ccfcman Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Praying that we splash a large portion of our remaining budget on a quality CB. Ideally: N'Koulou (25) Marseille Dragovic (24) Dynamo Kiev Martins-Indi (23) Porto Matip (23) Schalke And finally, an absolute(ly impossible) dream signing: De Vrij (23) Lazio Had suggested raiding Greece and Ukraine for players, the major draw for almost all of those players is very simple: Champions League Football or at the very least UEFA Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redditch Ruffian Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Shawcross is a terrible defender. Give me a Ron Vlaar on crutches any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Shawcross is a terrible defender. Give me a Ron Vlaar on crutches any day. Asking for Ron Blaar on crutches is like asking for a new day tomorrow. At least make it hard. Ron Vlaar fit for 12 months? (I get your point btw, just playing!)

Xela Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 NKoukou out of contract next summer I believe. Could come at a decent value. I see this name mentioned a lot. Any substance to it? Or just because he plays in France? Seems a bit short (5 foot 11) for a centre back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 We were linked with N'Koulou in The Times about a month ago along with Newcastle and Sunderland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Absolutely no link or basis for this but how would Villa fans feel about making a move for Victor Valdes? Not quite sure why Van Gaal is treating him like absolute shite. Get Utd to pay a portion of his wages on a season long loan. Yes please. I'm not a Guzan hater but Valdes is a step-up and not such a crazy propsect given how poorly he's being treated and he doesn't seem to be a player happy to just take his wages and sit on his arse. Do it Tim, please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl the Pearl Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 If we were going to get a new GK I don't think we would've signed Bunn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought why not go for Valdes would love him at Villa but like you say I doubt he would want to come Villa unless he has a facial with Tim Edited August 3, 2015 by midian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAVFC Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Not sure I really rate him anyway I suspect he is a bit over rated because of his time at Barca, though pretty hard to judge a Barcelona keeper either way. However good they are I don't particularly want someone who refuses to play for a reserves/u21 side who ever it is for, especially if they were never first choice, rotten attitude!

Do it Tim, please. He's treating him like that because allegedly Valdes refused to play in a game. Good keeper but that's not the biggest area of concern at the minute, central defence is.
