A £10m or a £15m McCormack. Who gives a f**k? If McCormack is what we need in order to go up then PUT HIM ON THE PITCH. It shouldn't matter a damn to the fans. If RDM & Dr.X are happy to pay it then that's all that matters. "Oh but it might take away from another player". No. It won't. You really think they're that short-sighted that they haven't drawn up a list and a budget and are working within that? If you do think that then you've already no confidence in the management team and you'll see no good in anything they do regardless. Stop looking at transfer fee and start looking at who we're trying to buy. Because on matchday that's what ends up on the pitch. Not the bloody receipt they got from Fulham or whoever else we end up buying from. By the way, that's a general rant aimed at no-one in particular. It's just my usual utter bewilderment at the utterly redundant and endless discussions about how much someone costs. Why is it controversial or surprising for fans to consider the allocation of resources when resources aren't infinite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Don't know how reliable they are but according to HITC on twitter, Dwight Gale has agreed personal terms with Newcastle United. I mention it in this thread because, I know he's been talked about as a possible Villa target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Would anyone take Ruben Loftus-Cheek on loan from Chelsea? I know it's a long shot but I think he would be great for us 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a long shot but I think he would be great for us I don't think he will ever get into Chelsea's midfield so I would love to at least try to get him on loan then consider buying especially if we lose Gana, Westwood, and/or Veretout.

StanBalaban Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 No issue to Rickie Lambert coming in to the squad, as long as he's not viewed as our main striking option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 28, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2016 If it was a choice between Bamford or Mcormack I'd personally go for Mcormack. Obviously knows where the net is and has done it time and time again. Whilst he's 29... Who cares? If his goals get us out of that league then it's money well spent. If we can get a decent keeper and an experienced leader in the middle Park, add a winger or two, add them to Elphick and Mcormack and we've got a solid spine for the Championship imo.
