Nigel Posted May 22, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2017 I think first and for most we need to add genuine pace to this team. Left wing would seem the perfect place for this type of player too. There were so many times last season where we would be breaking but unable to really take advantage due to the lack of options going forward. It would seem to fit with the way Bruce plays too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Looks like veretout and amavi have lots of interest, could be we get near 20 mill from these two alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big lump who scores a load from corners but worry for me is Bristol City at this level over the last two years have conceded a shed load of goals so similar to Elphick coming from a Bournemouth team who were similar. That said it makes sense to search for another aerially dominant CB as you get the best from Chester that way as he can step back and read the play and cut out the attacks.

Demitri_C Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Someone on that villa face group claims Abraham is a done deal. I don't believe that at all unless a striker is leaving 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there'll be some deemed too mentally weak for a club of this size. Me too. If someone comes in for Grealish at a decent fee I can see him going.

The blood and guts type - put your head where you wouldn't put a foot and so on.

The figures mentioned for Jack aren't worth selling. If he's a PL player you're looking at £20m as he's English. Patrick Roberts went to Man City for £12m without having played in the PL if we are offered about that we may aswell keep him as he is more than good enough to get into our team and can be a star in this league and we all know how much going up is worth. We need to add 3/4 quality 1st team players but saying that I can see us selling Kodija if we get a big offer. He isn't a team player as such and we are desperate to get a functioning team instead of a one man attack. I'd love him to stay and develop but get £20m+ and Abraham in on loan we'd arguably have a better team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he was named PFA Players' Player of the Year in 2004/05 (the only defender to win the award since 92/93), UEFA Defender of the Year 3 times, UEFA Team of the Year 4 times and made the World Team of the Year 5 years on the bounce between 2005 and 2009. I think that his reputation off the pitch has glazed over the fact that he has been one of the best defenders of my generation. In my opinion anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
