They are all available on loan and would all be good additions to our squad/team. I expected RDM to have done that during the last window. Better late than never now.

choffer Posted January 3, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 3, 2017 On 20/12/2016 at 09:31, dont_do_it_doug. said: Ryan Woods. @choffer goes to plenty of Brentford matches and he said that it was pretty much a 'one off' performance, thanks to being granted the run of Villa Park. If that was the impression I gave, it's slightly harsh. I think he's a good player, works very hard and for a slight figure, he puts himself about a fair bit. Good in the tackle and never stops running. He was MotM in the New Years Eve fixture having put in a performance akin to that against us. Played well against SHA too. I think I said before he is lukewarm for 60% of matches with the rest being very strong. I'm not sure he's what we need at this stage but given the upcoming ACN, I'm definitely coming round to the idea of nabbing Hogan (although the reported £15M price tag feels very much inflated). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I think I dont care who comes in. I'll wait to see if they make an impact or not My only wish is that I never see the following players in a Villa shirt again Bunn Hutton Richards Elphick Aly Bacuna Westwood Gardner Gaby Gestede Kozak Because they are either absolute shit or simply not good enough (even in Ch) Play them all against Spurs in the FAcup the F***em all off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I posted looooooong ago that we needed a multiple of stages in our transition back to the PL Stage 1 - Get shot of all the shit - RDM did a lot - SB still has to complete that job Stage 2 get a complete new squad in - Bruces job starts now - if he doesnt get us up with some of the shit still here - Neeeeeeext Stage 3 - Promotion -still possible with SB - when not - Neeext Stage 4 - Stable in PL - still possible with SB - if not - Next Stage 5 - Europe & contending for silverware - May still be possible with SB - more likely with a "been there & done it manager" I want to remember SB's time here as a very good job done well thanx retire happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we can't get rid of all of them and find replacements in this transfer window, due to both time and FFP regulations. We will also struggle with buyers for most of these. Best we can do is sort out players for the areas we are weak, move a few of these players out and then come the Summer move out the remaining players.

Demitri_C Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Linked with Chery from QPR. Not good enough for me. As for Loftus cheek I don't think he is available on loan I am sure there would premier league clubs interested in him if he was available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worry is,( irrespective of the manager) I am yet to be sure, we have stopped signing the shit( as we are describing it) I have no preconceived idea's just concerned that its over, I'm not so sure.....and that is not a slight at Steve Bruce, its a case of being able to get the right ones.

I'd rather Jenkinson being honest, can't see why we would go for Johnston over Gollini. If we were after a better, more experienced goal keeper then fine.

Sorry but its very simple If BMH is big enough and we have some kind of fence, Beer, Shesha, a Kebab house and an Airtight-re-inforced Shithouse for them all to shit in. We can let them fester amongst themselves. Buy/Loan ANYONE from any PL/Ch squad and they'll be more compatable than the shower of shit that is Bunn Hutton Richards Westwood Gardner & Gaby closely followed by Elphick Cissokho Bacuna Kozak & Gestede (maybe already gone to Boro) We need rid ASAP Edited January 3, 2017 by Grasshopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A38villan Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Going to get slaughtered for this, but if we didn't sign anyone I would not of minded seeing this: gollini Hutton chester baker cissokho richards jedi Adomah amavi mccormack kodjia Jedi and richards to break up play and supporting played to take the Ball of them (similar to how sanchez is supported when he play for columbia) Let the slaughter begin...

The club scouts and Bruce must think that Sam Johnstone is a better option than Bunn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
