PieFacE Posted May 25, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 25, 2014 Yeah. I'd take him. We need someone who can play between the lines and he'd do that nicely. Hardly going to be exciting. We're in for such a dull season ahead once again if we're just going to struggle to sign players like Hoolahan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Would rather have George Thorn at derby He is owned by West Brom - doubt they'd be keen to sell to us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Would rather have George Thorn at derby He is owned by West Brom - doubt they'd be keen to sell to us! He also doesn't play the same position. Hoolahan would be an improvement on what he have at AM, ie. nothing, so on that basis, yes. Obviously would be nice to be able to sign someone younger and more talented, but that obviously isn't going to happen. Can't see Norwich selling him to us anyway though, so it's all academic.

smetrov Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I think this will happen - as i reported a while back i spotted a car with a reg ending WEH in the car park for one of our Sunday games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srsmithusa Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 If we do sign WEH (with or without his car) it will be nailed certain that we're planning on going into next season with Lambert on the cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cliffy Biro Posted May 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2014 I still think hes a very tricky dangerous player and i think he'd be a good addition to the squad under the circumstances. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfcwills10 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I wonder who will be out left back next season, Lamberts 4th in 2 seasons lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 If Wes Hoolahan is the best possible player we can attract right now, then there is not point in following football anymore. He didn't get any games for a miserable Norwich-side that relegated this season, so why on earth should we buy him? I am sure he is a decent enough player, but why didn't he get any game-time if he was so good? There are better players out there, too bad we don't have the manager or scouting network to find those players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wants to join a team when you may not be playing for the manager who signed you and most likely be involved in a relegation figh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folski Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 If there's not money to spend I'd rather get someone in on loan and not have a player on a contract sticking around collecting his wages after one season. Get in people like Van Ginkel & Boyata for a season sure we may groom them for another club like Walker but if we haven't got any money and they keep us in the league no harm done, & most importantly we don't have another 30 something player past his prime collecting a wage for sitting on his arse.

At a time like this we need experienced heads, not two young unproven premier league players. Hoolahan would be a good signing. Spending money doesn't mean you'll strengthen, aka Norwich. I think Hoolahan and a DM on loan and we'll be ok once Kozak is back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Firstly I would get Barry in offer him a two year player coach role - as maybe if we give him a coaching role he will take less in wages, presuming he wants to step up to management when he retires. Second get Lescott in, presuming he'll take a big wage drop and a gang of thugs aren't waiting to shank him the moment his Jag drives into Birmingham. Third buy Cresswell if we can't get Betrand. Hoolanhan will probably end up going to one of the new boys or a Championship club, Norwich will most likely never sell to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hoolahan and a DM on loan and we'll be ok once Kozak is back If you're good enough, you're old enough. I think clubs are really starting to stop buying Premier League players over a certain age as they know they're is no value for money, it's why we have struggled to offload the bomb squad. Hoolahan, while no doubting he has experience, (although 63 games is hardly that much), I think he's just such a deflating signing. Club needs a bit of rejuvenation right now and that certainly isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have no problem with Barry at all, apparently James McCarthy has come one leaps and bounds since being slotted in next to him. If Barry could offer the same guidance to young AW & FD it would be very beneficial, as for Lescott the money would have to be right. You've got to question someones ambition when they've won everything in England, grand it's his boyhood club but if he's here for the £ then sod it.

Cliffy Biro Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Honestly wouldn't take anyone from Norwich not one Redmond, Fer, Olsson and Hoolahan would comfortably improve our squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
