Supervillan78 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 That article is just so poor, they couldn't even get his age right because I'm pretty sure he's 24 not 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like him here but it's the Mirror so no doubt just a load of cobblers. Edited January 23, 2014 by danceoftheshamen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 reading some villa ITK bullshit on twitter that we are signing someone decent, potentially before the baggies game then you read through their other tweets and see one suggesting kroos is about to sign for liverpool on loan, you mean the same toni kroos who has played 26 times for bayern this year? yeah thats going to happen isnt it, unbelievable that people buy in to this shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 A defense of Bertrand, Lescott, Vlaar, Lowton/Bacanu would be pretty impressive to be fair, but we still need a creative midfielder for our home games especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yep one of my picks and would be a fantastic signing for us but it's probably just tabloid bullshit although I hope it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Already have two domestic loans, the Lescott loan isn't even allowed is it? Not a need anyway, would prefer Clark to play and continue improving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking piece of journalism, not researched in the slightest. We have already used up our two domestic loans, unless we are going to send Holt back to Wigan to eat pies on the bench again ""A Premiership club can take players on loan from other Premiership clubs, but only a maximum of two at a time, a maximum of four per season and only during the transfer window". I'm 95% sure it's 2 Premier League loans, not domestic. Rule makers probably didn't even think Premier League clubs would need to loan off the championship . James Nursey is in an around the club so is usually pretty clued up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Nursey is in an around the club so is usually pretty clued up. After writing that post I located the quote, regarding loans, through three pages of Google searches and it still wasn't from the FA's website. Anyways it's still poorly researched as we are never going to get Lescott due to his wage at City, just pointless broadcasting the same old information over and over again. Four loans, two from fellow Premier League clubs and the other two from either the Championship lol or aboard, don't even want to be researched at this hour how Watford managed to practically field a team of loan signings last year.

KSV Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) We dont need Lescott. hes not even that good anymore. Obviously better than Clark and would improve us.. but Clark and Vlaar have been good together this season. I think we are crying out for a midfielder more than anything. If we get Lescott AND a quality midfielder.. then yeah why not. But i can only see us signing 1 decent player.. i just hope we sort out the midfield role as its not looking likely at the moment. Our only target is Hoolahan who the telegraph are saying our interest has 'cooled'. Edited January 24, 2014 by KSV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our only target is Hoolahan who the telegraph are saying our interest has 'cooled'. Agreed. Lescott isn't as good as he used to be, quite a few times he's been at fault for some of the goals they've conceeded because he isn't in the right place. Yes, he will be an improvement on our defence, but not as big as some of us are making out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer Clark/Vlaar tandem any day right now. I really don't get the criticism for Clark, escpecially this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 to his credit Clark has really stepped and improved his game. A lot more confident and assured with his game. Baker is a decent back up. Okore will be providing great competition and hes back in a few months. We may need another CB but we REALLY need to sort our midfield. I personally think we need a DM and an AM. Or 1 top quality all round midfielder ie Milner (we aint getting him but a similar player with similar attributes). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
