The January Transfer Window

[James Bond's body double]

Aston Villa are expected to complete the signing of Nottingham Forest captain Henri Lansbury by the end of Friday.

Forest rejected an offer from fierce rivals Derby County for the 26-year-old midfielder earlier in January.

The Rams have retained their interest in the former Arsenal player, for whom they made a bid of about £2.5m.

But Villa are believed to have offered about £3.5m for Lansbury, who is out of contract in the summer.

And 40k a week!!

Wednesday have a 9 million bid for Rhodes rejected apparently.

Lansbury for £3mil is a good deal for Villa! Great buy.

I wonder if we were ever in for him as the No 10.

News?

Ha. No - just hoping that IF Weds did land Rhodes, that they've missed the cut off for him to be involved tomorrow.

Dam. That was the most exciting thing I've seen in this window to date - sad eh!

Can see the Rhodes saga rattling on till the end of Jan. Boro don't need to sell him so can just hold out for the best price.

Not only that, judging from the shenanigans over his transfer to Boro, he has the type of agent that prefers to do a deal on the last day of the window.

I think the two are pretty closely related!!

IF we were to win tomorrow again v Cardiff, the gap to Sheff Weds would be so great that I'd welcome them landing him to help beat others.

Would have loved to get him in here

Seems an absolute TOSSPOT. No thanks.

 

[Whoislloydy]

Me too and i can't believe we passed him up!

I am with you he would have been the ideal person to fill the no 10 role despite any comments as to being a Billy Big B......s. The only negative is the reported £40k per week wages.

Despite our league position, players play football for money and Aston Village can offer a lot more than we can, sadly.

Might be best financially in the short term but Villa are currently 13th in the league, ten points off a play off spot and it'll be hard for them to work their way into one. If we finish where most hope / expect us to this season than chances are we'll be able to be the better choice in the long term.
