sne Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Someone that can control a football with his feet please. Nah, that doesn't fit Lamberts style of play. Who's the tallest striker in League 2? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 11, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 11, 2013 We are going to sign a 20-23 year old who plays for a team that we think we might have played once in a friendly on Football Manager. This player is going to cost £800k-1.2m but it will be reported at about £4m. He'll improve our team and will prove the doubters wrong (he will inevitably be doubted from the start because the fans of Team We Might Have Played Once In A Friendly On Football Manager F.C. said that he only played on-and-off for them and was only ever average at best). The following will be said about him: "He isn't what we need. We need a quality attacking midfielder" "I don't understand why we signed him? He's like Jordan Bowery" "Who's Jordan Bowery?" "I have complete faith in what Lambert is trying to do here. All you who criticise this signing aren't real fans etc" "Here's a YouTube compilation. He looks good to me" "He doesn't have a beard, so what's the point." "We could have put this money towards Hiroshi Kiyotake" "Seriously guys, who's Jordan Bowery? I think we can pretty much close the thread now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 So far the links i've seen are: Pontus Jansson from Malmö FF - Tall defender, turning 23 soon who i've seen quite a lot of and that i think is some way away from being an improvement on what we already have. Lewis Kidd from Celtic - CM/Defender who i've never seen and know nothing about, but as he's not yet part of the Celtic senior squad im guessing this would be one for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Should be no excuses for not backing the manager. If what was said to the trust was was true then I don't see how the manager won't be backed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I think we'll buy some cheap Spanish midfielder who costs 500k and only plays a bit part on some low fodder team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Express from September 17th, 2013 ASTON VILLA will make another bid for Bulgarian midfielder Ivelin Popov in January after failing with a move for the player in the most recent transfer window. Reports in Russia suggest that Villa were the club that showed the greatest interest in signing Popov from Kuban Krasnodar during the offseason but failed to meet the club's asking price for the 25-year-old. According to Izvestia, Popov was willing to join Villa and had accepted personal terms at the club, but a transfer fee was not able to be agreed, with Kuban holding out for £8.4m. Kuban are reportedly still willing to do business with Villa in the January transfer window if the Villains make an acceptable offer. But Paul Lambert could face competition from a series of Dutch clubs, with PSV, FC Twente and Feyenoord all thought to be interested. There are some doubts about whether Popov would be willing to leave behind the prospect of European football at Kuban to play in the Premier League with Villa, but there is no reason to believe the player's stance has change in the last two months. Popov joined Kuban from Turkish side Gaziantepspor in 2012, settling in quickly in Russia and scoring 12 goals in 36 appearances from midfield last season.

Kwan Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I'd really hope that we can fork over 8m for Popov but I don't see it happening in January. Next summer, maybe, but not this January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I don't think we will buy anyone. We were desperate last year and bought Sylla, I think we will be comfortable this year so I don't think we will do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coda Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Milner, This! Not sure if Pellegrini is a fan. Get him back on loan with Citeh's repressive regime image laundering owners picking up a chunk of the wages. If Everton can get Gareth Barry then this could happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 We need some quality in, and goals from, central midfield. I'd take Milner back in a flash, even if it was just for the last half of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelle Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yeah, Milner back would be great. Would be quite stunned if it happens, though. What about the new PL-star Peter Whittingham? A great player I've heard, and according to very reliable sources he's desperate to come here and we want him. Not really sure what's taking so long, though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
