Dodgyknees Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) 1) You have a full squad to choose from. 2) You have £10m to spend and an extension of 40k P/W on wages to use - be reasonable. 3) You can do whatever you like for selection, formation and signings. You can buy three players, or just one. But you must be reasonable, no Messi or Ronaldo, think of who you can get for the money. Now put that all together and tell us your tactics. And NO, you do not "go again". Edited December 18, 2013 by dodgyknees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I'll stop being facetious and have a proper think. Man, this is like a really in depth uni assignment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 1. call Swansea and ask is Leon Britton available and try get him as he can hold and pass the ball 2. fine any player that makes stupid long passes 3. scour the continent for a maverick playmaker am sure their is one available in Spain, Italy or Holland that could do a job 4. arrange a friendly vs some pub team so Benteke can gt his confidence back this management is easy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 1) Target two midfielders - one an experienced loan player (in the mould of Barry or Parker) and one probably foreign creative midfielder around the 5-7 mil bracket 2) Sign an experienced defender - either on loan to cover Okore or perm to add a bit more to the squad 3) Decide what my best team and tactics is/are 4) Use those more than once even if we lose so as to build up continuity 5) Give fringe youth players a substitute appearance at least 6) Give Gardener and Helenius a chance 7) Play Bowery or sell him so another more worthwhile players gets a chance 8) Ban all floaty set pieces 9) Tell Tonev not to shoot on site Flog Benteke for 30 mil to raise funds to sign some decent players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric Avenue Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Firstly we need someone who can take a free kick and a corner. Peter Whittingham springs to mind here. Then we need that Modric type Nr10, I have no idea who this may be but you might try and get Will Hughes on the cheap. Then there's the matter of an attacking Left back who can also defend . Again no idea but you're probably looking overseas . Aaron Hunt has been on my list for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srsmithusa Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Sell Benteke. Reset the paramaters based on the dollars that creates. Also, raise money by fining every poster on Villa Talk who posts something I disagree with. (Probably save the club with that funding source alone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Are the parameters that I have 40k/w to use or that each player can get paid up to 40k/w? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avfc96 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Release a letter, around January time telling the fans I do not play negative football and that I always look to line up with a Dutch attacking fluid 4 3 3. Then appoint this guy to reaffirm my point. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Our main problem is the engine room and im afraid Westwood/KEA don't offer enough going forward or defensively, would maybe sell them. Get in a decent defensive midfielder who can just sit and protect the back 4. Anderson on loan from Utd? Maybe Barry would come back? More likely someone like Joey Barton, might be a complete rocket polisher but at least he would get stuck in and we need another leader. More attacking options of people comfortable on the ball. Shaun Maloney springs to mind if he doesn't bring that homesickness stuff with him, very comfortable on the ball and can play anywhere up front. Would like Kiyotake too I don't think them 3 would cost that much once we sold a couple and got some off the wage bill. -------------Guzan--------------- Lowton--Vlaar---Okore---Luna ---------Barton---Delph---------- Gabby-----Kiyotake----Maloney --------------Benteke------------- Have Delph and Barton basically sit for most the game or have one just infront of the other, push Lowton and Luna forward more. Steer Bennett Bacuna Baker Clark Westwood/KEA/Sylla Gardner Albrighton/Nzogbia/Helenius/Tonev Weimann/Kozak Grealish Sell a couple of them above, as well as getting rid of Bowery, Delfouneso, Stevens, Hutton, Herd, Bent.
