However due to his personal issues in the past and us acting like we are morally "holier than thou" we never did deals like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Starting an Everton old boys team? Barry, Osman, maybe Pienaar while we're at it? By the way, what up with Mason Holgate, could he do a job for us on loan next season? Edited April 20, 2016 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I want to stay away from loans unless we can get the buy clauses in there, a mixture of Everton old boys and Chelsea yoof and we'll have a better team Wipould probably end up with Gibson rather than Barry or osman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villastine Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 That Bannan lad at Sheffield Wednesday looks good. He just got in the Championship team of the year though so might be out of our reach. 😈 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted April 22, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 22, 2016 Can't believe some people want more fading average premier league players , have we learnt nothing ? Look at Leicester and Spurs squads, 2 years ago most of the players they have would have been unknown, we need to learn from all the mistakes we have made, the championship is an ideal chance to change. For example we could look at some league one players who are at the top of their game and are young and hungry enough to push on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted April 22, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 22, 2016 Luongo, Mooy, Lyden, Jedinak, Rogic. That's midfield sorted. Strangely cohesive midfield too... I wonder why that is? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Highly rated Jamaican midfielder/winger, Leon Bailey (17 years old) in Belgium, apparently has interest from alot of top clubs. Probably the kind of deals we should be trying to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFg2w_aaioE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young and hungry was the Paul Lambert model which set up the relegation which was cemented in the summer with our transfer committee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 22, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 22, 2016 As should have been the case all along, we need a mixture. A few young and hungry players, a few seasoned pros, and few cheap(er) foreign signings and a few academy prospects. I honestly think if you added 3 or 4 seasoned pros to our current squad we'd be in good shape. Obviously we'll need more players than that for rotation and to account for players leaving. But that's where we're lacking most. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think loan deals are about as good as it is going to get in the short term at least and what is the point in looking to agree a sale price when that might stop a deal being done and when we have no budget to purchase such players in any case? We need to look at bringing in players that are at the end of their contract that we would only need to agree wages and a signing on fee for such as Bentley from Southend before someone else gets them and to ask the likes of the Manchester clubs, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs whether they can loan us a player or two and pay a chunk of their salary for us. But no doubt nothing will happen and we will watch other teams strengthen whilst we wait, wait and wait again for the phantom takeover to happen and for a new manager who can decide on a transfer policy to arrive.

nnock1984 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 For me, every single one of these players needs to go in the next 3 windows. There's not one id be say to lose! Bring some kids through and add about 20 players in the next 3 Windows with British league experience. Add that to a new owner and a new manager and see where it takes us.

As much as I hate the prick, he'd be a great signing if Burnley decide he's not up to the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Joey Barton, Gareth Barry, and Charlie Adam would be good short term buys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got enough PL experience and he can still do a job there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
