Alakagom Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 De Vrij? Lazio can't be paying him that much. Been linked to United..Lazio play in CL as well.. would make no sense for him to move to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted August 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) It is abundantly clear that we are a very good, experienced centre half away from being a very good side. But it's such a crucial position, we could falter badly without one. I think we need one more than we need Adebayor, let's put it that way. Both would be preferable. Disagree. We just need to score one more -> Ade. Edited August 1, 2015 by AVTuco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 We should bid for Shawcross Stoke would want minimum 15m for him and he loves it there, would only go if top 6 team came in for him. He would be a great fit with what we lack there currently, great leader and organiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Hard to find those domineering centre backs though. If they're out there Id guess Man Utd would have thrown money at them along with every other club. Not saying there aren't a few gems out there, just generally suggesting that world football is lacking a few top centre backs. Luiz made the world cup team did he not ffs. I miss God.

Xela Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I suggested Ashley Williams at the start of the thread, and it was thought to be incredibly unrealistic. Despite him signing a new deal recently, I imagine he would be tempted to come here now, following our spending spree (and the fact he's a Villa fan!) Williams is a good defender but he's not a Villa fan, he's a self confessed Liverpool fan. I'd still have him though, even despite that shocking lack of judgement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Thomas Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 If possible, we should also look for CB who is resilient i.e has played a few seasons with no serious injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 They could stack the treatment tables in front of the goal. Would be quite useful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl the Pearl Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) If we've bid for a United player, I'd really like Valencia. He would bring leadership, experience and pace to the team. In reality it's probably Johnny Evans. I think an experienced CB is our main priority. Edited August 1, 2015 by Earl the Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOM_VILLA_SCO Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 maybe man u are just too big a team for johnny evans, perhaps he would flourish at us, where he'd be one of the more experienced players in the dressing room. still not sure i see the logic in giving baker a new deal, a new cb will push him down the pecking order further and he's already behind; clark, okore, richards, a fit senderos. if it came to a situation where those four and a new cb where unavailable, crespo or donacien would fill in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Evans would be an excellent signing in my opinion. I think it's about time he took the step towards being the main man, I think he'd thrive on it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Alan Nixon mentions us being after a GK on his Twitter page, I wonder if this had anything to do with Tim's trip to Malaga?.... Ochoa isn't first choice there, coincidence?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
