internet yes..... but mainly the people spotting them.
