Demitri_C Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Just now, Warnock said: So if we're paying more than £8M for him must mean he's going to be a key player, which I thinks a little unfair on Baker but hey ho. Id rather be in a position where we have the option of using tommy, baker or chester than keeping baker happy. Baker is also so injury prone its ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely after yesterday's debacle extreme measures needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Our weakness is at RB, so I'd be paying over the odds to get someone in there as priority. Not saying we don't need one more, but wouldn't pay over $8 million for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Football has truly gone mad. I know we're desperate but more than £8m for a defender who wasn't good enough to get in the West Brom side? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Serious money, in the long term, it is quite uninspiring, but we must get used to our rightful status. We are a Championship team with smattering of PL quality, with a below Championship standard defence, we have too many players with fragile confidence and a questionable attitude. Chester fits the bill nicely, I'd be pleased. It's not my money either. I think he'd be reasonable back up in the PL too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to pay over the odds if we want to get promoted this season. Oh and would rather an owner willing to do this not making rdm use richards like randy would have.

S-Platt Posted August 11, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2016 If the Manager wants him and the Doc spends the cash that is good enough for me!

Keyblade Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 We don't need a CB? Our first 4 choice CB's are as follows: Tommy Elphick Nathan Baker Jores Okore Micah Richards I think we all witnessed last night that this is nowhere near good enough for us right now.

Rodders Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 don't care about money after last night, if it's accelerated this deal so we've not tried to bargain down to save a million or two then good. new right back and central midfielder also big signings needed too.

We need a solid defensive unit first and foremost, not one with parts that appear out of position causing the team to wobble whenever it comes under pressure.

Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2016 Good player, my level headed baggies fan seems to rate him highly and is baffled. Okore and Richards are both shot, good to see us move so fast to rectify the problem. Well done Villa. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
