villa4europe Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Agree we should be looking at Maddison, cracking player by all accounts. Disagree though with your statement about buying the best local talent, why limit ourselves to local talent. Surely we should buy the best talent available wherever they may be from. We shouldn't limit ourselves, they aren't mutually exclusive. But as the biggest club in the region we really should be on top of Midlands from a scouting perspective, and I know for a fact that we aren't, and haven't been for a very long time. Yep completely agree, I know they picked him up at 11 but I'm surprised more isn't made out of berahino slipping through the net Aston manor must be the closest school to the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I can understand why were struggling to attract players right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calum Wilson could have been spotted as he grew up in Coventry as well. Edited January 25, 2016 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - although you can never have all the best talent from the local area (even Southampton don't manage that) we could do better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, we are not going to get them all as you say from local area.. But should improve for the future in headhunting more talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she left for the deluded, arrogant prick up the road with the famous dad she was after the finer things in life. I know he doesn't appreciate her or treat her right, and as much as she might still have feelings for you, what she really wants in a man is the holidays to Europe and fancy jewellery. And if she really wanted a brief fling, there would be lots of guys lining up to spend some time with her who wouldn't open up old wounds. You've been stung before, just let her go Yeh let her go... the slut! She's ugly as **** anyway, and has big hands! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty quiet for all teams, not just Villa. I count maybe ten transfers of note in the entire league and nothing bigger then Shelvey at £12m. Maybe it will all kick off final day but I'm not holding much hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How positive are we that we are not getting the best potential kids and just not developing them properly to meet their potential? We have had several hyped youngsters who haven't gone on to meet the hype and we supposedly have some good kids in the academy now (Andre Green, Easah Suliman etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Remy and Benteke on loan??.............stop it. Joking apart, Ben Yidder would be a good signing. IF we did go down, then i think signings like Roofe and Bamford would be good long term signings.Not sure many of our current squad would attract many bids from more attractive clubs than Villa tbh.

If the club's board wanted to try and stay in the premier league or hell even keep Garde around then obviously they would spend big this window. The fact that they haven't tells you all you need to know about their plans. So far anyway. about a week left....

villa4europe Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The problem with spending big is that if we went down we'd be absolutely **** so they aren't going to risk it We needed this form over the Christmas games to give us a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 We don't need to spend big just a couple of decent loans will do, as long as one of them is a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
