GH - Bruces period of inactivity has thawed your icy heart ! Your £5 should be going to VT like all the fivers all of the Brouters should be donating as we (especially me) are all very bad boys (and girls) and have made some posters summer of inactivity unbeatable with our poisonous vibes in every single thread on VT. I personally will be looking forward to all the 4-0 win we are going to get, if not VoOz will be kindly donating his 10er instead of moi Edited June 27, 2017 by Grasshopper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the mentality that got us here in the first place and if it continues, will keep us here. I could also include SB as having his last big payday, but I'm not allowed to say that am I Steve Bruce is only 56. So you could say it, but it is more than likely he has 10 years managing at the top of the English game if he keeps winning things and getting promotions. Seeing as Sven Goran Eriksen is getting paid like an absolute lord in China at the ripe old age of 69 it is likely there is a few good paydays left in Brucey yet. Id say you are probably wrong 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolteExile Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Who is honestly going to give us a cleaner for Richards. A few bags of cement (gone hard) - maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say you are probably wrong Bruce has actually said he wants to retire soon in one of his interviews closer to the beginning of his tenure here. Obviously didn't mean immediate, but basically won't be rotting in the dugout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted June 27, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2017 Gomis is returning from loan to Swansea with a year left on his contract, it seems like transfers are being considered to take him abroad. He's 31 but scored quite a few for Marseille last year, I think he would add to our forward options. I think he struggled in the PL, but Championship could be his level.

Czechlad Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 We shouldn't be looking at strikers. Kodjia, Hogan, McCormack, Agbonlahor, Hepburn-Murphy, and Davis surely are enough? Our defense is pretty thin, and we currently don't have a keeper... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Villa are really looking at strikers, I'm looking at a striker and speculating, I doubt we'll actually sign one. Fwiw though; Kodjia and Hogan are good, McCor is a lost cause I fear, Agbonlahor is a pile of garbage, the other two don't seem ready. That's why I think Gomis would add to us, but it's mainly just idle speculation to while away the time.

Kodjia, Hogan, McCormack, Agbonlahor, Hepburn-Murphy, and Davis surely are enough? We did not score enough goals last season although our strikers did lack service. I would therefore not say no to bringing in a striker on loan. Kodjia scored goals for fun last season but when he is absent where will our goals come from? Hogan has yet to show for sure that he will do the same for us as he did for Brentford (although injury impacted on his chances of showing that last season). Who knows if McCormack will be selected to play for us again and if he is whether he will be fit enough to get over his fence and if he does manage that whether he will be anywhere near the player he was for Fulham? Gabby is way past his best and is seldom up for it other than when he comes on as a late substitute against Small Heath. Davis and Hepburn-Murphy have clear potential and should get odd games this season to show they can score the goals we need in the longer term but can we guarantee they would do so on a regular basis if they were called upon to do so over a lengthy period this season?
