AndJo Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Can't see us signing anybody else this window and not sure we really need to strengthen further. Think we have recruited well and once the French league players settle properly we should have a decent side. Would maybe like to see another forward brought in on loan to give us more options.

VillaChris Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 New forward is a must for me, anywhere else I think we can get through to January bar of course major injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cridontour Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Spurs in for Embolo.http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/tottenham-favourites-sign-breel-embolo-6229416? Wishful thinking we might follow up our interest now after signing Ayew and Gestede. I still think Adebayor will happen late in the window. Personally I'd rather we went for Oulare if we could be greedy and have another striker. Edited August 11, 2015 by Cridontour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostarapter Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Avenotti,Praet and Traore are doing the rounds again,but with Tim saying the English based thing I'm not to sure. For some reason I think the Praet thing has got legs with the Birmingham Mail story. Traore I would love but Lennon more likely and as for Avenotti well I don't no who he is but his name has come up a lot. From what I have read he is Rudy type player so I gues he was just on the list and we got Rudy instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post David-Copenhagen Posted August 11, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2015 I am still puzzled that we got Rudy for 6 mill. As a plan B striker he is awesome for any club in the world. And for us he might be like PW after we sold Gray. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Would love us to sign Van Dijk from Celtic, apparently they may sell, Southampton are looking to bid for him at £7million. Would be a quality centre back! Just need another striker + Traore hopefully and it will be an awesome summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Praet would be like getting Sneijder before he blossomed. They should just for the investment. This is a deal begging to be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the reported £7m Praet would be an excellent signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Even after Adama Traore we are in profit. C'mon Randy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Boilesen? It seems weird to me that this one's coming round again and probably lazy journalism. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/08/11/report-aston-villa-interested-in-nicolai-boilesen-asking-price-s/ It would make a lot of sense to me if he could offload either or both of the other LB's that aren't Amavi. Without ever seeing him play I'm happy to believe he's better than Richardson or Bennett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Even after Adama Traore we are in profit. C'mon Randy.... We really aren't. Unless we've sold somebody for £7m and I missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 11, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 11, 2015 7.7 Amavi10.0 Ayew0.5 Crespo6.0 Gestede9.0 Gueye2.5 Sinclair8.0 Veretout----43.7 28.8 Benteke (32.5 - 15% of profit (24.5m))8.0 Delph2.5 Weimann1.0 Lowton*0.5 Sylla*-----40.8 So on that basis Traore would see us starting to spend actual net money (<- there's that word!) Richards & Bunn in + Bent, Burke, Given & Stevens out were all freebies. * Total guesses but seems reasonable estimateEDITED for Genk sell-on clause.

Marley the Bognor Villan Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) SSN reporting the traore rumours too now. hopefully show him off before the manc game then add balanta next week and a striker on deadline day. any one of embolo, oulare or james wilson will do for me Edit: may as well sign a new GK while we're at it. cheers Edited August 11, 2015 by Marley the Bognor Villan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 11, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Do we still need a centre back? I think so. Am I the only one thinking if we signed Adama, Balanta and a new striker we'd actually have too many good players? It's a nice problem to have I guess , but it's one I'm not used to us having.

For me, we have 4, plus whatever we have coming through from the academy. Even if we let Senderos go, 5 if we keep him. I'm not sure we need 6 CBs.

Wainy316 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 But we have 5 centre backs, and Tim obvious values them all giving the one we'd consider bottom of the pile a new deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
