And as I said previously I agree but my original point remains. We aren't talking about a player we own, it's not a case of giving up on him. It's a question of has he done enough for us to try and sign him permanently, personally I don't think so. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I just hope we recruit wisely this summer both with permanent deals and loan signings. Also hoping we manage to shed a fair few players too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the bit we don't own him and I get the bit, we have no option, but looking forward, we need a 'keeper. So in terms of continuity, (not to say that's the be all and end all) but it is well documented by the club, its been a source of our demise......lack of it. We are now proposing to send him back as per the terms of loan and start all over again with the team having to get used to another ' keeper....when they have got used to him all season idiosyncrasies and all. having no guarantee the next one will be any better. Ok. Edited April 17, 2017 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 17, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 17, 2017 I think we still have issues in the midfield to address. We need a few different options, and ones that will keep Bacuna and Gardner away from the first team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people still say get rid of Richards and Gabby, no one is going to buy them and they are unlikely to give up their hard earned Villa wages. So unless 'get rid' in the Mafia underworld sense, which I think is a little OTT, then its a pointless discussion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I tend to think this is a tactical issue... I think it will, but I think Hourihane is taking a long time to settle. Whether that's down to him, the tactics or the people around him I honestly don't know. But I think when that three are up and running they'll be just fine. I don't think they're a one size fits all solution though, which is why I think we need other options for certain games. And Gardner and bacuna aren't those options. They offer nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 We signed two goal scoring and creative midfielders... what have we done to them? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played them too far away from the goal and given them too few options on the rare occasions one of our passes has actually found their feet rather than an opponents. In short they've been "Bruced" and "Aston Villad" Edited April 18, 2017 by sne 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan_of_oz Posted April 18, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2017 I have some bad news everyone. I have just scene the trailer the new star wars and there is a line in there, stating 'no more Jedi's'. I think we may need re think our plans to replace him and maybe focus our attention on an alternative, maybe a Chewbacca would do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bjarnsson was one of them options and I liked how frequently he seemed to get in the box. Hopefully he will come good next season after injury. I absolutely agree on Gardner and Bacuna just not good enough for a promotion chasing team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villanwesty88 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39631329 Max Gradel could be leaving Bournemouth. Just what we need on the wing? Issues; high wages, he's 29 and he has not played very much football this season. Plus points; proven at this level and above, can be a travel buddy with Jimmy Danger (you know? YEAH) for Ivory Coast games, would give us more options on the wing where we don't have fantastic depth. Tricky one to call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he do cruciate and he's struggled since then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
