    Talking of made up names

    VILLA KEEN ON HOURIHANE

    Sounds like a knock off Harry Kane

    I just remember hearing the name mentioned when he was at Inter. I think he has scored like one goal in half a season at the time and we were all underwhelmed

    You're right of course, Jorderz ;ok

    However we have one forward gone and another forward (type) player on strike another striker out till march and our hopes being pinned on AC not getting injured. Hence I guess why many are getting fidgety..

    Don't disagree, just think almost every other set of fans probably feels the same, or at least those outside the top 6.

    We're far from alone, it isn't just our owners being useless, I think it's just a terribly difficult window to buy anybody for anything except a terribly inflated price.

    Conor Hourihane, Barnsley central midfielder, 5 goals and the most assists in the Champo, 11. Takes free kicks, penalties and corners. Also likes to take shots from outside the box

    Jose Fonte having medical tomorrow, after fee agreed between WHU and Saints, according to Jinxed on KUMB.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    ;hmm

    Isn't Jinxed rubbish at being right?
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Also, if it's true, what does it mean for Oxford ;hmm A loan, presumably
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Fonte??

    Why??
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    More to the point what does it mean for oggy as Reid has been performing a one man show in many games

    I can see Oxford being thought best to go out on loan for a bit more development - he was supposed to get that from the last loan but was mostly crocked. So we might imagine he hasn't made the progress that was anticipated.

    But do we really need another CB? We already have Ginge as our 'veteran'.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    A cynic (not me) would say that is what we do - have one or two positions in which we have a critical need and yet go and buy a player in another position on account of the fact that it's a "good deal" ;hmm
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Reid, Collins, Ogbonna and Oxford.

    Plus Kouyate and Nordtveit that can play there.

    Fonte's a decent player, but wholly unnecessary, IMO.

    What is it with Slav that he is obsessed with padding out the squad? that's what got us in trouble in the summer. He does know we were knocked out of Europa I hope and he is not recruiting for the later stages of a competition he is no longer in.

    Oxford needs some pitch time, if he is that much of a prospect then surely we can get into a place where we are safe from relegation and let him play. If he was able to start against Arsenal in Slavs first match then surely he can play a part this season.

  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    According to Ex on the radio show, Hogan, Fonte and Snodgrass are the most likely signings this month, but Slav is delaying the decision as to whether to sign Hogan ;hmm

    Maybe it'll come back and slap me in the face but I don't think for a second we're going to sign Fonte. Considering the amounts touted when Man Utd, Everton and Liverpool were linked with him, why would he suddenly want to come to us? I don't think we'll pay a 10M+ fee for a guy of his age and level. I also don't think he'd choose to come to us either.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Tbf, Fonte and Reid would be an amazing pairing.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Trying to take another point of view could we be thinking about him as he is a top premier league defender coupled with the fact that our defence has been pretty rubbish for nearly all this season, which cannot just be blamed on the lack of a right back?
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    IMO he's had his head turned (initially from Man Utd interest) a while ago and is looking for a last good move. I don't think we've got the appeal for it to be us so he'll get the move to somewhere like Man Utd or Everton (or apologize and stay with Southampton).
  • TwistandShoutTwistandShout
    Collins to Palace? Or Ogbonna to leave?

    Agree with Lukerz, Reid + Fonte would be immense
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Can't see Ogbonna going anywhere. Fonte is hardly better than Payet. As soon as he thought Man U or Liverpool were interested he pretty much downed tools.
  • alderzalderz
    Luke ;ok

    Fonte & Reid would guarantee clean sheets for the next 18 months imo

    Alderz, that makes them sound like laundrymen. ;biggrin
