Mantis Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I still think we've only signed one first team player so far this window. I'm all for signing foreign people I've never heard of but I want quality additions too. How do you know the players won't prove to be quality additions?

Wes Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) How I view the squad currently assuming Helenius' move does work out: Guzan/Siegreist Lowton/?????? ----- Vlaar/Clark ------- Okore/Baker ----- ??????/Bennett Westwood/El Ahmadi --- Delph/Sylla ----------- Weimann/Albrighton ----------- ??????/Gardner ------------ Agbonlahor/Tonev Benteke/Helenius Squad: Steer, Herd, Bacuna In: Bacuna £unknown Helenius £unknown Tonev £2.5m Okore £4m Steer - linked Out: Lichaj: Free Makoun £2.5m Overall £4m+ out thus far Edited June 13, 2013 by Wes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously because they've come from inferior leagues and inferior teams so will definitely not improve our team. *Sarcasm* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for signing foreign people I've never heard of but I want quality additions too.Okore is total 100% guaranteed top notch quality. I dont care what we paid for him he is worth it. So highly rated at the club you would not believe. This time next year we will be bricking it that he could leave us for 30M the lad is immense This. It's the impression I'm given anyway, also from what little I've seen. He is and is going to be a top, top player. Edited June 13, 2013 by dont_do_it_doug.

They're young and will fight for their place so that's good I suppose. I'm all for signing these young hungry types for 1-3m but at the same time, we need to think about adding some real quality. The likes of Popov and Belhanda who are stand out young players at their own clubs, now. I completely trust Lambert. so UTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamsonwoodVillan Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Great looking picture there Wes with the squad. Certainly better than what we've had to endure the last couple of years that's for sure. I think if we can get a good left back now and a really top qualify central midfield player then we will have strengthened the spine of the team so much, and I'm really positive with our personnel.

Delphinho123 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I'm really pleased with the Okore signing, mind. Think he will be a good addition to our defense. I believe Tonev, Helenius and Bacuna will all be squad players to begin with. Not the end of the world really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Wiki says winger, but he's pretty versatile i've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Legov, obviously football is a game of opinions, especially when a player hasnt actually played any time for us yet. However, I will say this I am as sure about this lad being a huge feck off star and success for us as I have been since any signing in the last 20 years. He will be immense for us and feel free to bookmark this and berate me if he has a bad season. I dont think you'll be doing that by the way.

I know Wiki says winger, but he's pretty versatile i've heard. It's because he is so versatile that I simply decided to put him in the squad buffer for now but you could well be right.

I was just wondering in particular how you knew he was that highly rated at Nordsjaelland. I did a quick google and couldn't find any Danish forums (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa-revolution Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Okay Chosen Few - Who next? I am expecting another total unknown from our fantastic scout networking system to be revealed soon. The way things are going we'll soon be using that well known Stingray saying, "Anything Can Happen In The Next Half Hour!" How fabulous is this transfer window so far? So, sooooooooooooo lovin' it.

Helenius at the weekend/next week hopefully. After that? If rumours are to be believed Jed Steer, a Norwich youth keeper, to provide competition for Siegrest for that backup role.
