P3te Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 VILLA: Club source tells @bbcwm that they are unlikely to do any business now this evening. Hoolahan chase may be over. #DeadlineDayBBCWM Kind of relieved. Do we actually need Hoolahan ? NEED... no. Would be useful... yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobler Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 That's that then. Happy with the Bertrand signing at least. Anyway, it's Friday evening so let's put down our phones and comps and go and get drunk. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyp_avfc Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Shame we are looking like we aren't going to bring anyone in... I'd welcome a Cm from League 1 at this moment.... Bit annoying we didn't get the O'Kane lad from Bournemouth.. few people rate him too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 VILLA: Club source tells @bbcwm that they are unlikely to do any business now this evening. Hoolahan chase may be over. #DeadlineDayBBCWM Kind of relieved. Do we actually need Hoolahan ? Not particularly, we need a quality midfielder though. Instead we have added to our Pokemon collection of strikers and made a very good loan signing at left back. We have most definitely not splashed the cash though, sadly.

Guest av1 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 But passing on so called info that then proves to be bollocks isn't very helpful is it ? A meteorologist might tell us that the sun is coming out tomorrow and I'll be a bit pissed off if pisses down while I'm wearing shorts. Doesn't make them liars, sometimes information is wrong.

bobzy Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Assuming we stay up (which we should), the summer will be huge. I understand not splashing out in January completely as we're not going to push on to any material extent this season, but something needs to happen in the summer.

PaulC Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 No surprise if we don't bring anybody else in, we are in a comfortable position in the league so the urgency is not as desperate as it was a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWillSignForVilla Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 According to that guy we had a bid of £6.5m accepted for Aspas earlier in the wondow too... Would love it to be true though, think he'd add a lot to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Albert Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I think its madness we haven't bought an AM in, crazy. we've struggled all season for someone who can put there foot on the ball and make things happen. we've got ourselves into a decent postion league wise, an AM would really have seen us push on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the object of a transfer window is to improve not just to sign players when you're worried about relegation. We have a manager who wanted to sign players.

I understand not splashing out in January completely as we're not going to push on to any material extent this season, but something needs to happen in the summer. The thing is, the manager hasn't been backed. For over a month he has said he wants a number 10, we knew this anyway because we were in for them in the Summer. Earlier this month he stated that he had many targets for the position, he then stated that it is an expensive position to fill and from the targets he had identified no deals could be struck. We then have had the Hoolahan saga but we couldn't even get him, in fact we probably never would have. This is the worry for me, I didn't expect us to splash out, but I did expect the manager to be backed. We've brought in two loan deals, that pretty much says it all about our financial situation. We aren't safe yet by a long shot, fair enough we are getting there but if the manager of the team believes we need a certain type of player then you'd expect him to be backed to bring said player in so that we can secure safety and push ourselves up the league. The fact that after we signed Bertrand on loan Lambert had to come forward and say we may not be able to afford him in the Summer speaks volumes about the ambition of the board. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
