Woody1000 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Assuming we don't sell DB, I hope we bring in an experienced CB, an experienced CDM, and an experienced winger. I think if we're clever, that could be done for under £20m, which is what Randy paid to get us out of the relegation shit when he bought Bent 2 years ago. I think the signings of defensive quality are important, as if we carry on shipping goals as we are then we will go down - we rarely look like scoring more than 2 goals per game, but we look like we could concede anytime we are attacked!

Mattyp_avfc Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Reported in the mail it would be 5m, but that was talk of him going to Sunderland - 5m then no thanks Would take him if it was 3-4m, 5m at a stretch depending on the budget...

AVFCforever1991 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 So what we thinking, Bent out, Aubameyang in?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyp_avfc Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 So what we thinking, Bent out, Aubameyang in?? That would be a good swap, Auba is an awesome player... If we did go after Danny Graham then wouldn't he want guaranteed first team games.... I thought that's why he's wanting to leave Swansea...

PieFacE Posted January 6, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 6, 2013 Yeah I can't see us buying Danny Graham. Can't see us selling Bent either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanwesty88 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Having CNZ, Bent and Gabby back yesterday was like having three new signings. If we can get Vlaar back we actually have a decent starting 11 that I believe will steer us clear of the "r" word - good options upfront but the midfield/defence is still lacking quality and experience. I'd be happy if we got 1or 2 good experienced players in this month as well as good prospects such as Stephens. In Lambert and Henke we trust!

chappy Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 If Bent stays then we don't need any strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 True, we can always sell him in the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Problem is Vlaar is still a while away & we could be right in it by the time he gets fully match fit.. At least Baker is back mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayEm Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I would have liked a signing, or at least some more concrete news about one, by now to be honest. Still 25 days left though, so anything could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 We don't really need a striker and that really should not be a priority. And £5m for Danny Graham??? That's such a MON signing and a MON fee, so I expect he will go to Sunderland, barely play, be shit when he does play and then leave for nothing some day in the future once his career has been ruined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Danny Graham wouldn't be a bad signing for us but I agree up front isn't a priority if Bent is going to be sticking around. Priority areas are clearly defence and midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyp_avfc Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 if we are going for a AM/Fwd who can play behind Bent/Benteke either Iago aspas or Aubameyang would be good, we would only be after Graham if Bent does i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyp_avfc Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Or not at all. I wouldn't think we are in the first place, I we "did" go after him then it would be a bit different to what Lambert's signed before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
