VillaChris Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I've watched a lot of Marseille this season and last (they're the ideal team for my betting formulas) and I have to say Mandanda is a fantastic keeper. I'm not as harsh on Guzan as most on this forum but Mandanda would certainly be an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted December 21, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2015 I'd have both Naismith and Walters in a heartbeat. Those two and Ayew up front would be an absolute nightmare to play against and I'd be confident enough of Ayew scoring the goals while the other two chip in. Plus, you know, Championship ready. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Walters signed a new deal at Stoke last month and is happy there so not sure where that link has come from. He'll comfortably make the R.O.I squad so doubt that's an issue. I would take Naismith but didn't realise he was nearly 30. And also thought 3-4m would do the trick not 7m. I wouldn't want us paying that tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanO Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Once again linked with a load of player's hardly anyone has heard of, I guess this club will always be run on the cheap under Lerner. We had a chance in the summer but sadly for us whoever it was in charge of getting the player's in must have missed out on plan A, B and C targets and aquired the D plus player's. The only one who looks like he's going to be good enough is Ayew. Go on get excited about these no names if you want, god knows there has been little else to get excited about but it'll make no difference come February/March when we are relegated. I recall reading that Gana was using us as a stepping stone to getting to one of the "big" clubs hahaha, to do that you would need to be a bloody good player but he's typical of the player's we signed, absolutely useless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 22, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 22, 2015 Wouldn't be against a decetn replacement for Guzan, but think other areas of the pitch would have a much bigger impact. Can't believe we would get Mandanda but it would be a great signing if we do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Keyblade Posted December 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2015 Naismith would be an amazing signing, he would be perfect for us. I can't even fathom how people are turning their nose up at him especially when we have Sinclair starting up there every week. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Naismith would be an improvement but that says more about our current position than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Not sure on Naismith, he has scored a few for Everton but then again Everton have a much better team all round. I think Naismith would be crap here mainly due the dross he would have to play with week in week out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've not heard of them. If you've not heard of Steve Mandanda or Jeremy Toulalan then you're the one living in a bubble. Your last sentence is absolute nonsense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) Mandanda was one of like 8 players in world football in the FIFA menus a few seasons back. He's a very, very well known player. It's like saying you've never heard of Petr Cech. And Toulalan has 36 caps for France. Fantastic player in his day, haven't watched him recently. Just realised you used NZog as an example of a French international He played in 2 friendlies, playing 117 minutes in total Edited December 22, 2015 by StefanAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Mandanda is apparently being watched by Everton and Liverpool, if that's true then that's a non starter Toulanan plays for AS Monaco so I doubt he would leave there for us, he's probably better off money wise in Monaco too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted December 22, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 22, 2015 Naismith would be an excellent signing. Decent player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
