BlueLyon 9,359 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Moussa Sissoko would be great buy. Not expensive, but still realy class. He is getting into french starting eleven. Great on holding the ball, passing, can defend, but can also go forward. Seeing at options available, Sissoko looks one of the best.Overal, we should look more into french league players, we alsways had great results from them (Drogba, Anelka, Malouda, Essien, Hazard,...)

Strike 7,492 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Ideally i hope we get- Demba Ba or Klaas Jan Huntelaar for backup- Theo Walcott to replace Danny- Fellaini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 @The Skipper, I'm intrigued into knowing why you want Darren Bent. He is rather quick and is a good finisher but isn't he at the level of say Jermain Defoe? Hasn't he had injury problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 @The Skipper, I'm intrigued into knowing why you want Darren Bent. He is rather quick and is a good finisher but isn't he at the level of say Jermain Defoe? Hasn't he had injury problems?Exactly for the reasons you've stated. Bent is currently having a row with his manager at Villa and is not being played due to Benteke's good form (ideally if I was Paul Lambert I'd play both) so he would come at a relatively cheap price. Putting him in the Defoe level bracket is just about right too - that's not a bad thing however. Since we've currently only got Sturridge and Torres as our strikers and we look a little bit light upfront (especially as Sturridge seems to be going now) Darren Bent would be an ideal addition to the squad. He's English (would replace Sturrridge as a HG), he's got a knack for scoring goals, he's a pretty big unit but still has very decent pace - and his price wouldn't be that excessive. If we could get him in for around £10m it would be good business by the club but I doubt the club are that sensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Bent, lmao. I actually would not have minded that a couple years ago, but a player that can't even start for Villa? please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we should buy him to become our number 1 striker - don't know why it's so funny to you. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason we could ever sign him would be because of homegrown rule like Turnbull, nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zola kinda blue 89 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Danny story is on the BBC website now, so that looks close to happening!http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20783179Lets also not forget, that he takes an English spot in our otherwise small squad as it is.So, unless we do have someone lined up pretty quick, we are left with Torres who everyone is pretty much fed up with!So, come Jan 1st, we will have 1 striker, and 2 proper midfielders (ramires and lamps, not counting the kids or Oscar etc)New arrivals need time to settle in as wellPlan much?!

We Hate Scouse 10,327 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 £12m isnt bad for him...It's terrible when you consider what they paid for Carroll, Henderson and Downing. We should've held out for more. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 If we sign a striker, I'm confident it'll be Bony or someone allot 'smaller' than Falcao.Regardless whether we can activate his transfer release clause or not, I highly doubt he's the sort of player to just leave his team half way through the season, especially when they're in the position they're in.

Leif 6,006 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Also, regarding the Moutinho rumours - he won't be leaving in January. It's really that simple. Porto are refusing it. He'll likely join either Tottenham or some other nearly 'top' side in the Summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atletico are hardly going to win the Spanish league and I don't think he would risk turning down a big move in case that or any other club doesn't come in for him in the summer.Everything will depend on whether we are prepared to fork out to get him.
