I understand what you're saying but would you turn down either Trippier or Heaton from Burnley? I wouldn't personally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends who it is though, I'd take Trippier and Ings from Burnley, Austen from QPR and Robertson from Hull in a heartbeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dudevillaisnice Posted May 31, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2015 I wouldn't use players from a relegated side to build a new spine. It's ok for Spurs to go for trippier, Ings to Liverpool etc because they have a solid spine. One or two maybe would be fine but anymore and I think it'll be a problem. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what you're saying but would you turn down either Trippier or Heaton from Burnley? I wouldn't personally. Personally i think we have a more than adequate goalkeeper who is being frozen out. Not convinced with Trippier either. I wouldn't use players from a relegated side to build a new spine. It's ok for Spurs to go for trippier, Ings to Liverpool etc because they have a solid spine. One or two maybe would be fine but anymore and I think it'll be a problem. This is a much better explanation of what I meant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervillan78 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) I'd rather sign decent players from relegated PL clubs, than dross from top six sides on massive wages who can't be arsed or unproven talent from the lower leagues who just can't cut it.

AXD Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'd stay well clear of anyone from a relegated side. Leroy Fer for example has now been relegated twice. Depends who it is though, I'd take Trippier and Ings from Burnley, Austen from QPR and Robertson from Hull in a heartbeat. Trippier £3,1m Ings - free Austin - £8m Robertson - £4.4m add Heaton - £2.2m these prices are based on transfermarkt, so they are just something to go by (apart from Ings, he's still rated at £9m, but he's out of contract). Seems like a few bargains can found in the relegated teams. On that note, why is everyone going on about Austin being worth £15m. If he were in the situation of a Benteke than maybe yes, but he plays for a relegated club, with financial problems and has only 1 year left on his contract. All reasons to lower his price.

No way is anyone getting the players for the prices listed there. Even Ings will cost something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted May 31, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2015 I would definitely be interested in Phillips and Austin from QPR, 2 standout players for them. I'm sure Tim could strike a deal with his mates there. I've always liked Fer too, but that has not much to do with his real life attributes, but being an integral part of my all conquering Villa side on FM a few years back.

Supervillan78 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Alex Song anyone, still not wanted at Barca and West Ham aren't taking the option to sign him permanently. Quality player IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I don't buy the idea that you shouldn't sign players just because they played for a relegated side. There are often gems in those squads that just happened to be around weak players. Good players can come from anywhere, you've just got to spot them and then develop them. I don't buy this 'losers' and 'winners' thing myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Alex Song anyone, still not wanted at Barca and West Ham aren't taking the option to sign him permanently. Quality player IMO. Cracking player, but too many barriers in the way I would have thought. Would be a great signing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamsonwoodVillan Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I agree. We shouldn't not sign a good player just because he came from a relegated team. Also, it's going to be very difficult for us to attract players from promoted teams or established mid table teams. I don't think we've got the big-club pull factor that we had in the MON era. It depends hugely on where in the team Sherwood wants to change things and how many new players he thinks we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Has Sherwood not made a rod for his own back, with his recent comments about losers. Surely anyone being signed from a relegated team would be considered a loser, in footballing terms, especially QPR. I say 'rod for his own back' but it probably wouldn't be a bad thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Linked with Johnny Evans today in the People. He'll sign for someone around our league placing, Newcastle, Sunderland, West Ham etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
