SSN say we have made three bids the latest last night all turned down and another prem club has bid today.

Villa have made 3 bids all turned down latest was last night and the 4th bid is from another club

SSN say they have an update on Hoolahan

Gabby is on just under 70k

Well I was 2 in 1986 and I don't see it the same as John

My guess is Hoolahan or no one

I said two games ago when he scored that if he gets 2 or 3 in the next 5 games he will probably come alive again. Looks like its happening that's got to be worth a few draws into wins for the rest of the season.

His contract is up this season Maqroll.

I'm not a scout or a football manager but I fail to see at this point in time what the point of bringing in any player that offers either nothing different from what we have or a player in any position that is no better than what we have. We have a full squad now, the unwanted players are almost all gone now is the time to spend nothing rather than spend for the sake of it. If what I have thought since Lambert came is right we should be buying more expensive players this summer (same budget as always but many less players needed) if that doesn't pan out and either we don't get the same money to spend I'll moan about Randy if Lambert goes and buys like he has previously (but this time needlessly) I'll moan about him.

Good point Woody that Delph thunderbolt must have knocked some positivity into him.

Yes John but only by virtue of being one of the seven teams continually in the league since its inception

The only thing that will kick our season up a gear is a scoring Benteke but remember realistically the highest we can finish this season is 9th

You never know sometimes it takes a big money signing to get stuff moving so Newcastle with 20m in their pocket may kick off some movement. Stranger things have happened, but I still don't think we have more than 1 or 2 million left from this seasons budget.

Neither do the rest of us bigjohn IN THE SUMMER when a new budget is allocated.

BJ post on another thread for moaning about Randy this is for transfer speculation.

Funny enough I said the other day after he left Southampton he would be the best January transfer window signing. As always this is just rumour at the moment but it could be could news, who knows really takeovers are hit and miss.

John I had a tooth pulled yesterday and that is preferable to explaining again my position to you, its boring.

Brilliant post Bobzy this is exactly what I think is happening at the club.

It's not that weird him going on loan IF you consider the situation maybe that he has told his club he is going on a free in the summer and Blackpool receive a loan fee. Other than that its weird.

Using your last post that would come under bad planning unless there were a small amount of the original budget yet.

When players are signed in January it generally means that the club has failed to plan what they will need the season. Transfer budgets should be spent in the summer window. Only very occasionally does it mean that a target of the club that they have had their eye on for sometime has suddenly become available.

What's a meltdown signing? A Big panic buy for a club that is in serious trouble of going down?

No one has said that Bobzy. No one has said that Bobzy.

At this point I hope we don't BUY just for the sake of it, they must be an improvement on the current first 11. I couldn't care less about loans as that is just wages for 5 months.

So?
