rodders0223 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Didn't look prem standard last yr..if true is that Lamberts fourth lb? And yet still no dm. Didn't look title challenging standard. Would be the best LB we have had since Bouma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Worryingly Richardson has been used as a number 10 in pre-season. I actually didn't think we needed another LB but Lambert seems to like signing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted August 7, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) I think we should use our entire budget on getting 1 decent midfielder in. I'm sick of us signing 3 or so below average players every summer only for them to not be good enough. We don't necessarily need the squad depth now, just get 1 quality player in and i'll be happy.

lp_villa830 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Can we sign anyone until more leave with the current size of the squad? I can't see Lerner sanctioning another signing if it means players not being registered to be played in the PL whilst still paying their wages.

Popular Post Chap of Steel Posted August 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2014 Cissokho played 15 times for a team who finished second. Not sure why people are being so snobby, about the best we can hope for given our financial situation.. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'd guess that it's known that one of the other left-backs will definitely leave. Maybe a deal is even in place for one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree there, if we have a budget and a potential star is available I'd grab him before someone else does. Someone who can defend please. I used your argument, 1 good is better than 3 bad, in the left back situation, too many average players who end up costing the same as someone good. The question is who is realistic and available?

Zatman Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 And just because he performed badly being thrown into a poor defence without any adaptation period doesn't make him rubbish. don't think you made that defence in the Senderos thread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Cissokho played 15 times for a team who finished second. Not sure why people are being so snobby, about the best we can hope for given our financial situation.. He is absolutely terrible. I used to give my pool mates abuse about him last year. So slow and is a terrible passer. I doubt we are in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandaq Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Hope not, he was really coasting last year on pool. Not liked and looked out of it several times. But much better than bennett so...yeah. Personally want a dm and an AM unless that will be cole and the zog. Not sure how that is gonna pan out, probably not so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 moises.llorens @moillorens · 21m El VCF traspasa a Cissoko al Aston Villa, de la Premier... Spanish journo, reckon this one has legs to be honest, has the usual signs - completely random, unexpected and is a left back. Wasn't good enough for Liverpool if they want to challenge for the league, but we aren't Liverpool and we won't be challenging for the league any time soon. He'll be a good addition and would also indicate somebody is on the way out IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Is there anything in this whatsoever? He hasn't even qualified for his own thread on here. Aly Cissokho is in the orbit of Aston Villa. The French player of Valencia CF does not fit into the plans of Nuno Espírito Santo and is therefore seeking a solution that could pass for return to the Premier Leage. The up side would open the door to a new addition. At least so says Mark Radio Valencia, which gives the left-hander in the orbit of Aston Villa, who might even have a pre-agreement in the absence of an understanding between clubs. With that, the door would open another hiring more, which would refers to a left side. Among the desired Antunes was of Málaga CF http://www.deportevalenciano.com/2014/08/07/el-aston-villa-va-por-aly-cissokho The fee being touted is around £2.3m, 20% of which will go to Lyon.
