Ginko Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Jenkinson, a keeper (preferably more experienced), a box-to-box midfielder (assuming Tshibola is out of favour which he seems to be) and a passing/possession-style midfielder would be a cracking window for us. Also think we should be signing a striker since we're losing so many to Africa. Let's utilise the loan market well for once.

striker Posted December 11, 2016 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 11, 2016 I still think Villa will need to bring in a striker (loan) if/when Kodjia, Adomah and Ayew head off to the African Nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 It's highly unlikely to happen but I'd love it if we're to get Jenkinson, Johnstone, Schlupp & McCarthy. IMO they would balance our squad and really help us to push for second. One can dream, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 2 hours ago, TrentVilla said: Wenger and Bruce had a good relationship during his time at Small Heath when he borrowed the likes of Bendtner and Seb Larrson. Bruce also loaned Chuba Akpom from them last season at Hull. Seems him and Wenger have always got on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not priority but also not a position I'd be against improving in. Not sure Bruce is the better keeper of the two? 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 4 hours ago, villarocker said: I'm sure Jenkinson filled in at CB a few times in the past for the Gooners so maybe Bruce sees him as an option for his versatility. I'd welcome that decision if the rumours are true. I think Wenger rates him, but his inconsistency has lead to media criticism which has possibly lead to him to have some poor games....its hard to get your confidence back in a team trying to WIN the prem....the pressure is on. It could be win/win for him and us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I like Jenkinson and he can play CB as well. McCartney in Jan and Izzy Brown in the summer, that'll be the midfield sorted. I would love that young Dutch lad from Ure the CB.....top quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I've been Saying Jenkinson for months. Hutton does OK at this level but he is awful going forward he just about OK at defending but not much else. Jenkinson is some one I think we could get permanent as well if we go up the same goes for McCarthy. These are exactly the loans we should be looking at. Good PL players that aren't getting much game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I know the point of loans is to help the player build back up their confidence and get some regular gametime, but Jenkinson seemed to be in a pretty bad way recently, when Wenger publicly told the media he would be leaving him out of the squad while he got some confidence back. I think he'd do well for us if he was feeling positive, but Bruce is going to have to get the psychologist on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyavfc Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 If we managed to get McCarthy in Jan then it would be an unbelievable coup at this level. I just don't see it though. Maybe in the summer if we manage to get promoted and even then it would be a class signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnock1984 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) How many loans are we allowed from premiership clubs? Jenkinson would be a great signing. Johnstone would be fine as back up. A top centre midfielder and a forward to cover African cup of nations and that would be a great window.

dudevillaisnice Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Must be the only one that doesn't rate Jenkinson. Might be good at this level though and that's all that matters now I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
