jacketspuds Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Definitely need another striker with the ACON coming up, as well as the fact that Gabby is worse than useless. Midfield wise we are also pretty awful so hopefully there will be another signing alongside Lansbury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 We do need a striker and I think Bruce wants one. He is not resting McCormack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I agree about a striker but we need a loan deal. Rhodes is the perfect answer, you would think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 When we get back to the Premier League, Trippier at right back needs to be first signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Just one player who, when the opposition up the tempo, will stand up to it and not shit the bad. Just one. That is all I ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Bruce better beg Pochettino for a loan signing or 2. Onomah would be a welcome addition but N'koudou looks class. There are probably better players in spurs 3rd team that would improve Villa. The difference being a well run club makes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Looks like we need 5 new midfielders not two. Westwood, Gardner, Tshibola, Bacuna, Jedinak are not going to get us anywhere. All varying degrees of rubbish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacuna is a bit of a passenger in midfield, would be better placed at right back to prevent the liability that is Alan Hutton. Agree with Westwood and Gardner, very poor players. Two new midfielders are desperately needed. If Lansbury signs this week it will make such a difference to our overall team play. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 It was a fairly disciplined display to be fair, about all we could have wished for. Just a shame we couldn't challenge a weaker Spurs team a little more really. If Kane, Alli, Eriksen & Dembele had been playing together it would have been embarrassing. Tshibola definitely deserves to play ahead of Westwood and Gardner and should be kept on, at least for his young age and potential. We just don't pass the ball (well) and haven't done so for years to be honest, it's always frustrating watching us try to play. Midfield has been our weakest area for so long and desperately needs strengthening. We lack creativity and don't offer enough of a goal threat. I am happy with the Chester & Baker partnership in defence though and the new keeper looked fairly assured today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Keeper is now (temporarily) sorted. Defensively we could do with a Right Back, but it's not actually urgent. Midfield...three maybe four signings needed?! Tish, Westwood, Gardner then Jedinak is my current pecking order and that's necessity not choice. Attack... need a striker alongside McCormack. I'm still confident he'll come good with some service and a run of games. But I think our playoff chances hang by a thread that will probably not survive January.

Because one is a centre forward capable of playing on his own, the other a number 10 who needs a partner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are fighting for their futures in a sense and need to show their worth to the manager, otherwise they will hopefully be replaced with better quality. UTV I do not see these players of ours playing like they are playing for their futures.....sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meant more as a the state of their current situation rather than what they are practically doing. In the sense you mean, I kind of agree but they may also be making the effort but simply lack the required quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really see Gabby as a centre forward and actually "capable"? A CF at least needs to be capable of scoring goals and I think he's pretty much lost that ability if he ever had it, he's just a leech on the club and has been for too long. I get what you mean though. McCormack isn't exactly playing well either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 We need 2 midfielders maximum, 4 or 5 is just stupid. I think now a striker on loan is quite important. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Ideally, I'd take two central midfielders, a right back, left winger and a striker. Doubt we get that though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
