Popular Post chrisvilla4 Posted August 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2016 We really are in need of Gareth Barry or someone similar. An old wise head in midfield to keep hold of the ball and give the defence a break and the strikers chance to move. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Spot on theboyangel. I have wanted us to prioritise a RB this summer from the start. Hutton and Richards are both terrible defenders and if we want to improve should be nowhere near the first team. Playing them in defence is like having loose cannons on a ship blowing holes in itself. I am thinking we need another CB as well, as if we suffer an injury to Elphick or Baker then we are back to playing the duffers again.

Burnley had Joey Barton last year and he was instrumental in their promotion by all accounts, we need someone of similar standard (but perhaps not such an arse). GB would be perfect if we could get him in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa_shere Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I wouldn't mind us signing Peter Odemwinge, think he's available on a free and offers something up top and could easily do the job in the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaCas Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 We need six minimum including a complete new midfield. If any more go, which they should, we need to bring in replacements for them also. Priorities for me are a solid CM who would give us a base to play from and a proper mobile target man for Ayew and McCormack to work around. The only positive to draw from last night is that DrX saw first hand that major change is needed - the chances of six coming in mind seem very unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are broken men. Richards however is a lost cause. If I were Dr Tony, I would offer Steve Peters a Rooney-level salary for the next six months.

villaglint Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Ha he did a great job with England at the Euros this summer! I think incineration is the only cure for these mental ills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night's defeat has really got to me, so disappointed and angry with it. I booked tickets for the Rotherham game last night, just before kick off, #fail. Me too. We'll win that I think. Probably another stinker, but I think we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire the optimism, but nah. This team cannot keep clean sheets and will collapse when it lets a goal in, and people like Ayew will swan around thinking he's too good for it all. 0-3. Too many signings needed, too many players needed to get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted August 11, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2016 Need two solid experienced centre midfielders. Gardner is shite. Tish is young and isn't ready. Barry and Jedinack would be awesome. Might be slow but they can play with their heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new goalkeeper is dodgy. We don't have a decent right back. We need a central defender, midfielder who can tackle, midfielder who can create and another striker. That's five before we consider injuries to players which would mean the knobheads return to the team. Its not just the players - we play a formation that has failed us for five years now but this year stretched it so that full backs have no protection and the central midfield look even more lost. We are far more away from three signings to even being even even mid table. We haven't won in six months for goodness sake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Hoping to see some movement today. Need these players in before the game on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked very good apart from that one mistake. These things happen. Though, agree with the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
