January 2014 Transfer Window

Then, something I can't work out. John Gudetti has just signed on loan with Stoke City. If Villa needed a striker, why not go in for him? Had a fantastic scoring record at Feynoord.

And, more importantly, he isn't Grant Holt.

This is probably why Villa haven't gone in for him. :/

The agent of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lewis Holtby says his client could make a return to former club Schalke this winter in a bid to play more regularly. The 23-year-old has struggled to make an impact since joining Spurs a year ago and his agent Marcus Noack has suggested a return to the Royal Blues in a bid to boost his dwindling hopes of appearing at the World Cup in the summer. "Lewis is desperate to play, which is why we are looking intensively for solutions," Noack tells the Bild newspaper. "Schalke is an interesting option."

Ugh, don't get why Sherwood doesn't like him. Would be sad to see him go. Seen some talk of it as a loan, but I dislike the idea of that even more.

This stuff with both Holtby and Capoue is so stupid. I don't really want Sherwood selling off anyone because he's going to be gone in the summer anyway.

:/ oh yeah hadn't thought of that, thanks andy :/

[Cymbols]

Grant Holt's signed. The answer to all of our problems I'm sure.

[brenchill]

Miroslav Klose to Villa is doing the rounds on social media.

Let's buy all the strikers

[Lineker]

Is the deal reported to be Klose?

[Summers]

Guidetti, Long and Jelavic all available.

We sign Grant Holt.

Smh.

Hope he somehow scores some goals.

[Matt]

If you actually are going for Klose that suggests Holt is just being brought in as 4th/5th choice, which makes it a bit more logical.

[stokeriño]

I have reason to believe that the signing of Klose will result in him scoring twice against Chelsea and then doing fuck all else.

Do not want.

[Nerf]

Cracking signing that, exactly what Chelsea need. They're basically ready to rock once they get a new striker in the summer.

[GoN_]

His last season was superb and he was starting to get to that same level in the last month. Really bad for us.

Really interested in seeing how will Chelsea's style change now.

[Lineker]

Chelsea must be kicking themselves for selling him in the first place.

[Gazz]

When are they loaning him back to Benfica ?
