AVFCAM Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 FFS if we end up signing anyone from League Two I'm going to be **** livid. Defour is a deep lying playmaker whilst WH is a right out number 10, so PL could sign them both and field a team like this: Guzan, Bacuna, Vlaar, Okore (when fit) Clark, Defour, Delph, Gabby, WH, Albrighton and Benteke, 4-2-3-1.I would rather have Lowton & Luna at full-back, than Bacuna & Clark.We preferably need two new fullbacks, Lowton is slow as shit so anyone with any kind of pace will get past him with ease and Luna is worst than Joe Bennett, thought I'd never say that but he is, last decent left-back at VP was Wilfred Bouma. I completely disagree. Lowton was the messiah last season, so if he gets back to that form, he'd be a damn sight better than Bacuna, who's worst attribute seems to be his defending. As for Luna, he was decent earlier in the season, and we missed him when he was out. He's had two or three bad games (as have the whole team) and now people are calling for Bennett. People have short memories, Bennett was absolutely dreadful last season. He's NOT better than Luna. Agreed. Bennett was far below that standard required!

Mattyp_avfc Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Even though it points towards there not being any signings, it'd surely make sense for Lambert to have his backroom staff around him to discuss which player they should possibly sign, if an offer or two was accepted? Im almost certain they will have discussed all this way in advance, and as someone else said its 2014 ffs many modes of communication available. Plus it would be Faulkner etc dealing with negotiations. You'd think a potential signing would like to speak to the manager in person before committing though Maybe they already have? Or could do over the phone? Just trying to find something to cling onto... we need an attacking mid!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I think if we ended up with no one else I'll be less concerned than this time last year when our Jan outlay or lack of it seemed like a massive risk. Then it was a gamble that very nearly saw us relegated were it not for some great form towards the end of the year. This year I think we are better equipped to survive without any new faces, so long as Vlaar and Tekkers don't get injured again. It does leave me concerned about Lerners view of the club but that is nothing new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I forget who it was, but pretty sure we've signed someone with the manager absent, some time in the last 3 or 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Can't see anything happening today. Slightly disappointing but not the end of the world. Hopefully now though we'll bring in a good attacking midfielder in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
