Open Transfer Deadline/Managerial Speculation Thread

Guess Bob realized he wasn’t up to Villa standards.

that the Moyes to Villa talk was hyped up rubbish!

I know we don’t have much forward depth, but he seems like someone another team could take a flyer on, and someone we could do without. (Perhaps file under: wishful thinking)

has started ridiculously early.

“Sky Sports report that Liverpool striker Ryan Babel is in a helicopter heading to Tottenham as we speak (or write, or tweet or whatever).”

1) What a fantastic rumor to have
2) Who uses helicopters anymore?

City ditching Adebayor, Spurs signing Babel, and Liverpool signing Carlton Cole? Ferguson, Ancelotti, and Wenger are all on a beach somewhere with a pina colada having a laugh at how easy Mancini, Redknapp, and Hodgson make their jobs.

Who knows, if Stephen Ireland gets hurt again he might even win a few more games.

They are saying that Wolves bought Marcus Bent because they are selling Kevin Doyle to Aston Villa. Yes please!

And the only reliable gossip is about lower-league teams.

Apparently Wesley Sneijder is running around Manchester, though. And not in a helicopter.

I must say this is a surprise.

Holy moly.

Chilean international striker Jean Beausejour has just been shown arriving at St Andrews on his way to sign his contract confirming his arrival from Club America.

“Gus Poyet Aston Villa bound? My mate works for his agents and Villa have made enquiries”
The Uruguayan has been a busy boy chasing players for Brighton on transfer deadline day… but stranger things have happened (Joe Kinnear at Newcastle for one)

on a loan deal.

van der Vaart? Mauro Zarate?

Shockingly.

because I want to see if anything more filters through…

can I have a drum-roll please… Oxford United have signed Luton Town striker Tom Craddock for an undisclosed fee.

And Sunderland spent 13 on Gyan? I know VDV isn’t what he used to be, but golly…
