A rb and CB badly needed imo.RB?! :|Yeah, providing richards is playing cb, they are all a bit pants.We have Hutton and Crespo so I don't understand why we'd need a third. Not an area that needs addressing again In the same window.Don't see either being good enough.So you've written Crespo off already? Yeah basically. How old is he? 28? and has come for 500k from a woeful cordoba side. He's not going to be that good is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Yeah my original point did say we needed a rb AND CB badly. We need a CB and a striker and maybe even another central midfielder before we look at getting another RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Salomon Rondon anyone? YES! However I suspect the club his agent was referring to is either Newcastle or Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I don't half love this football club, always have done, been going since i was 5 years old, it's how i was brought up, football always has been and is my life but I have learnt there is a lot more to life than football, even though football is my main passion in life, school friends and colleagues have always known me as "villa boy" but I take it as a compliment. I think slowly but surely, we are gradually improving as a football club and we have one of the best young managers in the game. I think his ability to get the best out of players is fantastic and he is only going to improve as a manager, providing that we can hold onto him but that may be the tricky part. I am very opimisic going into the new season and I just can't wait to be back at villa park, bring it on!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwpzxjor1 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Crespo was bought for his versatility I am sure, but doesn't mean to write him off. He'll be third choice right back, but can cover centre back, left back and even half decent in the holding mid apparently. I don't think he's under any illusions that he'll be first choice, we just need someone solid with no thrills we can call on when needed. For that role, I think he'll do well.
