By all accounts either a Right side CB, of Right Back, backup. As we have also seen, we are only 2 or 3 players away from a quality starting 11. FTFY He can cover at RB in the same way that Mellberg or Cuellar could. He's played at RB maybe 5 times in recent years. Since the 15/16 season he's been a CB Edit: Sorry JV I edited while you responded Edited December 30, 2019 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but, that's pretty much true of all our positions, the last one we probably need to have more cover in is our defence. CB and RB are probably are 2 strongest positions compared to the rest of the squad.(I know that ain't saying much, but LB, CM, DCM, our wingers, and Striker situation are all worse) Edited December 30, 2019 by Laughable Chimp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Vida and Mings would be a pretty solid centre half pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Apparently a couple of PL clubs (among them Plop) are looking at Vitesse Arnhem LB Max Clark(e) previously at Hull and with some youth caps for England. Wonder if we are among them? We need competition for Targett and to get rid of Taylor. Edited December 30, 2019 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I think we need to get our business done early to take some pressure off of Smith. Fingers crossed there are signing a lined up as opposed to waiting to the end of the window. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zab6359 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Sheff Utd reportedly looking at 12 mil for Eberechi Eze, sort of player we should be looking at would make a great understudy to Jack for when Jack eventually moves on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 With Chelsea having their transfer ban lifted, and presumably bringing in a striker to compete with Tammy, I'd 100% be making an approach to loan Giroud. He'll want to make sure he's in the France squad for Euros. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Watford looking at taking Ricardo Rodriguez on loan from Milan for the rest of the season (Milan needs to trim their wage budget I imagine). He didn't quite live up to his early hype or the form he had at Wolfsburg but would still improve us at LB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Eze would be a great signing, ran the show at Villa Park last season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batshuayi also will need to showcase himself somewhere to earn a move, so win win for us. If he works out, we can sign him in the summer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might even be able to form a decent strike partnership. Vida, Bowen and Batshuayi (loan with option to buy) would be good. Still think we'd need a CM now that McGinn is out too. I've seen links to Yari Verschaeren, but can't see that happening as there would be a lot of competition to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be on high wages no doubt and he’d be a bad influence on the dressing room, it’s a no from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poitier Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Although Giroud would be a massive step up in quality I doubt he can last more than 60-70 minutes, which would still leave us relying on our not good enough strikers to fill in.
