What's the point....I said most of em. just take one player out of many that folk think is ok.....Amavi. not for me ....overrated lightweight, that I would sell at the drop of a hat....and he is meant to be one of the better ones....liability for me. However, the overriding thing is can we get in better before we do. we have sold players for not being up to it and proceeded to sign worse. thats why we are where we are.

Defoe does sturridge does suarez did Costa does When he was at Villa he created a lot of goals for himself in a very poor side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnock1984 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 We do need a striker in my opinion, but I can only see us getting one if Bruce is able to shift McCormack or Ayew (Neither of which I think he rates). For me, Ulloa would be a great signing for where we are now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfers-steve-bruce-12425597 Quote Aston Villa transfers: Steve Bruce interested in former winger The Middlesbrough winger is thought to be available for loan Aston Villa are interested in signing Middlesbrough winger Stewart Downing. Reports are circling that the former Villa winger has been made available for loan by Boro boss Aitor Karanka. The club are thought to be chasing another four players this month after securing a deal for Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone and Downing would definitely fit the bill of what they're looking for. Downing played his last game for the club in 2011 and scored the winner against Liverpool before departing to join the Merseysiders in the summer. Downing, now 32, has played 19 times for his hometown club this season after helping them return to the Premier League last year. Boro wouldn't be willing to loan him to a Premier League rival, so Villa would be in pole position to land him. Click bait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks. Hardly. Don't see what Downing done wrong when he was here. A model pro compared to the jokers we have had to deal with in recent years.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The Downing scarf thing was a bit annoying at the time, a long time ago now. Not arsed anymore. Would be a very good signing for us and realistic. Would be absolutely over the moon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
