bobzy Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Whilst I think Cambiasso would do a job, I'm not fussed at all if we don't sign him. Hopefully this season will see Carlos Sanchez resemble a footballer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Couldn't find the Snake thread, but Delph has just done a hamstring after 17 minutes of his debut and has been stretchered off! If that doesn't make for a good day nothing will Shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/07/24/aston-villa-defender-nathan-baker-eyed-by-burnley/? HITC Sport understands Aston Villa defender Nathan Baker is a target for Burnley as they look to replace Jason Shackell. View image | gettyimages.com HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club that Burnley are lining up a move for highly-rated Aston Villa defender Nathan Baker. Burnley boss Sean Dyche has identified Baker as his top target to replace former captain Jason Shackell following his move to Championship rivals Derby County earlier this week. Dyche is a big admirer of Baker and sees the powerful defender as the ideal successor for Shackell as he looks to build a side capable of winning promotion back to the Premier Leagueat the first attempt. The Clarets are expected to firm up their interest in Baker with a bid as they test Villa's resolve to hang on to the former England Under-21 international SEE ALSO: Burnley eye move for former Watford star Baker, who joined Villa as a 13-year-old, came through the ranks at Villa Park and was part of the side that won the Premier Academy League in 2007-08 alongside the likes of Ciaran Clark, Andreas Weimann, Barry Bannan, Marc Albrighton and Chris Herd. The centre-back, who can also play at left-back, made his first-team debut in January 2011 and has gone on to make 88 appearances for Villa.

GENTLEMAN Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Nathan Baker has been the best CB so far in pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted July 24, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 24, 2015 I'd be disappointed to see Baker go - I think last season he really started to show that he can be a very good centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 he'll always struggle with consistency and injuries though, i think he's a decent player but it's going to be hard for sherwood to build a defence based on him because he'll never play 38 games a year, as a result he should be 3rd or 4th choice at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) I think it would be a terrible time to let Baker go. He's still quite young for a centre back, he's got a few seasons worth of Premier League experience and his performances have just been getting better in the last two seasons.

sharkyvilla Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Were light in CB department as it is plus he fills the english quota Indeed, with most of our signings coming from abroad, unless we got offered an attractive amount which is unlikely from a Championship club, I don't see why we would let an important home-grown member of the squad go. I don't see why he'd want to drop down a division when he must be in contention for playing a fair bit, what with our luck with injuries, Vlaar going and possibly playing 3 at the back.

skarroki Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I'm fine with Baker going as long as we've got a young African footballer playing in ligue 1 lined up to replace him There were rumours about NKoulou.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
