VisionAlan Partridge It does seem to be very true what they say about one transfer leading to another.
This whole thing probably depends on Fred from Lyon.
Let's say all of this on this thread is true.
We want Luke Moore but there is no way Villa will sell him to us to leave themselves short, they want Defoe, but Spurs won't sell for the same reason.
So we are dependent on Fred going to Spurs so then Villa can sign Defoe so then we can sign Moore off Villa, meaning Cox probably then goes to Swindon.[/quo
Which is also why for a club like us any major deals are more likely to take place in the last few days of the transfer window. Whether people like it or not we are a fair way down the food chain when it comes to getting "proven premiership" performers. Even the names that are available Taylor,McFadden, King and Luke Moore we are talking around 5m plus for a fee (which although overpriced isn't necessarily an issue ) and between 30-40k a week in wages and there is little in any of those players (Taylor as a possible exception) that suggests they are whats required to come straight into our first team and help in a relegation fight.
No way would Villa get away with asking 5 million plus for Moore- 3-4 million is what you'd get for him. Theres no way he is on 30-40 grand either, he is not a first team regular.
