We need to rid the squad of rocket polishers, not add them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it is a bit fun looking for a half-decent player that may actually play for us. Plenty of talent out there in France..... Ukraine, Poland, Iceland even Albania the way they're playing tonight. My realistic tips..... Halldorson (Iceland keeper), 32 yrs looked very comfortable plucking crosses out of the air full stretch, also Jeff Hendrick (Ireland midfielder) currently at Derby County - played really well against Sweden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get used to the lifestyle out there and he loved his time here. He's spoken to Villa, but not a clue if any offer has been made. I'd guess Di Matteo is the one pushing it, maybe he still knows people at Lazio? Everyone knows the positives and negatives, if you can get him playing, he'll be a star. There's some really shite info for you Well that does link up with his Twitter post a couple of days ago. It appears his attitude previously has stunk. Maybe a couple of seasons on the fringe, being cut out of the Lazio team after a couple of games, seeing one his best mate win the league because he busted a gut may have changed his perspective on things. I think I trust RDM on this one. Given how much he has gone on about attitude today, if he signs, to me RDM trusts his attitude has changed and he could become a real asset. If he has spoken to RDM and he doesn't sign, to me that says he still got the attitude so will be glad for him to stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phumfeinz Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Don't need two strikers (unless Ayew leaves). Definitely need a new keeper. And midfield. And right back. And central defen etc etc Edited June 15, 2016 by Phumfeinz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needed a hug and a bit confidence. Had he been here under MON he would have been incredible for us, but we've had a string of managers since that are terrible at man management and handling big egos. I liked Ireland though, he was a bit of clearing in the woods at times but nothing compared to the kinds of words removed we're dealing with at the club now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I think there was a few false expectations on him, based on the one season he had at Man CIty where he played with Robinho and was a big creative outlet for them. But that was one off, previous to that he'd just been a decent box to box midfielder with a bit of skill (like Milner but not as good) and has been since really, although obviously didn't work out for him here.

KSV Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Ayew Gestede.. two new strikers (Bamford and Mcormack?) and Hepburn Murphy as back up. We wont be shy of goals in that side. We must think of the future too.. if we get promoted.. we dont want to clean up the squad and rebuild again.. so can any of these players step up and play in the Premier League? Besides Ayew.. unlikely. So its a tough gig for RDM to bring in a player that may also have the potential to bang them in. Unless we get them on 2 year deals or on loan. Bamford on loan makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted June 16, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) That was my concern too, if we build a squad to win the championship, we then need to build again next year... But didn't Xia say that RDM had a 3 phased plan for rebuilding over the next three seasons? Like with Elphick he sounds like he'll be great in the Champ and a ready made captain, but when we're back in the PL do we want to get rid of our captain again because he's not PL quality? Can't see any other way round it though really, especially with the bag of crap squad we have. Edited June 16, 2016 by alreadyexists 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the only option is to buy and make our first team the back up players and sell the back up players from the previous season. So Elphick this season may be first choice with Okore but next season they could be 3rd and 4th choice. Its hard to do though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubby Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 To be honest I want to see the return of the good old fashioned 4-4-2 at Villa, football is devoid of grit and momentum in these European systems - Arsenal a good example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
