For what it's worth I'm not massively keen on signing Barry. He's decent but there must be better out there for the wages that he'd probably cost. The £100k per week in wages or £5.2mill per season. If you paired them together they would get ripped apart due to their slowness. Age catches up with everyone eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I kind of agree with you financially although I have no idea how much either would be on. As I said, I wouldn't put them in the same team but being able to rest both and share out the minutes would be good from a squad perspective. But again as I mentioned above, I'm convinced there's better value out there and as good as Jedinak has been there's better value than him also.

Dr_Pangloss Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I think it's unlikely that Barry would expect £100k to play here, very likely IMO that he takes a substantial pay cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant combined wages between them of £100k. I'd love Barry to come back and then ship Jedinak back to Palace. Just can't see space for both in the squad given their ages and the amount of wages they would both take up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Before we get in any new players, and on the assumption Bruce is going nowhere, can we get in some new attack-minded coaches please. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) I see we have vaguely been linked again with Kevin Stewart from Pool in the Brum Mail. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-liverpool-transfer-rumour-13015894 Quote Aston Villa have been named as one of a number of clubs who could be potential takers for young midfielder Kevin Stewart. Stewart appears set to leave Liverpool this summer, according to reports, though his contract at Anfield runs until 2021 - a deal he signed only last November. Don't know too much about him other than we have previously been linked. Him & Barry to replace Gardner & Jedinak?! Add Watkins on a free from Barnsley and/or Johnson from Oxford to the flanks, plus the kids from Blackpool & Ipswich we've been linked with gives us a mix of options to supplement Lansbury, Hourihane, Adomah, Green & Thor. I can see us signing 4 to compete for the 1st IX with another 3-4 for the future like Bedeau. Edited May 10, 2017 by thabucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Scott Dann's easily the best name on this thread who I think would massively improve us and is reasonably realistic to sign, He's that sort of warrior type we need. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think he's played all that much in Big Sam's 4 months in charge so probably a defender he dosen't rate for whatever reason and they're signing Sakho permanently in the summer so it could be possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on that, but only because I think it would be nigh on impossible to bring someone in who was so good that we wouldn't miss Jedi at all. But imagine if we did ! Imagine someone so good that our reaction was "Mile who?". I suppose that should be the goal of any transfer really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Think Jedinak will play much more in defence next season. More logical for most of the home games we'll be playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
