JohnCresswell Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Oh well. Nothing new then. Can't see us doing anything until the last week then, unless we've signed Rio Ferdinand in a hush hush deal that has to be kept quiet until we've lost agains Manchester United 7000 times.

TomIsADeftone Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Mirror has feck all, neither does the Mail. I think TBH, it's lazy journalism. It's easier to link West Ham to everybody, than try and find a link of substance for Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 We just might not be doing anything Tom. The newspapers get there info from the agents, the agents working for their clients. If its quiet it might be because we are not doing anything so no agents are involved with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattley Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Any news today in the newspapers or is it still worryingly quiet? ..... its between wham and spurs for young aparantly, hope not we should be in on that deal i think! Yeah would like to sign Young, just 8mill is a bit over priced in my eyes. Id say closer to 6mill. Players getting over priced again, typical of the Jan window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't O'Neill also said that he dislikes agents? and doesn't like to use them, perhaps he's taken to talking to clubs/manager directly instead of talking to money grabbing advisors. I can't believe we're not making any moves in the markets, and i think i'll have my beliefs vindicated pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 The newspapers don't get their info from the agents. They get it from their arse! At least 99.9% of it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I can't believe we're not making any moves in the markets, and i think i'll have my beliefs vindicated pretty soon. I hope your right, because i am starting to think we will do not a lot in this window. Wait and see i know but just cannot see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get most of it from agents. Most of the info printed is just that info from agents, doesn't mean the deal will happen. So many enquiries happen and nothing is followed up, the papers report that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were asking say 9-10mil+ then i wouldnt be in favour but for a player in the 5-7mil price range to not try and deal at 1mil extra for a young very talented player would be foolishs imo.

So many enquiries happen and nothing is followed up, the papers report that. and of course if an agent wants to toute a player then he'll tell the press that certain club is interested, regardless of wether the club are actually interested but getting his players name could lead to an oportinity because another manager may read it and decide to look into said player.

I don't think we will do enough business this window if any. If we do great i will be chuffed to bits. I am not going to appologise or lie about what i think or am worrying about.

JohnCresswell Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 It's my understanding the the players are expecting a few signings, including one 'name'. This is another reason why it's important people are brought it - it'llbe another blow against the fragile morale of these players we do have and haven't sold.
