Potentially though, I think Villa are a lot better. Huddersfield also appear to have a fight on their hands to keep Wells who is attracting a lot of interest from other clubs. Villa on the other hand will improve further between now and the end of the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also had a shot cleared off the line and the Kozak chance against Derby, though admittedly we didn't click as well in that game as we have done previously. I would say that overall we are creating plenty and it's a bit too soon for me to start wondering about home/away trends. I also think that players creating chances for themselves counts as a chance created. I'm confident that our first XI will score goals, but I'm not confident we have the depth required to do so for another 42 games. A striker is absolute priority for me at the moment and I'm pleased that they seem to feel the same. I'd also say we are building from the back. Our biggest issue was stupid defensive errors. The team is starting to gel now and I think we will start looking better going forwards too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 So sounds like we might after a winger after all, Zaha's team mate Sako might be a good alternative proven in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 1 hour ago, sne said: Not sure signing an aging striker with his prime behind his is the way to go. IF we get the right one (like Klose) it would of course be fantastic, but odds are we'll end up with someone looking for a last payday who's only motivation to come here is massive wages. We really could do without a striker version of Lescott. Best signing we can do is someone who will make it possible for Ayew to play up front rather than as a wide midfielder (IMO) IF it did turn out to be Drogba surely it would obviously be just an attempt at getting a proven striker to get us the goals in order to try to get out of the Championship at the first time of asking? The guy has scored 19 goals in 25 games so obviously still knows where the back of the net is, even if that league isn't much of a standard. The Championship isn't all that either, if we are honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanBalaban Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Jermaine Defoe anyone? With Sunderland "preparing" themselves for another relegation battle, could Julie finally be tempted to release him from her hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're good candidates to be relegated with him, they'd be a certainty without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 You'd think they wouldn't let Kaboul and Kone go, but they've sold one of them and banned the other, because he wants to leave. I don't think we'll sign Defoe but wouldn't be surprised if he left for another Premier team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have Defoe-He is the only player in their team who would get into ours. However, I get the feeling that he feels an obligation to them. It's a bit different to Bent, who had a career still in front of him. Defoe is playing out his swansong. He's 33 now and can't have much left in him. I think he'd prefer to stick rather than twist at this stage. Pity-He's wasted in such a dire side, he'd be great here for18 months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukes Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Anybody know how Huntelaar and RDM got on while they were together at Shalke ? It does seem he did ok during that season (14 goas in 37 games). He'd rip this league apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 https://youtu.be/b7B2fD2ShSQ Just watching this video of Bony, the soundtrack being 'daddy cool' Now I'm related to Maizie Williams of Boney M, so I've taken this as a sign from McGrath that we are signing Bony.

useless Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Probably won't be Bony because he'd be yet another striker that we'd lose to the Africa international tournament in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 22, 2016 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2016 What was I thinking, if its a world class striker there is only one possible person it could be... Nicklas Bendtner! ;) Can't wait for this one, could be the most exciting signing since Bent arrived. (no I don't know who it is) I've a feeling though it won't be someone we've been linked with or that we've been discussing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
