May-Z Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Purslow said our transfers are planned or opportunistic. I think in terms of planned transfers, we were probably done a couple of weeks ago when initial interest/bids didn't go through. I think today might see the opportunistic movement of Targett going to Newcastle and Hickey coming in. It'll be both or none, no in-between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I'm wondering if they've decided that for now, they are going to put all their efforts into getting Dougie signed up. I mean, it seems we are even moving on the back up Left Backs before a CDM haha. If the opportunity arises and all the components align, we will sign a player, it's common knowledge that SG wants 2 quality players in every position. He isn't messing about at LB by the look of it, Hickey in for Targett is brilliant business. We can sign a DM without losing a player, if I'm SG I'd want to see what Dougie can do with a good DM in there, I do not think it's cut and dried that that anyone goes out of MF yet, we can worry about tidying up in the summer. All I can see happening today hopefully is Hickey and a DM in, with 3 or 4 going out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I have a crafty feeling we'll get a couple in. Including the elusive / mythical CDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my other thought....but would be a bit more difficult to push through last minute. I don't think we really do last-minute anymore. I wonder when the last deadline Day signing was...

It's almost as if it's not as massive an issue as it's made out to be and other areas of the squad are more pressing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 McNulty hinting we are done perhaps? Every January over the last few years the rhetoric is the same, Villa have their ducks all lined up well in advance and don't need to be scrambling around late on deadline day. I think apart from Targett, we are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
