AshVilla Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 James Chester from Hull £8 million fee agreed with West Brom, always rated him worth a punt for that money? We already have enough injury prone defenders not worth 8 mill either tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok. A lot would depend on Ayew having a brilliant first season though. I actually think it will be 4-2-3-1: Guzan Crespo Richards Clark Amavi Gueye Veretout Ayew Gil Sinclair/Grealish Adebayor I think that is more like how we will play. I personally am not convinced by Gil or Sinclair, and I wonder if Sherwood would have signed either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pez1974 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Guzan Bacuna Richards Clark Amavi Westwood Veretout Grealish Gueye Sinclair Ayew Bench - Steer, Crespo, Okore, Sanchez, Gil, Gabby, Kozak Which still leaves: Bunn; Baker; Richardson; Cole; Gardner; Robinson (plus a shit load of kids who may be able to step up) To be sold: Hutton; Senderos; Bennett; Cissokho; N'Zogbia; Tonev That seems like a decent first 11; a good bench; decent back up and very little chaf (although I think Crespo will simply do a fill in job for a couple of years until a couple of kids come through) Edited July 28, 2015 by Pez1974 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 As it stands (+Veretout) I'd say starting XI Guzan Bacuna Richards Clark Amavi Gueye Westwood Veretout Gil Grealish Ayew But you could play a number of formations and switch out a number of those players for others. Competition for places and ability to change style and formation! Finally. Very optimistic as it stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 With all these french signings Sherwood might be able to turn Villa Park into a real fortress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 28, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2015 All these midfielders suggest we might be putting one up front. We're not exactly fighting on multiple fronts and yet we'll be well stocked, having Sinclair, Gil, Grealish, Veretout, Gueye, Westwood and Sanchez and that doesn't include N'Zogbia and Cole who I assume will be either fringe or gone (even though Cole does seem to be well liked). Whereas up front where we haven't actually signed Adebaydonkey yet, we only have Gabby, Ayew & Kozak plus Robinson. Obviously the rest of the window could change all of this. It'll be interesting to see how he keeps all those midfielders happy though because none of first 7 I mentioned would be particularly happy spending extended periods out of the team.

omariqy Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Simon Jones, Gregg Evans and Alan Nixon saying that we want Gestede for £6m but they want £8m. We might offer some youth players to sweeten the deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikantcpell Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 This is without a doubt the most entertaining transfer window i can remember, i have been pretty much glued to the computer.

Dante_Lockhart Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Weimann and Benteke out. Gestede, Ayew and Ade on loan in. Sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
