Villan4Life 5,141 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 HH tweeted that he spoke to senior member of staff and he's heard nothing. To be fair, why would anyone tell Howard Hodgson anything? Link to post Share on other sites
maqroll 10,238 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Yep, no "senior member" of staff would leak such monumental news like that to him or anyone else, for that matter. The leak would most likely have to come from a mid level employee who might not expect to be retained by new ownership. Link to post Share on other sites

AndJo 36 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Does anyone think we will bring in anymore this window? Personally don't think we need anymore Link to post Share on other sites
Pelle 996 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Define "need". Better players are always needed. I think we might try to get more in. I hope we try to, as long as they improve our squad and hopefully our team. Link to post Share on other sites
DamsonwoodVillan 175 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Yes I think we 'need' another attacking wide man to add to Zog and Grealish. I've had enough of Weimann playing there. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
JoshVilla 380 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I think maybe an AM/Winger, or possibly even a striker (who'd have thought it, after being so used to having strikers in abundance) on loan wouldn't go amiss. I can't see us signing any more permanent deals, but a loan would be fine since the main aim this season appears to be just to stay in the league to ensure that we stay an attractive proposition to a potential buyer, as well as not having to deal with the financial/emotional blow of relegation. Cole will hopefully do a decent job if he stays fit, N'zogbia will hopefully return to the first team strong and we're all hoping that Grealish gets a good run out as he's shown so much talent and determination during preseason, but maybe just one more attacking mid or winger to give us that extra option, or a striker to cover the time that Kozak/Benteke are out (or getting back up to speed) would be good. As it stands though, in the situation that we're in, I think we've done okay this window. We've strengthened positions that we needed to strengthen (albeit some positions a little better than others) and have added some much needed experience. Link to post Share on other sites

VillaChris 7,038 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 We don't really need "more" but we do need "better" Yep this. Suppose what the expectation is. To stay up, probably one more is needed and pray key players stay at the club and fit. For top half football 4-5 are probably needed. Link to post Share on other sites

There really isn't that much between say 9th and 17th. While I don't think top 10 is likely, it's certainly not impossible even with our squad as it stands now. Top 7 on the other hand? No chance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

AValon 542 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) We don't really need "more" but we do need "better" So true. In our current form, though, I would suggest Cissokho and Sanchez are probably the 'better' we're going to attract. A .good season, on the other hand, could make a world of difference to the calibre of players we can draw. Edited August 16, 2014 by AValon Link to post Share on other sites

Bringing back the bomb squad, bringing in players for the positions we need them, moving on his young and hungry failures, bringing in experience. Is this all down to him or is someone else pulling the strings? It just seems that everything is happening at once. Anyone else having these thoughts, or is it just me?

You could argue that perhaps he's now being allowed to impose his own transfer strategy rather than that of the club? It's definitely closer to the way he did things at Norwich which is hopefully a good sign. Link to post Share on other sites
jacketspuds 4,086 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I would like a winger next. This. I'm also glad that Moses is off to Stoke. Bring in another surprise target like Sanchez was. Link to post Share on other sites
