darkwingduck Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 We scored 2 again, and it's not like we were fluffing chances in the box except for Micah's chance. The space was just outside the box, and Gana, Westwood and Bacuna couldn't hit the target. I'd say we are more in need of a goal scoring mid (or Veretout to sort his shit out).

Danwichmann Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 After today's game I'm really hoping we get Lescott and Adebayor done. Defensively I don't think any individuals have been disastrous, although mistakes have been made and punished! But we're not quite a unit yet and Lescott's experience could make all the difference there. Upfront, we created so many chances we're just begging for a proven goal scorer to put them away. I think Adebayor would thrive (although clearly if he signs I'll actually have to learn to spell his name.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoring two today is great if you have 3 or 4 chances. With the chances we created today we should have been out of sight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh621 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 today is prove we still need in for 3 areas. 1) striker that replace benteke. Rudy is too static and easy closed down, and Ayew is not ready yet, and Kozak (should start him indeed Rudy, if he (Rudy) still not confience and less mobility) rudy can great player if he kept move around bit more and practise volley shot, and accuracy finisher. 2) sign right back, simpler to Amavi but right foot .... Trippier will be great choice i am gut he join spurs as we were in for him (i think).. should we try cheeky bid or loan K.walker again if he not regular RB as Trippier join them.... 3) centre half first choice partner with Richards - Lescott if he is cheap. (Lescott + Richards and Okore + Clark as back up) it is great options. i still dont know why Baker sign 5 years indeed Okore. I love how it says you've 'edited' this post. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we need a striker who can score. Yes. I'm saying really break it down- what type of chances couldn't we finish? The space to shoot was in behind. A striker wouldn't be filling those positions - meaning it's not a striker we need. As a side note, Rudy's hold up play is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villianusa Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Austin and Lescott would steer us in the right direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 1 of the goals was a penalty. We're not going to get free shots from 12 yards every game. Sunderland are probably the worst team in the league and their defence has been shocking so far. We certainly do need another striker. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 but Swansea only scored once against them so signs they are improving I dont think a striker is that big of an issue but I would like us to sign a player that can take a set-piece as we would be a lot more dangerous with Richards, Gestede and Lescott from corners plus we will win a lot of free kicks around the edge of box with and Jack and Gil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I said at the start of the window that i thought we would sign Adebayor on deadline day, he just seems the type that will weigh up all his options rather than being passionate about a particular move. I do think he would be perfect for us if we have Grealish, Gil & Adama behind him. Didn't Trent just imply he has a medical at west ham on Sunday? Maybe he simply gets off on having a medical. Finger up the arse and that. Who doesn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I think, if we can get lescott in and maybe a striker, we will have a proper squad to challenge the best of them. We should just have Sherwood to winge about then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Think we'll sign Adebayor, Lescott and possibly one more playmaker on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 West Ham were about to sign Simone Zaza on loan from Juve but it then fell through...worth a look as his goal record for Sassulo was excellent last season and starter for Italy now.
