Richard Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Agree, but if he returns to Everton we may get Distin. - You can forget Distin too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Simon Kjaer? 23, plays in Germany. A decent CB by all accounts. Linked with Newcastle so no reason we can't make a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honest_bertie Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I don't know mate? Not sure if he's cup tied even? don't think he is cup tied in either Capitol or FA cups, looking at the match report of Charlton v Barnsley (Capitol 1 Cup), which they lost, he didn't feature at all so maybe he'll be free to play against Bradford.

hippo Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Distin is only contracted until the summer at Everton. He can also fill in @ LB. He's not the greatest player in the world, but given he can stand in for 2 of our problem positions, and would cost us next to nothing. I think its feasible. Lets wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie09 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Agree, but if he returns to Everton we may get Distin. - More likely Heitinga if it's any Everton defender. Not saying it will happen but he seems more likely to leave Goodison than Distin. Edited January 2, 2013 by Robbie09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 More likely Heitinga if it's any Everton defender. Not saying it will happen but he seems to be less in favour than Distin. Watched Distin in a game the other night. He played pretty well for an old un ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanwesty88 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Would anyone take any MLS players on a short term loan? I'd certainly take Tim Cahill/Robbie Keane/Landon Donovan - heck I'd take all 3 right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Landon Donovan would give Gervinho's forehead a run for its money I'd take him on Loan definitely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Jonno Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Richard are you ruling these out due to Lambert transfer policy in the summer ? Or have you been told specifically what kind of policy we are looking to have regarding activity this window ? Id be somewhat disappointed if we wasnt to bring in a couple of slightly older players, who have had a few seasons in the top flight, not necessarily in England, just someone who can give valuable instruction to the younger lads, calming influence, know what to do and when to do things to get the result you need.

Jonno, I am just saying no to PLAYERS I would absolutely guarantee we will not be interested in, I'm not making a comment on any transfer policy we may or may not have this January.

HalfTimePost Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Yes please to Simon Kjaer, him and Kvist from the Denmark national team. That would be defence / defensive midfield sorted imo. Guzan Vlaar Kjaer Kvist Westwood Benteke Is a decent spine to a team, something for us to build from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 While I think the likes of Stephens are good signings for the future I'm not sure they are the sort of players that we can rely on to make sure we stay up. Westwood, Lowton and at times bennet all show signs of potential but none of them are really performing at a level that's good enough right now. Now I'm 100% positive by the time their villa career finishes everyone will say they were good signings and well worth the money but right now premiership survival is the key. Happy to sign someone like Stephens but I'd hope it would be balanced out with players who will come and make an immediate impact. I may be wrong and Stephens will be immense from the start but so far only Benteke and to some extent Vlaar are signings that have made a big impact on this team.

Richard Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Why? Because I do not believe for one minute that these players are ones that we are looking at "these are not the players you are looking for" said in a Obe Wan way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I have a feeling that Lambert is going to keep the majority of his signings young I think 26-27 is about as old as he's going to go, for example the rumour catching a little bit of speed on Twitter with Kelvin Leerdam coming here, he's 22. Dale Stephens is 23. I don't think many if any of our signings will be "old" players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
