dAVe80 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'd have actually liked Rhodes at Villa, but the fact that no one is meeting Boro's asking price pleases me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Wouldn't mind Lennon on loan, apparently Everton plan to let him go if a good deal comes in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a very last minute deal if anything, they have shot themselves in the foot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised to see Rhodes at Villa by the end of the window, but I'm very happy we've stuck to our guns, and won't pay the silly asking price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 I can understand why we have prioritised Hogan, I mean he is in form and scoring goals right now, I think Rhodes could take a while to warm up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa Stu Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 8 minutes ago, Folski said: Not everyone starts off at United or Arsenal. In fact a lot of players in the current England set up played in the Championship or lower. Hart, Heaton, McCarthy, Butland. Clyne, Stones, Walker, Jagielka, Keane, Cresswell, Smalling. Lallana, Walcott, Drinkwater, Ox, Alli, Antonio, Delph. Vardy. All these players were contracted to Championship or lower clubs. There is some quality there if you can find it and players have the correct attitudes. That was one of the points, some of the players we now have are better than we have had in years, but I was also pointing to the fact that 70% of championship teams struggle in the prem. With either a great level of determination and togetherness they can survive but eventually you should be looking at adding proven quality that will compliment the squad. you don't see the bigger teams going for 5 championship players, they will look at 1 or 2 and try to develop them into premiership quality players. Hopefully though with some of the signings we have made they will be good enough to play in the prem when we get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogan IMO is the better player, has more strings to his bow and more upside should we get promoted anytime soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Boro cave in late, I am sure we would look at it again if Hogan doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Interesting that the West Ham scouts and David Gold all wanted Hogan but Bilic didn't, hence why they've pulled out. Says to me they think him capable of being/becoming a decent PL standard striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'm not one for judging a player solely on utube but he looks like a good finisher with pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven123 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Please Sign Hogan... He would definitely be the best striker at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Looking at the obligatory youtube clips what I like about Hogan is he is two-footed. Comfortable on the ball with both feet and is a bit of a poacher, something we've lacked for a good while now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was clear as day that him choosing sunderland as the place to rebuild his career was bonkers. I'd much prefer Bruce in charge of transfers than Moyes. Fair point but I don't think he knew the finance would be pulled from under him. Anyway we're off topic so back to Villa transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I know I'm getting wrapped up in the crazy fun of the transfer window and they'll all be dreadful when they pull on a Villa shirt but indulge me for a day. Will we actually have movement upfront and a midfield capable of picking a pass? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
