guyavfc Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 What's clear to me is that we are lacking quality in wide attacking areas. We get in such promising positions out wide but no one can beat a man and whip the ball in, we just pass it centrally and slow down the play. I realise we have traore but he is injured and unproven, Sinclair isn't good enough. I'm sure we would have scored 2 or 3 with Ashley young on the wing last night. I think we should try and get Townsend on loan if possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Saw this on Vital Villa. Villa had scouts as the game other night (Paços de Ferreira vs Vitoria Setubul) watching these two apparently http://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premiership/aston-villa-eye-exciting-swoop-for-portuguese-attacking-duo/#5hOvozvhf0db1SdJ.97 Quote Aston Villa fans at the bar who are debating whether their pint glass is half full or half empty will be hoping that their scouting team have been successful after it was reported by clubcall.com that their club are interested in signing a pair of Portuguese attackers. The Villans’ scouts enjoyed impressive performances by Paços de Ferreira’s Diogo Jota and Bruno Moreira during their 2-1 win over Vitoria Setubal. Villa are reported to have been actively tracking targets in Portugal over the past few weeks. Whispers around the small circles who follow Portuguese football in the Tavern indicate that Jota is the better of the two talents, with the 19-year old also linked with a transfer to Benfica, though Pacos are said to be resisting his departure in the January transfer window. The winger, named the Portuguese Primeira Liga’s Player of the Month in October and November, is an impressive young talent and would inject the energy and trickery that the Villa fans around the Tavern want in Remi Garde’s. Moreira is also an impressive player, however, and it is the striker who scored both goals in their recent win to keep Pacos in the hunt for a European place, registering his 10th and 11th leagues goals this term in the process. The 28-year old is a journeyman forward who has previously plied his trade for Chaves, CSKA Sofia and Moreirense, but he has finally found his form over the past two seasons, netting 21 goals in 36 starts for Pacos. Unlike Jota, Moreira is out of contract at the end of the season and Pacos could be tempted into selling their top scorer to ensure that they cash-in while they can in the January transfer window. Our resident Aston Villa fans feel that the pair of Portuguese attackers could both be hidden gems and bolster their attack as they look to rise from the bottom of the Premier League table.

Kingman Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Put this in another thread but better in here. Dear Tom, Good to see the organisation skills are in full swing, Meeting in Lerner to discuss funds for potential signings or loans in mid January is better than Transfer deadline day you might say. I understand you have been busy over the festive buying presents and eating food so was unable to do any sort of earlier preparations as you are a very busy man Anyhow on other news Aston Villa, Just a small reminder that Rome's Still **** Burning and Its mid January, We have signed **** all and we are now entering shit creek without a paddle! Any thoughts of pressing the sanction button to give us a glimmer of hope after the boys run through walls last night. Its a possibility it may just give us a lift with some new faces in town, especially one who can stick the ball in the back of the net! Take you're time but hurry the **** up! Thanks.

jacketspuds Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Disappointing that Sunderland have already signed 1 CB, plus likely to sign another as well as a striker whilst we seemingly plod along as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arj Guy Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Ffs Villa it's the 13th of Jan and we've done absoloutely **** all. No short term loan signings, no good championship players to prepare us for next season. We're barely even getting linked to anyone. The word 'prepared' needs to be removed from our shitty badge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word 'prepared' needs to be removed from our shitty badge I fully understand your frustration, we all feel it. We have plenty of shit at the club right now but no need to insult the clubs badge, ok prepared we ain't but it's still not shitty. Maybe the issue is that these players who said no may be willing to change their minds if results improve and there's a fighting chance. RG might to wait and see before going to plan B, probably not but just thinking out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 What can we expect really? We've already been told players are turning us down. Beat Leicester and West Brom and we might have a hope of some signings in the last week of the window. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Need to capitalise on the momentum from last night and build on that with a couple of good signings. Do you think Lerner realises? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Beat Leicester and we might go again. I can see us waiting to see where we are on deadline day and pulling out a Darren Bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Lerner realises? Completely agree with you here Richard, if ever there was a right time it is now! Imagine, a couple in and on the bench for Saturday, would lift the crowd and players no end! Still can't think of who would be good though - Remy on loan to partner Ayew would be good but not likely I suppose. Townsend on loan? Debuchy on loan? No doubt we may have tried but they won't come. Strike while the iron is hot Mr Lerner/Mr Fox!!! Edited January 13, 2016 by ferguson1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 13, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2016 Never heard of him, or seen him play. But apparently he is a centreback who can play in defensive midfield. Sounds ideal... if he's any good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I prefer this. Bristol City have joined Aston Villa in the race for Claudio Beauvue. The striker only joined Lyon in the summer from Guingamp after scoring 17 goals in Ligue 1 last season. However, since the move, the 27-year-old has failed to find the form that made him so dangerous last term. Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has now admitted Beauvue and the club are discussing his departure - sparking interest from England. Bristol City, according to L'Equipe, are very keen on the Guadeloupean and are willing to splash £5m to secure his signature. Aston Villa have also expressed an interest and Lyon are now set to hold talks with the two clubs. http://talksport.com/football/bristol-city-ready-rival-aston-villa-lyon-striker-ps5m-move-160113180982#4ggIljpmyQ2P6gxv.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
