alreadyexists Posted July 18, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2015 In my eyes we need as a bare minimum before the season starts; 1. A striker that can conceivably score 20 goals a season (that might be a tough one) 2. A left back (they've always been easy to find in the last 5 years!), 3. A central midfielder to provide cover and competition to Gueye/Westwood/Gardner (that isn't crap) After that, we need a lot more, but those are the most urgent I think personally. Amavi? We haven't signed him yet, as soon as we have you can tick him off. http://www.ogcnice.com/fr/actualite/24256/accord-pour-le-transfert-damavi My bad, I can't speak French but I assume this is a post which makes me look like a berk because we've signed him!

sharkyvilla Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Weren't we linked to Pione Sisto a while back? What's he like? Of all the youtube vids I've seen he's the most exciting He looks strong as an ox, low centre of gravity, quick, skilful. I'm surprised he's still not been nabbed by someone, surely too good for the Danish league. He'd probably be cheaper than a lot of other options and maybe Jores could have a word in his ear.

troon_villan Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I think everyone can take a deep breath now. Things seem to be tying together very nicely in the aftermath of meltdown mode. Go on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) The perfect replacement for Benteke would be Salomon Rondon, you'd have seen him in the summer scoring for Venezuela v Colombia. He'll play in the premier league eventually career stats: 2006–2008 Aragua 49 (15) 2008–2010 Las Palmas 46 (12) 2010–2012 Málaga 67 (25) 2012–2014 Rubin Kazan 36 (13) 2014– Zenit St. Petersburg 36 (20) National team‡2009 Venezuela U20 11 (7) 2008– Venezuela 39 (13) Fantastic scoring record most players he's been and also scored a few in champions league and europa league. AVB seems to have fallen out with him so probably moving on in the near future. Edited July 18, 2015 by VillaChris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 With Gill, Gueye and Amavi being signed in the last 6 months, I'm genuinely excited to see who we replace benteke with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 If Sherwood wants to change our style of attack (which it sounds like he does) we could do a lot worse than look at the Toulouse forward Ben Yedder. Bit on the diminutive side but fast, with great natural balance, and has been a consistent goalscorer for them for a few years now. If he wasn't to work out as an out and out striker in the Premier League could see him adapt to an advanced right sided attacking role too.

danceoftheshamen Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 So all these rumours he's definately coming here.... does this mean he's signing for Man City on Monday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Rondon would be a great replacement but he likely wouldn't want to leave to come to our club and I imagine he is easily on 100k+ wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On your third point you've forgotten Sanchez. Big season for Gardner and Westwood they really need to step up and grab the opportunity. Now that we have Amavi done left back is sorted.

People talk about losing the spine of our team, but this is the spine of the worst team still in the league. Looking forward to seeing who comes in next.
