Popular Post DaveAV1 Posted January 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2019 When Dean Smith arrived, it was generally agreed that he had inherited a squad with some serious flaws. In addition it was widely thought that it would be difficult to get these players playing a more attacking style. He’ll need time was the general consensus. However he did quickly get us playing much better in regard to both performances and results. Recently we have had a lot of injuries, including 2 of our best players and performances have inevitably suffered. Incredibly some people are now, after only 14 games in charge and with barely any opportunity to bring in players, are questioning Smith. I find this unbelievable. I also hear people questioning why we haven’t signed players in one position or the other. It really beggars belief that anyone with an interest in football can’t see that it isn’t as simple as a trip to ASDA. People are even questioning why there aren’t any rumours, as though rumours from the internet are equivalent to hacking into the club’s private email account. I know we live in a world where people expect everything now, but a bit of common sense please. 38 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newest form of this is that Steve Bruce is going to purchase all of the players we don't want. I can't help but notice that many of these players, like Lansbury and Hogan for example, were not playing under Bruce and presumably are not exactly desperate to go and not play for him somewhere else. Yeah it's weird isn't it It fits the narrative though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The best way to navigate the transfer window as a fan is to try to not get carried away with rumours one way or the other. Take them all with a pinch of salt. There used to be a saying on here ITSOTP -In The Shirt On The Pitch. Wait until then to get excited.

Villaphan04 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Not entirely sure about this guy but thought I'd throw this out there..

Looks like that new one gone now actually. It's a shame if he's gone but it's probably not great for the club to have people leaking moves. He always posted names as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Quote Chelsea will make a decision on Tammy Abraham’s future by January 14, after it emerged there is a recall option which must be triggered by a set date. Abraham is on loan at Aston Villa but can be recalled by Chelsea two weeks into the January transfer window due to the terms of the deal. Wolverhampton Wanderers want to sign Abraham, an England international, on loan for the second half of this season and are now waiting for Chelsea to make a decision on the striker’s next move. It is understood that Wolves are confident of tempting the 21-year-old to Molineux and are convinced he is eligible to play for them, despite featuring for Villa and Chelsea’s under-23s this season. Under Fifa rules, no player can feature in matches for more than two clubs but Wolves believe the under-23s game, and the Community Shield, do not count as official. Abraham has scored 16 goals for Villa this season and Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has identified him as a priority signing to sharpen up his squad’s attack. Nuno said: “We have a squad and now we have to look at it. We have to analyse what we have in front of us and who can deliver these things. “Now we have the chance with the transfer window, and anything can happen.” Villa believe the situation will be resolved either way in the next few days, and remain hopeful that Chelsea will agree to let Abraham stay at the Championship club. However, they do have plans in place if Chelsea opt to cut the loan spell short. Meanwhile, Wolves defender Kortney Hause’s move to Villa is in danger of collapsing over valuation. Villa have offered £2m for the 23-year-old centre-half but Wolves want almost double that amount and negotiations have hit an impasse. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/01/03/chelsea-decide-tammy-abrahams-future-january-14/?WT.mc_id=tmg_share_tw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hmmm, we've offered £2m for Hause, Wolves want £4m. I wonder what sort of fee would placate both clubs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
