Call me old fashioned, but I reckon a team trying to push for automatic promotion should have an actual left back playing left back. Hutton has been ok, but a real natural left sided player might combine better with Adomah and offer natural width on the overlap and well, not be playing on the wrong side of the pitch.

VillaChris Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Looking increasingly likely Ollie McBurnie on loan from Swansea is the new striker in January. Would prefer someone more experience, he's not much more experienced than Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 We need the following in January in order of priority. All 3 positions must be filled with cover or better. 1) STRIKER 2) CENTRE HALF 3) LEFT BACK. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 25 and was considered a big talent when he left AIK 2.5 years ago. Has had a rough time in Turkey and been loaned out to a few clubs in Germany and Turkey. No idea how good he is now but he might be an cheap option in January, he is without a doubt better than Richards and Elphick. And a lot cheaper. Could be worth a gamble. Think we might even have been linked to him back in the day before he moved to Besiktas? according to Wiki he has played 35 games in 3 years. We have signed enough players like that before like Richards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Misread that name as Mitrovic at Newcastle. Would actually take him. Yes he's a nutcase but given a run he can score goals, certainly at championship level. Not getting a sniff under Benitez anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancy telling some of the the top coaches in the world that? Just no. The best teams and players in the Allsvenskan are easily championship quality. They are beating far better teams in the Europa League atm. As for Milosevic, who knows. Richards is not a footballer anymore and Elphick has played very few little in recent seasons. Milosevic would be a cheap gamble nothing more he'd cost nothing and be on a free. If you rather play Richards then fair enough... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted December 16, 2017 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2017 McBurnie might not be a big championship name, who guarantees goals, and costs £15 mill (cos that type of player has really worked out well for us) but if he can play the Davis role and give Davis a breather let alone competition then we will be better for it.

I think we should perhaps go for someone else who is a big championship name or bigger who will gaurantee goals on loan. We have nout to spend but if our intentions is to just be adding shite like above mentioned for the sake of it then I would rather we took a punt on RH-M. Again for me it is not an experimental season, we need to get out of this league this season, signing someone on a contract like McBurnie would be shambolic as he would be surplus the minute we get to the premiership. We have enough surplus already contracted that we are still trying to get rid of. Loans should be the only deals Tony Xia sanctions imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
