Think we could do a lot worse than bring in Lewis Holtby or Bobby Wood. Holtby still only 27 I believe? And out of contract. Bobby Wood ( clearly a porn star name btw ) would be a great addition if we are still a championship club next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might improve, but I'd expect a 24 year old to have shown more by now if he was ever going to successfully make that step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember every Villa fan and his dog raging we didn't sign him 5 years ago. Complete myth of a footballer who I still have no idea what he actually does. He was shit then, he was shit when he signed for Tottenham, he was shit when he went to Fulham, he was shit when he left Tottenham, he has always been shit and I am guessing has been shit for Hamburg and will always be shit. edit : Realised what it was. He was a small left footed player who floats about doing nothing which apparently makes you a player in a lot of people's eyes. Haven't heard the name Holtby in a long time and forgot he was a left footed midfielder but remember he was bad and willing to assume from the nothing you remember about him that he's played badly for Hamburg? He's been in very good form and was one of the best players in their resurgence but unfortunately it was too little too late and they still went down.

Young has been one of the most consistent performer for united this season. 2 goals and 8 assists from left back is a great record. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I personally think two lists have been comprised already The championship list The premier league list I think all the rumours at this stage are bollocks as we dont know what league we are going to be in yet. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adbo9 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 If were in the premier league, I am certain well sign Sam Johnstone, Robert Snodgrass and Grabban permanently......... And I dont think too much will change..... I suspect a couple of squad players as cover/pressure on the pairing...... or with Jedinak filling in when required and maybe a full season on loan for Tuanzebe Sam will be no1 and probably a new no2 that doesnt have 23 operations per season Chester and JT will be first choice pair at the back........ Elmo/Hutton/Bree/Taylor and id assume a new left back would be the fullbacks........ I think well see the end of Lansbury and Bjarnason as they wont get in....... I think the major money spent will be on 2 quality midfield players to play with grealish My feeling is the rest will be pretty much as is........

I think that we would be facing a severe relegation problem (if we go up). Keeping our current strikers (and perm. signing Grabban) would be more than good enough for a championship title challenge, but I don't think are premier league quality and we would have a shortage of goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think he is one of those people that playing football comes easy to and maybe doesn't work hard enough at his game and this might be why to date he is a bit part player - but as mentioned before I do like him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) I won't take the bait, but by all means keep fishing. Back on topic i don't know where were going to go for talent in the summer. I'd like to see us scout Asia a bit if Tony has any connections there. Edited May 15, 2018 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted May 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 16, 2018 If we go up how much do you think we will spend? It's going to take at least £100m to improve us substantially. Maybe sign some of the more promising championship players we have seen over the last few seasons and add 2 PL proven players , a midfielder and a striker, offload some of our fringe players.
