Seriously how many FBs do we have on our books still (had completely forgotten about Cissokho aswell and thought he was out of contract in any case but clearly the Lerner charity gave him a 4 year deal )and we add another bog standard one to the squad. Sort of lazy signing that would turn me against Steve Bruce tbh. I think it's an easy link for the media to say a story he's played under Bruce many times. Can't see it happening as like you say we have far too many fbs aleadyalready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 From a Terry article, nothing groundbreaking but first time i've seen Walters linked. Oh, and seems Johnstone is still on the agenda. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/07/02/john-terry-decides-join-aston-villa-will-sign-imminently/ Quote Villa are also working on other signings and will have further talks with Manchester United this week over a potential deal for goalkeeper Sam Johnstone. Stoke's Jon Walters and Glenn Whelan are also on Bruce's list of targets as he bids to assemble a squad capable of promotion from the Championship.

Also found this about Amavi: http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/aston-villa/transfer-talk/news/report-villa-decline-sevilla-bid-for-amavi_301721.html Quote Atletico Madrid, Napoli, Paris Saint-Germain and AS Monaco have all been touted as possible destinations for Amavi, while owner Tony Xia claimed in January that Marseille had made a £25m approach. So it would seem Marseille were the "25 million" pound club? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted July 2, 2017 Moderator Share Posted July 2, 2017 It's a high risk strategy collecting all these old timers for their last hurrah. Terry, Whelan and Walters would give us a real dad's army feel. I do hope it works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they still have the hunger, desire and fitness then they add a lot of Match craft to our squad. That is something we have lacked since the days of Barry, Petrov and Milner.

danceoftheshamen Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Just now, AJ said: I am all for it, if they can do the job that some of our current squad cant. #Dadsforduds I think that's the whole idea, a lot of the players here proved beyond a shadow of doubt that the club is too big for them and we lacked the true Premier League experienced players who could not only command instant respect amongst their team mates but pass on their wisdom, calm them down and give them a kick up the arse when required. JT will surely bring those qualities. We need players big enough to cope with everything a club of this stature brings upon them so i'm all for them coming in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 2, 2017 Moderator Share Posted July 2, 2017 I worry that we find ourselves in January not where we want to be - and the next manager has to start again from scratch. It makes stability difficult over more than one season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any new manager has to start from scratch, we just have to hope Bruce can make it work So far the in's and out's are looking to be upgrades on the in's... let's just hope this trend makes it through and continues.

Infinte_Pest Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I'm not sure its entirely true that someone else would have to start 'from scratch' , The base of the squad is pretty well formed and fit for purpose as a promotion challenging side , and we are just seeing players added who bring depth and experience , any new manager will want to add 3-5 players anyway so the fact that these players wont be still kicking about on long contracts could be a good thing.
