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 He should fit right in at Villa Park being a shite midfielder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club scouts and Bruce must think that Sam Johnstone is a better option than Bunn. Bunn is dreadful - at least gollini has potential and hasn't been that bad in my opinion - no doubt Johnstone will be better than bunn but will he be better than gollini? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvey13 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 just want to see a midfield with a backbone jedi with two competent players linking deference and attack and we should be ok Hourihane shoudl be a go too for one and then someone with a bit of something special. or just someone like Matty James would make me a happier man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they have lost total faith, but I thought he had potential and those links to Inter Milan a while back suggested likewise. I trust Bruce more than Sherwood, Garde & RDM so hopefully it will be for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they maybe waiting for the fax machine to be serviced? Another transfer window favourite of mine is, 'X club are considering a bid' because that suggests the rags can actually read minds. rocket polishers, i hate sports journalists.

avshipscat Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Right....Here's my take...with a tiny bit of info from someone whom has called a few things before. I think we'd like Hourihane,but what's in it for Barnsley and indeed the player.He's out of contract in 5 months,where he'd be able to pick up a very fat juicy one from a number of teams....He'd be a great signing for anyone departing the premiership for example.Also,Barnsley,I suspect,would prefer to make their position concrete rather than accept 3/4/5 million.Unless we start waving around 45k a week and 6/7 million I think we'll be in limbo with him. As for Lansbury,firstly he's definitely from the Richards,Gabby,Lescott M.O mixed with an ego that needs purring. No thanks.Apparently off to Watford. Looking objectively,we need experience and knowhow in midfield.We appear to be outbattled and unable to dictate the tempo.Bruce's teams are always combative,but he's also partial to a ballplayer in there...Huddleston,Ferguson for the Dogshite.One of the names i hear is Larrson of Sunderland,but we have more silky irons on the go too.....Someone on Twatter did suggest we were interested in Mikel prior to him signing for Valencia,and there may have been some mileage in that,which bodes well. I think he also fancies a more robust centre forward.Not one of them is effective with their back to goal...or effective up front on their own...Literally someone like Ulloa or Hernandez...Pace,strength on their own effectively...Something Gestede was unable to do.Kodija looks more threatening with space to operate,and fails to cope with a physical approach,as fantastic as he's been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
