Pongo Waring Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I'd sign Jonathan Rowe just to see the Norwich fans have another meltdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted January 28 Popular Post Share Posted January 28 I really like the idea of youth in Jan and then 1 or 2 top signings in the summer. If we add Kosta, Rogers and Rowe (maybe), that gives us a lot of depth next season and time for these players to learn in the meantime and get better. In the summer, we focus on getting rid of all the deadwood and add two top signings. Solid approach. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) So the question I have is, if we can't afford to spend big right now, how tf can Brentford? €30m on a striker in January when Toney's just come back, really? Their revenues have to be pittance compared to the top 6 Edited January 28 by est1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I’m still hoping that we sign another CM. But with FFP I can’t see it happening unless Traore and / or Chambers leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I'd be hopeful of Traore getting a loan to end of season at least. He will have options in Turkey for sure. Chambers though might be difficult. He'll not want to go on Loan to Championship. I'd be hopeful Hause can find a loan though, he badly needs one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) From David Ornstein's Transfer Guide this morning: On Jacob Ramsey Quote A player generating concrete interest is Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey, with the England Under-21 international catching the attention of numerous clubs in both England and abroad. Newcastle United have made an approach for the 22-year-old as they attempt to bolster Eddie Howe’s side, although unless they manage to achieve a significant sale, he is likely to be beyond reach. Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich are also among the sides to have made their admiration for Ramsey clear, so if Villa opt to let the academy graduate exit they will not be short of takers. That is a big ‘if’ because Ramsey has established himself as a key player and ideally this would not be a consideration. But funds must be raised before the end of June to stay compliant with profit and sustainability rules and that has alerted suitors, who believe offers above £50million will at least be contemplated. Should Villa decide to keep Ramsey, there are other ways in which the money could be found. On Jhon Duran Quote One way is via the sale of Jhon Duran. The Colombia striker joined Villa last January but has struggled for game time and goals. Unai Emery is not the biggest fan but Chelsea do like him. Duran, 20, is viewed by the west London team as possessing vast potential and they have held dialogue about possibly doing a deal — provided the price reduces to a level they deem fair. The prospect may be complicated by the ex-Chicago Fire forward being injured, however that does not completely rule out a switch as Duran would be seen mainly as a talent for the future.

sharkyvilla Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I did wonder if Bayern might come in for him and we would listen to offers. Not so much other PL teams though. The whole FFP thing is stupid in that we might have to look at this kind of deal to stay compliant when we are in no financial difficulty whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd already be loathe to sell him, but if we sold him to the likes of Tottenham or Newcastle I'd probably enter meltdown territory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally maybe but there is a derth of options atm; Definitely that would satisfy the home grown quota too. Complete sellers market and 100m seems to be the new asking price for anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scores PL goals and Brentford will want top dollar for him, I wouldn't think he will go for less than £90m and the clubs that will be in for him won't quibble over what is "spare change" for the likes of them.
