January Transfer Window (Confirmed Signings And Rumours))

[HangTheDJ]

So why the f*ck did villa not just give MON money to spend after finishing 6th 3 seasons in a row. "Let me sign a defender and 1 proven goalscorer and we can push on.""Nah that's cool, you might aswell bounce"

Because he wasn't capable/willing of the deadwood. Randy said before you get funds they need to go. He threw his toys out of the pram.

lol @ thinking MON didn't have the chance to buy a proven striker and defender

He spent £10m on Curtis DaviesAnd the January when we were 4th (before going 7 points clear of Arse in Feb) and needed a forward to cover the injured Carew and nackered Gabby he turned up with Emile Ivanhoe Heskey on a deal until his 35th birthday at 65k a week.

£24m :D :D :lol:This is great for Spurs. We have no chance of signing Carroll now if Darren Bent goes for that much.

The way I see it had he actually been allowed to sign a goalscorer, one of the strikers already on the team woulda been pushed out anyway simply cos they wouldn't have been playing.You don't sell a player then bring in a player, what if that transfer dont go through? Villa coulda been sat with Gabby and Heskey up front, with no cover at all had MON agreed to it.

I swear its 10m plus Ireland?/Dunno why people are laughing about the price tbh, he's a proven goalscorer and has the potential to score 20+ goals for Villa

[LS]

Why are people saying 24 mil for Bent?

[nemesis]

Why are people saying 24 mil for Bent?

the fee could rise to 24 million depending on appearances etc....Bent is one of those strikers that polarizes people....its obvious he knows where the goal is BUT..........one of the few proven genuine English 20 goal a season players that can play as a lone striker..... outside of this he brings not much else to the table in my opiniongood deal for villa

[LS]

If liverpool sign Suarez and we are left with Crouch, i give up with this sh*t./Heard we have a sell on cause with Bent, good sh*t lol

[nemesis]

Crouch will never be "that guy" ...... whatever potential he had has gone

[LS]

Don't need to tell us mate, we all know.

[FANTA]

good signing for Villa, proven goalscorer although a tad limited in his approach playfee is just about right if you consider his moves before etcinteresting to see what happens with Sunderland now. pretty sure Wellbeck will come back so they'll be left with Gyan and Fraizer Campbell?damn.

[nemesis]

Don't need to tell us mate, we all know.

be thankful that you aint got Carlton Cole as your main striker....smh

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Sick goalscorerWill thrive off Young, Albrighton, Downings delivery tbh ut yeah other then that he doesnt offer muchJust means Bruce has more of a reason to play Welbeck without causing problems with dropping Bent maybe theyl loan Vela?

Darren Bent is a goalscorer, but it's interesting to note that he's only assisted one goal in the Premier League since joining Sunderland.

The only PL clubs Darren Bent has played against without scoring are Blackpool, Reading, Sheff Utd, Watford & WBA. Unfashionable.

[Rsonist]

I'd have Cole over Crouch tbh.

LMFAO

Darren Bent is a good signing.Yes the fee is laughable but Villa this season are laughable too.Makes you wonder why O'Neill was pushed out the door...

Money was never gone, our wage to revenue percentage was similar to Pompey's. MON was told he needed to shift the Beye, Shorey, Sidwell, Davies, one of Carew or Heskey types out who were earning like £15m a season between them.Now a few of them are gone Randy releases more funds. We've spent £23m already this window (if this comes off) and Adam and a left back will be pursued too.Go back to the thread when MON went, I said it'd happen... Randy was always the one Villa fans backed, not Martin.

O'Neill would have moved them on that window or this tho...

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Cole averages a goal nearly every 4 games for West Ham Crouch 1 in 6 for Totty...Taken into account the level of service aswel...

[Rsonist]

Crouch has one league goal this season and we almost into February...f*ck the mutant c*nt.

[Michel Kane]

I'm sure Redknapp only plays him to make VDV look good, lol.

[FANTA]

fee could rise to £24M?English players and their valuations>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Michel Kane]

It's not an English thing, it's a domestic thing.Transfer fees between native players in their domestic leagues will always be inflated. (Slightly dependent on the profile of said player too.)
