Might be a risk worth taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Or, at the risk of repeating myself, get Ivan Toney. Shankland or Toney would at least be gettable and would allow us to play a proper formation with players in roles they can manage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I will be surprised if we get anyone one in before the weekend. Hopefully someone will be in for Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 2 hours ago, Keener window-cleaner said: I really hope there is something in the Nzonzi rumours, he is exactly what we need and would be an amazing signing. Most probably other teams would jump ahead of us in the que though, get it done fast! I'm not sure. Two years ago his stock was at all time high as he was very good for Sevilla in La Liga and CL, Juventus were linked. Went to Roma and he flopped. Sent out like many outcasts to Turkey and dosen't seem to have been great out there either. It does feel the sort of signing a relegation threatened club would make. Lazy to yet again do a Fulham comparison but they signed Ryan Babel this time last year who had similar career decline and he wasn't actually too bad for them, far from their worst signing that window. N'zonzi would improve our 11 but we need more than that to stay up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it's going back a few years - but big deals do happen early in the window. Carew and Young actually arrived pretty late in the window, they both made their debut up at Newcastle which was right at the end of January 2007. Very exciting day/evening that was as was Monday 17th January 2011 when we signed Darren Bent. Problem here is we're potentially going to just let slip two huge games in Brighton and Watford go by while we wait for signings and make the overall task much harder. At least the Burnley win has still kept us in touch, imagine if we'd lost that one aswell. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What unknown gems, they got Pererya from Juve and he'd played in a CL final the season before. Delefeou was at Barca. Those are the types we need to be signing more of imo. Players who haven't quite cut it at major clubs but still vastly experienced in the 25-28 age bracket. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 This may be wrong but it feels like since MON we haven’t actually found a proper gem other than Benteke and Gueye (and neither of them wanted to play for us). We sure have pissed a lot of money up the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Love our CEO, owners, DOF, manager & staff. That said ....... here it comes its a bloody disgrace we do not have a striker in yet half way through the window. Come ON. We have known we will need one for at least two months as a backup / different option to Wesley at least and as it turns out as a replacement for the rest of season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t just happen that quickly - particularly in January. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
