mightysasquatch Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 A mate of mine who's a Barnsley fan reckons we're going to sign Mason Holgate from them. Apparently he's a right back but can also play centre back. 18 years old. Ye it's been reported the weekend it's pretty close to being done.

mightysasquatch Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I doubt it's us but it will be interesting to see if we are in for another DM. I suppose it depends on whether Gueye is considered as Cleverley's replacement or an upgrade on Westwood and Sanchez. I think Gueye was the clubs Delph replacement. Think club is pretty surprised he stayed at end up. Not sure 2 deplh's are great considering where else is needed shored up. Not much could have been done given the circumstances Few articles I read once the Delph stuff kicked off was that Gueye was signed more to replace Cleverly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Deciding to announce Gueye straight after the Delph news came out indicates to me that he was intended as his replacement. I maintain that I believe Sherwood would've gone for a more naturally offensive player to replace Cleverley. Edited July 12, 2015 by Isa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Not as good as his brother but a decent striker with potential to improve, good pace about him so would be a good alternative to Gabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I maintain that I believe Sherwood would've gone for a more naturally offensive player to replace Cleverley. Gueye looks like he can be played as a box to box type player if given the licence. I'm not sure what the intention will be for him, will he be played more conservatively with Delph being given more of a licence to go forward? Who knows. One things for sure is that we still lack creativity and really should be looking for an attacking midfielder to replace N'Zogbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Delph........Gueye New signing is how I wanted our midfield for Bournemouth. We don't have enough options if we're playing 3 there all season as we really should. Westwood and Sanchez are fine as back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hakim Ziyech would be a good one to look at in Erdivisie!! Has impressed for both Heerenveen and Twente.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I maintain that I believe Sherwood would've gone for a more naturally offensive player to replace Cleverley. I thought Gueye had previously been compared to Ramires? Slight build, breaks up play/reads the game well and has "recently added goals to his game" too. Sounds like an all-round box-to-box player from what I've heard - never seen him play, mind.

BOF Posted July 12, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 12, 2015 Balotelli would have better offers anyway, and so wouldn't sign for us. If you say so. Liverpool have offered him to clubs with £2m as an incentive to take him and they've said no thanks. They can't even give the word removed away with money in his pockets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's true there must be some catch. I'm fairly confident that if he leaves Liverpool, it'll be to a club currently enjoying a lot more success than we are at the moment or one with a lot more money than we have.
