Zatman Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 we have 2 beanpole strikers who are not good enough for this level so we should buy another beanpole striker who has scored double figures twice in 11 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I would love to see some highlights of that game, if such a thing exists . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I was there. His goals were great, he has a really good instinct of being in the right place at the right time. But his general play was pretty pathetic to be honest, especially against a bunch on kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 If he has the ability to be in the right place at the right time, and also possesses the ability to convert a decent percentage of the chances (Bent converted about 1 in 6, I think), I honestly couldn't be bothered about his general play. That alone makes him a nuisance, and the other team must keep that in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a fair few goalkeepers in the prem who would be an improvement on Guzan. Speronni is not one of them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 How about trying to get Andrej Kramaric (on loan?) from Leicester ? Turned down Chelsea for 1st team football but has only played 4 games this season. A different option upfront. Struggling to think of realistic targets for January given our position.

Adbo9 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I think we should buy a delorean, hit it to 88 and fly back to the early 90s and bring back with us Alan Shearer, Les Ferdinand, Roy Keane, David Ginola, Sol Campbell, Tim Flowers, Paolo Maldini and Efan Ekoku................

Bloody hell we've let our standards slip this year! He was decent. Worked hard scored a couple but far from outstanding! He deserves a chance though and is definitely more mobile and seems more willing to graft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfctom89 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I'd enquire about David ospina , debuchy or Joel Campbell. If we bug arsene wenger enough he might give us one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 He wants to be France's number one right-back in time for the European Championships. No way is he going to come to a crap team 20th in the table and cut adrift. The rest of the French national team, apart from Lloris, play for teams in the Champions League. A variety of top European teams will be more than happy to take Debuchy. People are absolutely dreaming about the quality of players we're going to be able to attract. Anyone who comes is basically guaranteed to be playing in the Championship next season. Jedinak, Kramaric - these are actual possibilities. Ospina, Campbell, Debuchy - these players can play for teams in the Champions League. It's never ever ever going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 http://www.caughtoffside.com/2015/12/07/chima-akas-aston-villa-villains-eyeing-nigeria-international/ Quote Aston Villa are understood to be monitoring Nigeria left-back Chima Akas ahead of the January transfer window, with the player confirming he’s looking for a move. The full-back has seen his reputation transformed over the last 12 months after breaking into the Super Eagles’ first team and becoming a key player under new coach Sunday Oliseh. However, he was impotent to prevent his club side, Port Harcourt-based Sharks FC, dropping out of the Nigerian Premier League. Upon confirmation of their relegation, Akas—who has unseated AS Monaco’s Elderson Echiejile in Nigeria’s starting XI—revealed that he is looking for a move away from the club. “I will definitely not play in the NNL next season. There are interests from some NPFL teams, but I am keeping the names until there is a deal,” Akas said, as per African Football. “Relegation of teams is part of football, though nobody wants to taste it. I feel bad that my team, Sharks got relegated, but it was beyond my power to stop it.” Caught Offside’s sources understand that Villa are considering Akas as a potential solution to their problem left-back spot. The Villains invested in the problem position during the summer when they signed Jordan Amavi, but a knee injury has prematurely ended the former OGC Nice man’s season.

Im not sure Debuchy will be that highly sought after, he was playing for Newcastle not too long ago and is 31 now though I wouldnt waste our last loan on a right back as Hutton could do us over until summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't get a game so he needs to be playing its nothing to do with showing his quality or anything long term it's showing your fit and in form. Other teams might go in for him but if we were his only option in the PL there's no reason he wouldn't come IMO. The same goes for a few others not currently playing in their 1st teams. The only thing that'll stop us signing loan players is competition not our league position. Convincing people to come full time may be a trickier issue though.
