Transfer Rumours The “What the F**k’s the point in another transfer window thread- Winter 2025 Transfer thread

The club is not being ran very well now is it.

All seems a bit chaotic. Everything is last minute.com

 

Fly him over there. Worst case scenario is that he doesn't sign for them and the plane back gets delayed until Thursday

 

Rumours suggest offers for Targett. We can't keep both him and Kelly leave

 

It’s just odd. What on earth is Mitchell doing? Is Eales still at the club?

 

Apparently we have offers on the table for Kelly, Targett, Trippier and Longstaff. None of which have been rejected. Rumours that Howe is angry about this and is arguing that we should be keeping them all. He's said to be especially vehement in his response to the idea of Trippier going.

 

I think Howe is the issue here. He doesn’t want to sell them because of last seasons injury crisis.

 

Yeah I don’t get the feeling Howe is happy here anymore. I don’t think he’ll be boss much longer.

Eitehr way it’s a bit of a shambles. Trippier looks dreadful every time he comes on, yet he’s now the regular 60 minute change. Burn is arse, as is Schar. Yesterday Fulham’s two subs combined for the winner. Ours (Trippier, Willock and Osula) looked like Championship plodders.

Villa have signed three more players funded by Duran, of course, but we’re going into a pivotal three months arguing about keeping ****ing Targett! There’s something not right at the club. How we don’t have a new CEO is ****ing bizarre.

 

I don't think anyone can blame EH. If the club is telling him we can't sign players this January then he has to keep these players. We all want those 4 gone but on the premise they are upgraded. If they are not going to be then we have to keep them.

 

The club is more important than Eddie Howe and if Mitchell or Eales decides that the right course of action is to sell at least 2 of them that’s what should happen.

Howe should accept that. He’s a very selfish man if not.

 

Why? Targett never plays, Trippier is dreadful and we have Krafth back soon. Miley is well ahead of Longstaff. Botman should be starting with Burn on the bench so what’s the use of Kelly?

Howe keeps hold of players until they’re worthless. That said, how the bollocks we haven’t got a pot to piss in after the Guehi bids, selling Almiron, etc, is a complete mystery.

 

What a load of bollox.

Let's say they sell both Targett and Kelly.

Injury happens to Hall so we play Burn at left back
Schar gets sent off and gets a 3 match ban

Now what?

 

Based on that if we're not replacing some of them they can't be sold as we won't have a squad. 3 of those players were on the bench yesterday and 2 of them came off the bench.

 

Tino lb, Krafth rb. Or - and here’s an outrageous idea - we buy a player that strengthens the team for the first time in a year and a half!

 

I think it's a case of in fighting or something..Some kind of power struggle going on.

 

Then go back and read my post that you originally responded to because your outrageous idea was addressed

 

Finances come first my dear friend. And if we need to sell for the greater good we sell.

And there is no guarantee those events happen anyways.

 

Finances indeed to come first but should not come at the detriment of the squad.

EH should be up in arms as he'll be the one sacked if it all goes to **** on the pitch.

We all grumbled yesterday when Trippier came on and when Kelly came on but if we hadn't have brought those on who would have come on?

 

Botman and Miley. For Burn and Another.

We needed a goal and put Osula on at 87 minutes.

 

Roly wanting Miggy back. I never thought I’d read that.

 

Hall is knackered. Tino was fairly poor. EH wanted fresh full backs.

Botman can't play at left back and god help us if I see burn back at left back. Wed have got slaughtered.
