Cracker1234 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Tiago Illori signed!!!! Sky sources understand Liverpool have reached agreement with Aston Villa for the season-long loan of Tiago Illori. The Premier League deal sheet has been submitted, and they have until 8pm to complete the paperwork. This makes zero sense. Ship Baker out on loan, sign a veteran defender, and then get another team's young centerback? We have Okore, Clark, Senderos, Richards, Lescott, and even Crespo now. Why would we need 7 center backs? Oh and I forgot Sanchez can play there too. I can't remember if I read this, heard or even dreamed this. Apparently when Baker signed a contract extention recently, he had it written in his contract if Villa sign another CB and any team comes in to loan him (Baker) Villa have to let him go out on loan. I just can't remember where I've got that from, but it's been stuck in my head a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 i can still see Berba signing Tiago Illori signed!!!! Any use? Can't comment on his footballing ability but he was good enough to give me a decent tp a week last Sunday #hadhiminthebackofmycab You really must have said something to him?! About all I said to him was "ok", "£23 please" and "cheers mate!" How the hell did you recognise him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Rumours on twitter that the paperwork is in for 'wonderkid' Allan Rodriguez de Souza. Another liverpool player? Part of Llori deal? No I think the person who tweeted had just got it mixed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorset77Villa Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Sky Sports just said we failed in our bid to get Berbatov in today. That's it all over fingers crossed Ayew can find a vein of form and start scoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 4-4-2 with Kozak and Sinclair upfront. They both have a knack for scoring, fancy that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted September 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2015 we've officially signed a whole new XI now: Bunn Crespo-Richards-Lescott-Amavi Traore-Gueye-Veretout-Sinclair Ayew-Gestede not sure we've ever done that within one summer before? Certainly interesting but the question is - is it a good change? I'll try to bite my tongue on the whole net spend thing for now so let's just do a quick comparison with that team above vs who we have sold/replaced/released/loaned Given Lowton Vlaar Baker Luna Delph Cleverley Herd Sylla Benteke Weimann Subs: Bent Helenius Tonev Stevens Burke Now, if those two teams faced each other who do you think would win? My opinion - the released team. Even if you argue it'd be close or narrow either way, we finished 17th last season. We needed more investment this summer and this wasn't good enough and was just a 'clever' way of disguising the fact we've stood still, at best. Does anyone really think the new XI would beat the released XI?! The main difference between the two lists would be how less dependent we are on 2 players. Sky Sports just said we failed in our bid to get Berbatov in today. That's it all over fingers crossed Ayew can find a vein of form and start scoring Its been noted here before but Berbatov can still be done.

Marley the Bognor Villan Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) BENNETT JOINS BOURNEMOUTH Some more news from the Midlands as left-back Joe Bennett has signed a one-year extension with Aston Villa and is now heading toBournemouth on loan until January 2016. Roll on January when we sign Embolo and a decent GK Edit: Link here http://www.skysports.com/transfer-centre/ Edited September 1, 2015 by Marley the Bognor Villan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Can't believe we didn't sign a striker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caddy Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Had a gut feeling we wouldn't be in for another CF, it would basically be an admission that Gestede and/or Ayew were wastes of money and I don't think RL would be too pleased with that. IMO, if we put Sinclair in front of Grealish/Gil/Traore then the goals will come. There's no way they can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 David Gold quote on Talk sport saying Adebayor "a very expensive player". Manager decided against it. Seems like he doesn't actually want to play football. Bullet dodged I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I'm also very disappointed that we haven't signed a striker, how we can let a £32.5m striker leave and replace him with a £6m Champinship striker is beyond me. We look strong at the back but our strikeforce leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 We've signed an entire squad to replace our old one. It's a strange feeling. Definitely won't see Baker again, Clark will stick around as a back up but I don't see him ever being first choice again. Obviously we all wanted someone up front but the loan market is still open right? If we don't loan I think we will acually see Sinclair as a 9 in order to get Grealish and Adama on the pitch together, and wait until January to see how settled Gestede and Ayew are. I'm not too worried about that, yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 If the idea is more goals are to come from midfield, then I'm not overly concerned by the lack of another striker coming in. Sinclair can play upfront anyway, while Ayew and Gestede settle in. If it all goes tits up, hopefully Lerner pulls his head out of his ass and buys a striker in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 3rd lowest net spend, but shrewd business. Benteke not anywhere replaced. Intresting times ahead. Very clever business by the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 So Kozak then?! Other options clearly didn't pan out. Tim obviously didn't see Austin fitting in for whatever reason. I think he's been fairly open in that he'd 'do something if someone becomes available'. That obviously didn't happen. Fair play to him for not selling us down the river for Adebayor. He claimed at the weekend that Adebayor was a friend. I think Adebayor will genuinely look back on it as a missed opportunity. At least he can do so from atop his pile of cash. If his attitude stinks or he wasn't up for it 1% then Sherwood did e right thing. I'm trying to be optimistic. The squad, on paper at least, looks far better than last season. It's just that the big goalscoring cog in the machine is either missing or an unknown commodity. It's certainly risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
