Final Sunday transfer window round up – Beye

The transfer window closes on Monday and I think it is very unlikely we will see any links in or out of Villa Park in the Sunday papers. Of course if there are any be assured they will appear here.
One piece of loan news that Shane Lowry has gone to Leeds until the 31st March

Transfer window closing, thoughts and ideas

The Transfer window closes Monday February 1st at 17:00
For all teams it has been a very quiet window, likely to be due to the current economic climate and frankly the bonkers world of football finance.
For Villa therefore it has also been a very quiet window with only Craig Gardner leaving for Blues and remarkable for [...]

Gardner joins the wastelands at St Andrews

The Birmingham Mail have just reported that Craig Gardner has joined the Blues for around £3.5m.
Good luck to Craig there, he will need it as an ex Villan and passionate Villa fan, any slip up will be over analysed and he will be blamed more than most.
I loved Craig’s attitude on the pitch but frankly [...]

Weekend Transfer Links – Gardner bid rejected

As you may be aware, Newsnow has now been blocked to linking to a few of the papers (please see the ‘right to link’ image on the left of this blog), thus a lot of the Sunday speculation does not get publicised. So therefore please keep checking this post for the weekend updates as they [...]

Carew swap for Keane, sounds good.

As I posted last month a Carew swap for Robbie Keane makes sense for all parties at this stage.
Robbie Keane is the type of player we have wanted at Villa since MON has been at the club and Carew is starting to give the appearance of wonderlust again.
So today the Daily Star has published speculation [...]

Players in and out – Sunday Transfer round up

“We are hoping to get a couple of players in because it is a long season ahead of us.”
This quote is from MON on Sky Sports today which for me is a contrast to the quotes he gave a few weeks ago.

“I wouldn’t see at this minute us being active in bringing players in January. [...]

Sunday Transfer rumours and made up stories

First off the block, the NOTW linking us with a defender – Marcel Schafer from Wolfsburg for £8m after we sent to scouts to recent games. Right then, tell me the strongest part of our team and the place we need no cover. Made up would you reckon ? By the way he is a [...]

Kenwyne Jones to Villa makes perfect sense

It is no surprise to me to see Kenwyne Jones being linked to a move to Villa. You only have to look at him to see he ticks a lot of the MON boxes including the fact at times he can be very inconsistent (see John Carew).
He has pace, power, strength and can perform either [...]

Sunday Transfer rumour round up

This will be updated as the day goes on, to start with in the Mirror they are saying we will not be interested in any moves after this quote from MON
“I wouldn’t see at this minute us being active in bringing players in January. Things change, but as we speak I don’t think we will [...]

Reflections on the Transfer Window

As the transfer window opened in May I posted the following two comments
What we require to push on
Back again and lets look at the future
I got some things right but I over estimated how much we would have to spend in this window.
So how do we reflect on this window.
Lets get the negative out of [...]
