This thread is hilarious. I agree with your view on Rashford, he's different class but I think that Carrick is attainable, whether he'd come is another matter altogether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but that doesn't make him a good footballer. He can't cross the road and he is part of the problem. Needs upgrading. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think he has lost his way for a long time now. I think Jenkison will be a upgrade. I agree he gives it his all, but it's not good enough. Says a lot when nobody comes in for him, and even out on loan he didn't impress. If De leta was fit I don't think we'd see much of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If De leta was fit I don't think we'd see much of him. I rate Jenkinson, for me, he's easily a premier league player, I think he's better than De Laet and Hutton probably combined. Nobody can do better than give it their all, in my opinion, it's all that can be asked of any given player, Alan Hutton can't be faulted in that respect in my opinion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I just hope Steve makes signings that make a difference to the team as opposed to players in the past making little difference and many cases left us worse. The last 2 x 50 mill windows have left me underwhelmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Steve Bruce has already said that the players we have bought in recent times have not made the difference to improve us as a team....I wholeheartedly agree. I am now just hoping that we can fix that and add players that will improve the balance of the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted December 16, 2016 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) 14 hours ago, TRO said: cheeky bid for carrick? and then a playmaker. The amount of games played in the Championship would not suit a player who at best can now only play one game per week without injury. Not that Carrick was a realistic choice anyway. However If you are thinking of someone of that type of experience and passing ability then Barry would be a better choice but again not sure he would go to the Villa at the moment. A player/coaching role might entice him? A midfield comprising of Jedinak and Barry wouldn't have enough energy to push Villa through a Championship season though. It would have to be one or the other and for me Barry would offer Villa more. Edited December 16, 2016 by striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have hoped that the opportunity to play regularly and to return to us would be enough to entice him to want to come back but I suspect it might not be now. Players are seldom as good during their second visit to a club but in his case I think he might well do a job if he was interested and Bruce was as well.

Richard Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 He has averaged mid 30's in terms of league games throughout his career and that is a figure he has achieved in each of the last 4 years for Everton. This year he has featured in 14 of their 16 league games so far. I'd say he is already playing regularly for a 35 year old 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is out of his prime and well past his sell-by date. No way does he get into any Premier League team right now, he doesn't even look accomplished at Championship level. He is frequently caught out at the back and literally has no ability to pass or cross a football. The Brighton right back who is like 100 years old looks ten times better than him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 It seems Barry is staying where he is and will always now be an ex-Villa player having just extended his contract at Everton until 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
