Villa Stu Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I think I'm halfway between looking at the short term to get us promoted and looking to build a team for the PL. I would be happy to sign 1 player that is of the ilk of Chester and Taylor in this window and Jan, along with a few experienced players to get us promoted. I think we already have Chester, Taylor, De laet and Kodjia that are PL quality and with another season under his belt possibly green. Add 2 players (1 this window, 1 in Jan) then that is potentially 7 PL quality players at our disposal. When we go up we then look to sign around 4-5 real quality players that would give us a good chance going forward. Obviously there are a few unknowns in our squad as well that we won't know if they can perform in the PL until we get there, the likes of Hourihane, Lansbury etc hopefully they come good and prove that they are good enough for the PL.

Its pretty tough going effectively arguing over nothing from May to the start of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I think we actually have a squad full of players who have 5+ years left in them. Terry is the exception, not the rule. If we have to splash out and replace a few older heads who got us promoted, I don't see a problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need to bring in a bunch of older players only to need to replace them and start again next season - which would be the situation we'd be in, promotion or otherwise. (Which is why your analogy is "terrible"* and doesn't work). * - Accept terrible is harsh, sorry. I've used it now though... That was harsh.....the sheer nostalgia ,I was reminiscing merrily.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon ? Herds of Wildebeast sweeping majestically over the plains ?" ( I think that's right) Why on earth would anyone NOT expect to read similar views being expressed repeatedly on a fans Forum ? Kipper and the Corpse?
