I still think we might look to bring in another striker as well but that's just a hunch. Exactly this. Think we might see one or two of these this week - CB and CM. Not sure if we'll see the RB at all, but feel like another striker will arrive in the next couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Right back, central defender, box-to-box midfielder, playmaker. Additionally it might be worth getting another goalkeeper a winger and another striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted August 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2016 Tony gets riled by Holloway and splurges the cash the following day - we should get Tony wound up more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Since Jedinak has been placed on the menu, I have no appetite for anyone else. ( Sorry, cooking dinner and I am hungry) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Combative, experienced centre mid for me is absolute priority. It's important to know what is going on with Adama. If he's staying and they are confident on his fitness then I'm good with our attacking options now. Goal McGoalface, Ayew, Grealish, Adama and Green is a good "team A" with some ok players and some youth behind them. Alternatively if Adama and/or another are to leave that's priority number two. I wouldn't be averse to expanding our options there regardless. Then a right back. As long as he isn't heavily relied upon Hutton is fine. I wish we would sack Bacuna off but we've heard zilch regarding that. We can only legitimately carry a certain number of players before the coaching becomes diluted. We need to shift some proper dead wood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Tony. Holloway said that Jedinak would be a perfect fit for Newcastle! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think we might look to bring in another striker as well but that's just a hunch. Yeah I'd go with that. If it was a 38 game season I think we'd probably be OK with the amount of centrebacks that we have, but given that it's 46 and it'll be more rough and tumble I suspect we may need that extra one. Whether it's a starter or a backup I don't know. I'm comfortable going into the season with Elphick plus either of Okore or Baker alongside him tbqh.

Although I suspect he may not fancy the comedown from Spurs to Villa at this present moment. How depressing it even is to be writing that previous sentence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted August 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2016 You can replace the word spurs with Bournemouth, Middlesborough even Hull currently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'm probably being greedy but I'd still like some pace upfront to stretch teams. By all accounts that's not McCormack. Also I'd be throwing everything at it to get Jedinak think he's exactly what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Kieran Trippier would be a superb purchase. Unlikely, but superb. Wasn't there a comment from someone somewhere (could be Xia, RDM or a journo so nice and vague!) that we'd be looking for a creative midfielder to fill Gueye's position? I assumed that meant "squad wise" rather than literal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 tough word removed CM, right back, left sided CB still to sign for me. I think we have enough behind the CF in Grealish, Ayew, Traore, Veretout, Green. An old school 'left midfielder' who doesn't cut in would be nice too to add a different dimension.

StanBalaban Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 An experienced CM like Jedinak or, dare I dream, Barry would be fantastic. Add Morrison to the mix and we'll comfortably have the best players in the league in key positions. The prospect of Grealish, Morrison, Ayew and McCormack combining, with hopefully Adama and Green coming off the bench, whilst being held together by Tish and a new CM gives me a lot of hope for the season.

danjmorris93 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2016/08/02/aston-villa-fans-urge-club-to-sign-mile-jedinak-after-report-cla/ ^ love this, got to go all out for Jedinak now Aston Villa fans have been placed on red alert after a report from the Daily Mail emerged on Tuesday which claimed that Crystal Palace are looking for a buyer for experienced midfielder Mile Jedinak. Jedinak has fallen out of favour at Selhurst Park under Alan Pardew, playing greatly reduced roles in the last two years as the Eagles look to kick on and add more quality to their starting XI.

Shit me, if Barry now came back we would be completely sorted, captains throughout the first 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
