I think Okore will be great in the Championship and, perhaps more importantly, we want players that aren't sulking about being in the second tier. They all played their part in getting there, so it's good to see some hunger to get us back into the Premier League. OT, I always respected the way Macron treated the club compared to Nike, but that is one fussy looking shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be amazed if Lescott stays. There's a decent player in Clark, I hope we keep him, he's a solid Championship defender. Richards is a walking accident, needs to go too.

Oh I don't disagree, but we need to find someone to take the likes of Lescott and Richards. Clubs won't exactly be forming an orderly queue.

NeilS Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I am afraid we are going to have to be patient when it comes to moving the unwanted players out. Those players we are looking to shift are not going to leave early in the window. These players are not going to be in high demand due to the fact they were abysmal last season, so top managers and clubs are not going to be interested at all. The type of manager who might be willing to take those players will be the type of manager who will make a move at the last minute to get a percieved bargain, in the hope of recapturing a players former talents. The type of manager I am talking about are your Steve Bruce, Tony Pulis' of the world or a Redknap/MON in days gone by. That will probably only happen if those managers don't get their first targets, and they turn to plan b,c,d....z. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jesperchr Posted July 4, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) Looks like he is staying According to a danish football site, there are a lot of interest in him from other clubs. But it looks like he is staying, says his agent Nikola Juric. - There are interests from other clubs, but the most interesting is Aston Villa. Di Matteo wanted Jores when he was manager in Chelsea, and Jores where in FC Nordsjælland. Basically that’s what it says J Link http://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/okore-ser-ud-til-at-blive-i-villa/ Edited July 4, 2016 by Jesperchr 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Going off the friendlies.. looks like Baker will get to partner Elphick. Would he be happy to sit on the bench again? There are 46+ games so I imagine he will get his fair share and he probably cant play 3 in a week anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGC Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Okore is light years ahead of Baker as a centre back. It'll be incredibly frustrating if Baker does get the nod. We always saw the best of Clark when he was partnered with Okore so I can't see why Elphick can't link well with him too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I suggested trying okore at rb, I think he played one game at rb and did well there. Hopefully be a better option than hutton and bacuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 It's a long season and as said if Okore was first choice he'd probably pick up an injury before too long...as inevitably will Baker. Have no issue with Elphick and Baker starting the season but not sure how well they'll do against strikers with pace so Okore will be needed for those games.
