leighavfc Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Any credibility to the Praet rumours? Not sure how credible they are but a belgian reporter who is normally spot on said the other day we had been offered him and we are interested. SO hopefully that means yes. Would be a class signing if we got him on board. If we signed him. Still need a CB, LB and possibly a RB, if we could also keep Benteke i would be very happy with our squad going into the new season. A lot of ifs and buts, still plenty of time though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Not sure if it would actually work but Gueye, Sanchez and then Delph, Praet and Grealish looks great on paper in a 4-2-3-1 narrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ! I would maybe switch Gueye and Delph, i believe Gueye likes to get forward a bit more from the little amounts ive seen of him. but we would have Westwood and Gards as back up to them. Then we would have Gil and Nzog as back up to the 3. I would prefer us to get rid of Nzog tbh, maybe replace him with Townsend if we could get him for around 10 mil. I wouldnt pay anymore then that for him though! Sounds good to me that! Edited July 11, 2015 by leighavfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweldon1 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Westwood/Sanchez Gueye/Gardner Delph Praet/Gil Grealish/Sinclair That looks a solid midfield to me. Can play 4 or 5 comfortably even with injuries, I'd be happy with that. Edited July 12, 2015 by dweldon1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightysasquatch Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 HITC reporting Mason Holgate (Barnsley) could be signing in the next few days.http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/07/11/report-aston-villa-close-to-another-signing-barnsleys-mason-holg/ All for this signing, probably a low fee, young and english. I would like us to push Bacuna a bit further up and this lad will give Hutton some competition at RB EDIT: Article is from the Sun 1m I think I saw when the story broke last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gompedyret Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Borini was left out of Liverpool's squad for their preseason. A cheap bid might be worth it. He isn't the best, but he can play multiple positions and we still need another striker.We should be looking to add better players to te squad.. Not others' cast offs.. You've even said he's not the best...He is also looking crazy wages. 80k he was looking this time last season Similarly, I see Balotelli isn't going with his Pudlian team mates on tour. I can't help but wonder if Timmy might be the man to help him get his mojo back. Seems he's gone off his crazy disruptive behaviour from a few years back, but Liverpool would be VERY interested in listening to offers, so perhaps a cheeky, low bid?

Gompedyret Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 He did indeed get compassionate leave earlier, but was back in training early this week, before he was expected to according to my Pool-following friend. Several reports takes his omission as a clear sign of not being in Rodgers' plans. Wages is, of course, a potentially big stumbling block, but if we get him cheaply enough there are ways around that. Anyway, my post can be filed under "it would be interesting if...". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Balotelli gets alot more chances to score playing for plop than he would at Villa yet he has really struggled to convert. He'd be a disaster for us, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 If Morinho has admitted he cold not control him, I doubt Sherwood could. Anyway most of us are right in being we could never cover his wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Not interested in players, who play when they feel like it.....we have had our fair share of them over the years. I would like to see a player come in who constantly world the opposition back line.......like Dean Saunders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Dwight Gayle might be worth a punt. Offers more goals than Gabby/n'zog, knows how to play off CB, as Palace play the same system, got 1:2? last year for Palace. We don't get enough players in and around CB quick enough.Gabby and N'Zog are never going to do it. Wouldn't go anywhere near Balotelli tbh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Balotelli would have better offers anyway, and so wouldn't sign for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) A player does not just become shite over night, we have seen this with many players over the years, including ones we have signed who have done well. Apparently he is over most of his behavioral problems. Say for instance they offered 28 mill plus Balotelli on loan, and we signed another striker like Austin etc. I would not be averse to it, with them also paying a huge chunk of the wage of course! I actually think less pressure could probably work wonders for him. As said above, better teams than us would still be in for him so we need not over flatter ourselves.
