Popular Post alreadyexists Posted July 13, 2016 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2016 If we can field something like this (it is a bit of a leap I know including Bamford and others linked with leaving) then I think we'd be in with a shot of a finish towards the top of the league.

Gollini Richards Elphick Okore Amavi Gana Tshibola Adama Grealish Ayew Bamford I'd be surprised if Ayew is here by the start of the season hence why I think we need two strikers and Grealish isn't a winger really so a left sided creative midfielder is needed. Grealish can play in other formations we are bound to need during the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see Jack get in the side more too, so maybe wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullet you say, maybe Dr Xia is giving us a cryptic clue about our new forward. Bullet = Detective Jake Bullet from Red Dwarf, which is Kryten, who looks a lot like Joe Lolley of Huddersfield Town FC and former VT poster. There you go case solved, our new forward is Joe Lolley.

useless Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Full back linked, Gregg Cunningham. Preston player of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaninireland Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Richards should be nowhere near the pitch IMHO. Liability wherever he plays & his attitude stank last season. We definitely need a new right back . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynnchin84 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Aston Villa are weighing up a move for Preston North End defender Gregg Cunningham, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club. The Republic of Ireland international enjoyed a fantastic debut season for Simon Grayson's side and he was named as Players' Player of the Season as well as Fans' Player of the Season at the club's end of season awards. Cunningham made 46 appearances in all competitions and played a key role in helping Preston to a successful campaign in their first season back in the Championship. Cunningham's form has alerted several of Preston's Championship rivals and Aston Villa are keeping a close eye on his situation at Deepdale as Roberto Di Matteo looks to bolster his full-back options. Cunningham is entering the final year of his contract at Preston after signing a two-year contract on his arrival from Bristol City last summer.

Plus he shares the same surname as my family so instantly, he'll be our hero . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I was hoping that he'd be a right-back. He plays left defence as well seemingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollini Richards Elphick Okore Amavi Gana Tshibola Adama Grealish Ayew Bamford This is pretty much how I see it, although I'd have Ayew up top with Grealish in behind and then spend big on a new left winger. You could even put Amavi there and play Cissokho as a left back as I think Amavi is good enough to play a more advanced role. Height at centre back is still a worry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cissokho is one of the worst left backs we've had at Villa... (One of, I know we have had plenty). I hope he is nowhere near our team next year.

I hope he is nowhere near our team next year. Not having that mate. When he came back from loan he made our defence better. As much as he could do alone anyway. He was average, but did actually stop some attacks and crosses coming in from the left. Better then Richardson all day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
