Fight Like Lions Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Quotes from Redknapp.. Harry Redknapp@Redknapp 4 hours ago "With both Christian Benteke and Fabian Delph gone Tim Sherwood has a lot of money to spend but it’s fair to say he’s got a hard job. Will he go and raid his old club Spurs? I think he might, he could go for players like Andros Townsend and Adebayor. I know he likes Tom Carroll, he’s a good young player and Tim is a fan of his. This is the first chance Tim’s had to get his own side, before he’s always inherited someone else’s mid-season. It’s a good challenge for him and he’ll enjoy it. He’ll clear the decks and try and get a side he likes on that Villa Park pitch. However, it won’ be an easy season for him. I think he’ll do well but they’ve lost their best players, losing Delph was a big blow and Tim will know he’s got a tough season ahead with a relegation battle more than likely, mid-table security will be a job well done."http://www.kicca.com/Redknapp/posts/55aced6daed1d9a88da46e43 Good old Harry, talk about stating the obvious!

Nabby Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Another french link ..Alassane Pléa http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2015/aston-villa-interested-in-alassane-plea/ Not much in way of details Michy Batshuayi not happening http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2015/exclusive-michy-batshuayi-to-remain-at-marseille/ According to sources close to the player contacted exclusively by Get French Football News, Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi will not be leaving the club this summer. It is our understanding that indirect approaches have been made through intermediaries on behalf of Aston Villa and Tottenham towards the player’s entourage, but that these were inconclusive. Batshuayi’s camp ensures us that he will be wearing the OM shirt well into next season. Edited July 20, 2015 by Nabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 i think were going to need more players in than we realize, it appears the door is open for many lads, we still need squad rotation. - if guzen leaves, we will need another first choice keeper - we need another right back - if cissokho leaves, we will need a back up left back, unless were planning on using bennett? (please god, no) - we need a centre attacking midfielder to replace delph, gardner also derserves a chance - lastly we need 2 strikers to replace the 4 that have left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 We have hutton, bacuna and richards who can play rb and amavi and richardson who can play lb. I think we're fine in those positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 A lot of talk of us being doomed today, I really think we are cambiasso on a free away from being able to say our midfield is better than last season, shame that's gone quiet, LB is miles better, leaves us with money to buy an established striker, a punt on a youngster then hopefully another centre back Considering we've lost our 2 best players (I'm not pushing it out to 3 like most media, vlaar was nowhere near our top 3 last year) I'm more optimistic than I was last summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Villarocker Posted July 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) From Nixon: @reluctantnicko:Only thing found out is that Oulare has a fixed fee. In your range. Couple of scouts chopped at Villa today. €10 he also tweeted If I've deciphered that correctly I I would snap their fooking hands of - Oulare for 10 euros is a bargain!
