It seems as was suspected that money is yet again too tight to mention in a January window at Villa Park...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It's ok we'll get one of them in the summer then...oh hold on they'll have a great World Cup and hence be worth triple the price. Guess we'll have to make do with a Championship player then to fill that role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Hoolan will be our frikking saviour Must be too much to ask to have a midfielder with a bit of quality! At least we have Grant "spring chicken" Holt to bang in the goals. After all we were in desperate need of another striker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lions_Roar Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I bet most people on here have never seen him play yet are dissapointed we're not signing him. How does that one work then? Time to close the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to close the thread. Yup, and the same with this legendary Kiyotake. I doubt many have seen him enough to form a valuable opinion, but it doesn't stop him from being a wanted player. If we want a Japanese player, I would think Ryo Miyaichi is a better alternative on loan. He has some skill, vision and pace that would suit us. Some confidence on the ball, badly needed at Villa Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) No interest in the player according to Lambert http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-transfer-news-paul-6521045 Edit: Linked on previous page already. Anyway, this hardly comes as a surprise, I think we all knew Defour wouldn't be arriving. Edited January 17, 2014 by Shillzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avflife Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Looks like third-party ownership has **** up this deal, remember Porto only own 56% of Defour (a leg, arm and one eye) so we/or anyone would have to pay whoever his third party ownership is a fee on top of that. Deal would most likely cost around 10m+ and those days of spending are long gone. Kristof Terreur @HLNinEngeland 52m Porto have told Steven #Defour they don't want to loan him out. They want at least £6m. #AVFC won't pay that fee and have other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Defour has been repeatedly linked with Villa by his agent this month, but Lambert insists he will not be making a move for Porto’s Belgian international midfielder. “No, there’s nothing in that. I’ve not seen that one,” said Lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) So porto want 6 mill for him even though they originally paid 5 mill and he's not even playing first team football on a regular basis? Right... I guess your price goes up when you sit on the bench Edited January 17, 2014 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
