January transfers; rumours and news

From the Sunday People

Stoke are eyeing a £12m deal for Emmanuel Riviere and Kieran Trippier.

Mark Hughes has hit a snag in his push for French U21 international Riviere - with Monaco wanting a straight £7m cash.He wants to take the 23-year-old on loan for the season - but Monaco want a commitment that the deal will be made permanent.

That's holding the deal up, but with Kenwyne Jones ready to be shipped out for refusing to play against Liverpool, Sparky needs to act fast.

He missed out on Shane Long last week and is hoping for a compromise.

A deal for England U21 defender Trippier is another move that's proving a test, with Newcastle and WBA also in the hunt for the former Man City right-back.

With Burnley aiming for promotion, Sean Dyche wants to keep him until the summer.Burnley have slapped a £5m valuation on the highly-rated young defender who has been an impressive performer this season.

I see we are being linked with Alan Hutton. I remember wanting him a couple of years back but I'm not sure now. Am I right in thinking he is RB?

 

[jowlermonkey]

Just googled him a right back plays for Aston Villa and Scotland age 29.

 

[stoke-th97]

He is a RB, can also play CB quite well.

 

[Smithers]

I just though Cameron was doing well.

Here is another one.

Stoke City have put in a £5m bid for Monaco striker Emmanuel Riviere, 23.

Plays for Fulham. Remember his goal against us where he kicked it from the half way line beating Sorensen!

[Smithers]

Not creative enough for me and a bit of a brute

Cattermole = the reincarnation of Eddie Clamp, a reet nasty bugger.

Yes please

 

[ProudPotter]

Cattermole.....no thanks. He's a liability with his record of red cards. We need to maintain 11 players on the pitch for 90 minutes.

And he was our nasty bugger .................. and our Stan's bodyguard

Charlie Adam named Alan Hutton is his Fantasy Football League team!

Also a load of other dodgy characters. Hutton can't get in the Villa team. Saying that Ireland could not either

Agreed. We want 11 players on pitch for the whole game.

 

[Pottermouth 328]

At least Cattermole can tackle and pass a ball, Sunderland fans love him for that. One massive problem is the red and yellow cards are far too frequent.
Might be worth a shout but how much truth is there in this story?

 

[bornagain]

Unfortunately true but in my opinion, every (successful) team needs a nasty midfield enforcer.
