myko Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Some rumours going round about Nakhi Wells from Bradford. Wouldn't mind that. Seriously what would be the point? Even if he could make the step up, which I very much doubt tbh, he isn't what we need at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Wells has been good this season but wouldn't represent a shift in transfer policy at all. Would ultimately be another lower-league player that will be celebrated as a masterstroke by some if he passes as an average player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danceoftheshamen Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I don't think we'll see anyone new in now until after the next loss against Arsenal and maybe even the Liverpool loss on the 29th.. So maybe a deadline day signing to try and lift us all before the WBA game?... Don't see why the club would bring someone in which would give everyone a lift (to a point depending on who they sign) then see us all deflated immediately with another two defeats. As for who? I have to say i have zero confidence that we'll bring in anyone decent. So miss the days when it was exciting being a Villa fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I don't see anyone saying lichaj was great but when we've signed 2 lbs who both struggle at this level I think its fair to question how well we've spent such a limited budget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My theory on this is that with Lichaj we knew we had a player that wasn't good enough. Bennett was highly thought of at Boro IIRC, no idea on Luna as I've never seen him play prior to Villa. I believe Lambert gambled that both Bennett and Luna's ceiling was to be higher than the proven low ceiling with Lichaj and Stevens. It hasn't worked thus far, but if you saw Joe Bennett play at Boro you'd probably agree it would be a punt worth taking.Much in the same vein as people talking up Forest and Derby players today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 "Lerner has Got to love shopping in pound land". He prefers the 99 cent stores HeyAnty why spend a £ when you can spend under a $? "Don't see why the club would bring someone in which would give everyone a lift (to a point depending on who they sign) then see us all deflated immediately with another two defeats". I see where you are coming from danceoftheshamen but other clubs may come in for any targets we may have if we wait and I would like to think a player coming in would think he could make a difference and would want to play a part in big games such as these.

The funny thing is that technically Bennett is actually a very good player...... well ok...... that might be an overstatement but he's certainly better than most of our players, the problem is he can't defend. But towards the end of last season he certainly look like he was improving. I think he and Luna can and will improve, it's just the fact we can't afford to take risks with defenders like this. Experience at the back is a luxury we have to afford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
