VillaChris Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 ----------------------Bunn-------------------------- Crespo------Okore-------Baker-------Richardson --------------Sanchez---Westwood--------------- Sinclair---------------Gil----------------N'Zogbia ----------------------Kozak------------------------ I think that's as good a second eleven as we've had for a while. I've been away for bit, I hear there was quite a bit going on. Ironic thing is a few weeks ago that was looking like an 11 we'd have to field in the prem and now it's the virtual reserve team!

NoelVilla Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It looks good except that Richards is a starting CB in to many lineups. I would like to see an upgrade there and then I will be sure we will not be in a relegation battle. Before I get slated for putting down a player who haven't even played for us yet. I do dislike this argument. I have seen a lot of football. I believe I can rate a player. I have seen Richards play a lot of times. He is not magically going to improve just because he puts on a claret & blue shirt. Not against us signing him but as a starter. Just NO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I can see some players start to moan about playing time, namely Okore. It'll be a tough juggling act for TS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_eristic Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 -----------------Guzan--------------------- -----------Richards---Clark-------------- Bacuna---------------------------Amavi-- -------Gueye-Veretout-(Praet?)-------- -------------------Gil------------------------ ------------------------Ayew---------------- ------------Gestede------------------------ Probably too small in the middle and a little exposed out wide, though, unless we're going for our take on tiki-taka. Think it'll more likely be Sanchez in front of the defenders. Will surely see a classic 4-3-3 at some point, too, with Gresford and/or Sinclair. It looks good except that Richards is a starting CB in to many lineups. Not ideal, but inevitable, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Didn't Ayew play centre forward last season? I think we'll play two up front and a diamond formation like last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just NO.I have a feeling that Sherwood has signed him to play centre-back, which is why most people are putting him in their teams. He's played in the middle in all the friendlies, so I find it hard to believe that Sherwood will suddenly switch him to right-back. What could be likely though, is Sherwood bringing in a better player to partner him in the middle, leaving Clark, Okore and Baker as back-ups.

The Fun Factory Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 As i read somewhere else it's a bit like BFR first season after selling Platt, and totally ripping up a side that has just come 17th. As long as we end up 7th and then 2nd I will be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 We've gone from buying bargain bucket players to potentially very good, very very good players. Yes they will need time to find their feet, but this will bean exciting journey.

dogbonus Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 -----------Guzan Hutton Richards Clark Amavi Well, I get that far and... I sort of expect -----------Westwood --------Gueye-----Veretout with ----------Gil-----Grealish -------------Gestede But if Adebayor comes, should I replace Gestede... Or play both and drop Grealish for lack of preseason? Or maybe leave out Veretout, as he's just arrived and leave Grealish in... But maybe I should play Ayew just ahead of Gil instead and running off one of Gestede or Adebayor... But one big man leaves us short of height and there's Kozak to consider and... Oh... I haven't got much width, so what about Sinclair? Or maybe Bacuna for Hutton? And where am I playing Berbatov! I think my head might explode... We're Aston Villa. We're not supposed to have choices, are we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

switters Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 We've got huge squad currently. Could pretty much field three different themed teams: Premier league veterans: Guzan Hutton-Richards-Senderos-Richardson Sinclair-Westwood-Cole-N'Zogbia Agbonlahor-Adebayor(?) The Franco-Spanish crew (+Bacuna & Okore): GK* Bacuna-Crespo-Okore-Amavi Gueye-Sanchez-Vertout Ayew-Gestede-Gil Young/homegrown Brits: Steer Donacien-Baker-Clark-Bennett Gardner-Calder-Mason Sellars-Robinson-Grealish plus I couldn't fit Kozak, Cissokho or Tonev.. *we need to sign De Gea or Lloris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcKenna Posted August 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 1, 2015 As i read somewhere else it's a bit like BFR first season after selling Platt, and totally ripping up a side that has just come 17th. As long as we end up 7th and then 2nd I will be happy. And in the first game of that season 91/92 we played Sheffield Wednesday (BFR having just left them). SW fans really laid into BFR as a "Judas". He bought in nine new players, 6 made their debut. We were 2-0 down till the 42nd, the SW fans were having a field day and we were playing like a bunch of misfits. Then Cyrille Regis pulled one back just before the end of the half. In the 2nd we played out of our skins with Paul Mortimer equalising and Dalian Atkinson getting the winner. So 3 of our new players scored!! Great game! Would accept same result against Bournemouth!! Wouldn't be great for the nerves though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
