Reivax_Villa Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I cannot see us looking at Brentford to strengthen our defence. We are certainly looking abroad for reinforcements & it would not surprise me if we are looking in Spain for a left back too. I am looking forward to what type of players we are going to sign. But I doubt that we are going to look in this league for players to improve us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should scour and scout cheap deal short term until we promote to premiership. I like one McKenna I reckon he is good price about half price to buy as if price compare to konsa or mepham Barbet is good talented, he is more like Chester with bit upgrade better version in my eyes as he can play header well in defensive than chester, if we get him cheap deal is better than nothing as it would be Good back up If all not get on time find any new players so we actively trigger elphick recall. if we go find any in summer as first choice to partner with Chester or sell Chester upgrade our two centre half (konsa and mepham) in summer and with barbet in 3rd choice it is very good deal in my option If McKenna not work so we should try back for French defender, too long for me spelling his name. I always like see youth player development like Clark, raven, j.b as 4th or maybe 5th choice, in normal rota Our curriculum we don't got 3rd centre half so raven or j.b should playing with Chester rather Bree and play Bree in right back until window open. By way merry Christmas (overdue 1 day sorry) I like your way of thinking Danny. Dropped you a private message mate.

Jareth Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Not enough links around, maybe Jesus is keeping his cards close to his chest - or we'll be getting some tasty little forren players nobody in the Midlands has heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Barbet sounds to me like the sort of player you sign if you need squad players and your ambition is to finish 12th in the Championship. We need someone at LB who is obviously too good for the division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Might get pelters for this but I'd sign Bryan Oviedo, he's not a bad player at all and would be available on the cheap. Much better than what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll report back! I didn't say it would be easy. But I'm not talking about something ludicrous here; for measurement I would certainly put Barry Douglas in the Obviously Too Good For This Division group. I'm not talking about the best players in the world here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrentVilla Posted December 26, 2018 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2018 We aren’t “looking for players” at this stage, that’s largely long since done and targets identified and sounded out one way or another. Now it’s about trying to get the deals done or over the line. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it’s about trying to get the deals done or over the line. What Aston Villa has taught me is that you should only start looking for players around the 20th January, and then panic buy players in positions you don’t need on the 29-31st January. Also, sell all cover and squad depth on 1st Jan so that if the panic deals don’t come through, then you either double your transfer fee/salary offer on the last day or you end up with no-one. Its the Aston Villa way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 What’s the official line on what we are looking for aside from a keeper? Romaine Sawyer and Maupay bought; Cahill and Benteke on loan would be nice. I am not up to speed on RBs and LBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen him stamp on players twice this season, I wouldn't want him anywhere near us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Maupay would be a great signing. Peoples and players change. Edit: scored 15 and assisted 6 this season. Pretty impressive.
