jacketspuds Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Biggest problem will be that we will have to pay teams to take the majority of this piss poor squad off our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Would like us to try for Anthony Limbombe (NEC) in summer We was linked with him under Lambert when he was playing in Belgium. 19 goals in 50 for a winger for them!! They turned down £1mil approach from Leeds for him in January. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Limbombe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is quality I have mentioned him on here before we well!! If we could sign him could easily be our best goalscoring midfielder since David Platt! He bangs them in for fun for Gillingham! Bristol City had a bid rejected in January for him which was around £2mil. So he wouldn't come cheap! Edited March 15, 2016 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Kemar Roofe looks decent. Still hope we move for Zach Clough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but normally these threads are full of people wanting us to sign 'XXX' from wherever for £10m because he's good on some computer game. Now it's, this has been clogger from Barnet might be slightly less shite than the turds we have in our current squad. How depressing.

Christian Santos is out of contract in summer. Navarone Foor of NEC is as well! He sets up a fair few for Santos. Those 2 and Limbombe are all worth looking at!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How low can we go? He is one of the best players in League 1 (in least the top 5 players in that league) you donut! Bet you was saying the same about Dele Alli when he was at MK Dons and we was linked with him wasn't you Shaun Teale was bought in from Bournemouth, Mark Delaney from Cardiff and many other examples of lower league players we have bought that are streets ahead of shite like Richards and other cloggers we have at moment. I'd take those players over anything we have at moment Edited March 15, 2016 by Villan4Life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I've got no problem with signing lower league players, IF they are the quality ones that perform for their clubs. We've signed too many that aren't even the best at their league 1 club! Westwood, Lowton, Stevens, Bennett, Bunn to name a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing to do with the player, it's just the general situation the club is in where signing league one players or whoever for £1.7m is now our level. We should be buying players for £20 million. We are Aston villa not Lincoln xxxxing city. Edited March 15, 2016 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had plenty of luck signing players for little money from unfashionable places in the past, okay not so much in recent years, but we just have to get it right.

We've signed too many that aren't even the best at their league 1 club! Westwood, Lowton, Stevens, Bennett, Bunn to name a few the weird thing about those players was that none of the was the star player of their clubs. Westwood had been outshined and outperformed by a younger Nick Powell, Bunn was second choice at Norwich, stevens, Bennett and Lowton were just decent players in their clubs. Weird that we signed them expecting them to improve a premier league club. If we sign lower league players, then they have to be the star players of the division, otherwise they are not good enough to step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just something very odd about most of our recruitment over the past 4 years or so. We usually put this down to incompetent bungling on the part of people who didn't know enough about football with an inadequately resourced scouting system. But sometimes I do wonder whether there is a little more to this than just bungling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
