I Maintain that Christoffer Nyman from IFK Norrköping would be a good signing. Will leave in the summer since his contract is up after the season, probably cost less than £350k. One of the best players last season when they won the league, 23 y.o and on the brink of breaking into the national side (his former manager will take over after the summer) Incredibly hard working and has a knack for being in the right place at the right time. Creates as much as he scores by making runs and stretching the opponents defense. Would be a very solid squad player with great potential to develop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we have since turned to sh#t and they have improved is irrelevant. Its like slagging Fergie for not starting Pogba, Mourinho for not starting Matic the first time, it why Barca insist on buy back clauses. Times change, but Cahill aside, who was adamant he wanted to leave, was anyone too bothered when Davis and Albrighton left? They look the same players to me now as they did then they just moved to an environment which allowed them to reach their potential. I knew all three would be success stories when they left. All of them were good enough for us at the time and if played regularly under a good manager they would have developed the same way at Villa.

How good is Sam Johnson, scored 17 in 41 for Djurgardens. African Strikers usually do well in English football so might be worth a bid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure we would be able to get a work permit for him thou, or if he's good enough for the Championship yet. Probably other Swedes at this forum who has better knowledge of him than me, but I think he just signed a new long contract with Djurgården...

El-Reacho Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 After Robbie Brady apparently. I'd be happy with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Wouldn't mind Brady, pretty fast, has a good cross on him and chips in with goals. Just hope that dosen't mean Amavi is off... 1 minute ago, AshVilla said: Just got promoted with Hull didn't he why would he come to the championship He plays for Norwich now.

VillaChris Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Fair enough. Him and Amavi would be a strong left side for the championship. Hope it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Depends where RDM sees him playing - is equally effective at RW as he is at RB. Would cover a few positions and takes a cracker free kick. Can't see Norwich letting him go cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Think I've seen an article claiming Norwich wanted £12m for him, can't see us paying anything close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I'd go for Hendrick while we're at it - best pals with Brady apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Is someone like Sam Larsson of Heerenveen a realistic option to look at? Very good player and scores a fair amount of goals. Hakim Ziyech who is a player i rate highly but would be too above us now unfortunately and apparently is close to moving to Swansea for around £6.5mil. That would be a steal at that price Nick Powell would be a good option on a bosman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Would very much like Brady. It would leave me wondering about Amavi, teams at the championship level don't tend to have two players of that quality in one specific position. Perhaps there would be scope to move Amavi further forward. I'd not be averse to that on this occasion, I think he'd rip the championship a new one wherever he played.

Villan4Life Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Pele Van Anholt (Patrick's brother) is on a bosman he is 21 and played 127 games for Heerenveen. Pretty good right back but only 5ft 5 Worth a punt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that prices might be getting inflated by the premier league tv deal. Just read an article where watford are quoting £32m for troy deeney!!
