  1. i wouldnt imagine that tbh, sitting in front of the defence and bringing the ball out/holding on to the ball/playing retention passes etc, i can see that, but i doubt as an actual sweeper, that makes no real sense when he isnt a defender.
  2. the sweeper was a defender effectively, who could bring the ball out of defence and "sweep up" as required, sometimes actually behind the two standard CB's. The Hourihane / Carroll role you are mentioning is really more like the standard deep lying playmaker probably.
  3. listening to his interview on AVFC official site, he says "he knew about the possible transfer for a while but wasnt sure it would happen". (specifically mentioned "a few weeks ago" in response to when he first heard of the possibility) So basically it just went totally under the radar, but was on the agenda for a while. Nice to know that DS actually intended this transfer, and is wasnt a knee jerk purchase.
  4. I read that we were after both Carroll and Fer, but Fer fell through and we still got Carroll. Not sure if true.
  5. This window "could" be ok.....but.... My concern is that after signing the new RB who isn't here until next season, Hause who hasn't started yet, then Mings and Carroll, if it's only kalinic who actually starts and the rest are just bench warmers I'm not gonna be happy....
  6. To be fair were we ever in for Hayden or fer, after this signing I don't know what to believe......
  7. Honestly no idea if this guy is reasonable terrible, really concerned by the fact indont know whether to be remotely happy or if I should smash my head against a desk. Come on Villa at least give me a player that I know how to react to!!
  8. Apologies, no idea who this guy is, is he any good?, defensive midfielder I assume?
  9. I hope we have another midfielder in our back pocket.....otherwise not signing a midfielder is a big boo boo imo.
  10. Fer to villa is off now apparently, according to villa report.
  11. agreed, if we didnt pick up a midfielder (Fer or someone else), i will be an unhappy bunny. its a bit concerning that it was supposedly confirmed an hour ago, unyet nothing official anywhere.
  12. Bolasie joined Anderlecht on loan. I hope he does terrible.
  13. times up.....lets hope there is a signing in someones back pocket to officially announce.......
  14. 9 mins to go, i hope we sign a midfielder.......the Fer transfer isnt officially confirmed anywhere currently. I honestly think a good MC signing would be the difference between this being a good window and a spooky one.....
  15. 22 minutes left! Get those rocket packs out to ensure players get to VP on time to sign!
  16. hmmmm......still nothing official.......... Have we jumped the gun?!
  17. Anything official on Fer anywhere? I get the feeling we may have jumped the gun on saying this is complete???
  18. Sheffield Wednesday sign Iorfa Just 4 u ppl keeping track of Bruce
  19. Is Fer a defensive CM or more of an attacking CM? Having watched some vids, he does seem to get stuck in and pick up the ball from deep a lot?
  20. Havent seen anything official yet saying we have signed him........hoping tho.
  21. says we have signed Fer, but i havent seen anything official.......
