    The worst case scenario for a loan signing is that he does play, he doesn't positively influence our finishing position and he takes valuable minutes from one of our players or a youth player getting an opportunity to make the step up So you don’t trust Gerrard to play the right players? That reply is just stupid as there is nothing in what I said to suggest that. Try playing the ball and not the player. Good night, no point in continuing this discussion

    We have only played 7 games under this manager. It is clearly very different to the games under the previous manager. P7W4. the losses against City, Liverpool and Chelsea. We need to give Gerrard time with these players and equally we need to give our players time with Gerrard. It would be counterproductive to add a loan player in during Jan which would possibly put the brakes on the development of our players. We have enough attacking players even taking the AFCON into account to see us through to the summer. The focus should be in FB and CB. Ideally we could get Axel back to Utd and put our time and effort into a Villa player and bring in much needed backup for Targett.

    Yet is the key word. If you believe it is a 'yet' then why would we want to get a loan player in which would only reduce the playing time of one of our players, that is with the massive assumption that a loan player would hit the ground running
  4. Peter Griffin
    Years of watching football and the transfer market and seeing how long players take to adjust to a new club. Also, having an understanding of the Jan transfer window helps and appreciating that clubs do not like to sell their better players and in particular, attacking players are very difficult to buy or loan. To think we can enter the loan market and get attacking players that are better than either Ollie or Ings and that we can attract them to Villa and they will settle in and hit the ground running is fantasy stuff

    We have Ings, Ollie, Buendia, Bailey plus other attacking options and can promote Archer and bring back Wes if we want. Gerrard needs to work with what he has and show he can get them functioning properly and not be running to the cookie jar.
  6. Peter Griffin
    There is no chance of getting an attacking loan player that is fit, up to speed and can slot into our team immediately
  7. Peter Griffin
    It would make sense to give Bailey an opportunity to play and also see how Ings and Oliie adapt to Gerrard's style of play. He has only been at Villa for 7 games. If we were to buy more attacking players how long would we give them before writing them off? End of Jan / mid Feb?

    I don't think he bottled it, Mings just isn't good enough against the better strikers and better play. He has his level

    Looks like the Zoom connection didn't work for Gerrard to dial in for the half time team talk
  10. Peter Griffin
    Good first half. We are playing well. |Hopefully the Zoom team talk works
  11. Peter Griffin
    Targett looking much more like the player last season than the one at the start of this season
  12. Peter Griffin
    He looked really good when he played against Chelsea last time but unfortunately got injured, hopefully we will prove himself today
  13. Peter Griffin
    Merson will love that
  14. Peter Griffin
    Sky today for this one as opposed to Amazon
  15. Peter Griffin
    I don't think Brighton do wiins
  16. Peter Griffin
    Is it great minds think alike or fools seldom differ?
  17. Peter Griffin
    I would take that now
  18. Peter Griffin
    He needed to beat Toon when they played them to have a chance and they were up against 10 men for over half the game. They would be level with Watford now if they hadn't messed up that game. I agree, they do look doomed now
  19. Peter Griffin
    Get in. City 5-3. Mad game
  20. Peter Griffin
    I agree, If there is ever an opportunity to strengthen and we have the cash and it is within FFP we should do it. This will give Purslow the continuous improvement he said he wanted. Furthermore, each place higher we can finish in the league is worth about 3.6m.
  21. Peter Griffin
    You have to say that Arteta is a cut above the other two though
  22. Peter Griffin
    I agree, we may be looking for better quality in a year's time but extending his contract gives us much needed backup without forcing us into the market. We can then hopefully invest in a 6 and a LB before replacing Hause
  23. Peter Griffin
    Surely that depends on what the squad is like when Klopp leaves. Liverpool has a lot of high profile players in their late twenties. If they do not have replacements coming through for thee players in the next few years then Liverpool will have no choice but to accept a rebuild regardless who their next manager may be
  24. Peter Griffin
    We have an option to extend his contract by a year
  25. Peter Griffin
    If any manager leaves Villa for a job with a bigger club the same applies, there is nothing unique to Gerrard with that.
