Yes he's a nutcase but given a run he can score goals, certainly at championship level. Not getting a sniff under Benitez anyway. Certainly a better bet on loan than a kid with very little experience IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Have I missed the bit where Neil Taylor doesn't play for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Linked with Jonathan Walters and Ulloa https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/893383/Aston-Villa-News-Steve-Bruce-January-Deal-Leicester-Leonardo-Ulloa-EFL-Championship Quote Steve Bruce is in the market for a big striker and Ulloa, who has made just three substitute appearances in the Premier League this season, fits the bill. A deal will prove difficult for Bruce, however, with Villa limited by what they can spend due to Financial Fair Play concerns. Alternative targets are being considered and Burnley veteran Jon Walters is also on the club's radar, according to The Sun on Sunday. Ulloa, 31, has Championship experience, having scored 23 goals in an 18-month stint with Brighton between 2013 and 2014. He played a useful role, mostly as an impact substitute, when Leicester stunned the Premier League to win the 2015/16 title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Walters has never been prolific - even in the 2nd tier, whats more, he isnt a big physical striker either, about the same size as Gabby. For Brueball to be effective we need someone whos good in the air, like Gestede - so its surprising Bruce let him go to bring in Hogan. Maybe he wanted to change his style of play but didnt realise you have to change tactics and not just personnel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted December 18, 2017 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2017 Ulloa would be ideal but how long would it take to get his match fitness back when Villa are facing the business end of the season? That's my only worry but he's a very good player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Walters has 43 goals in 266 games since the 10/11 season. (gabby has 30 in 183 so they have pretty much the same average...) The Championship is a step down, but he's 34 now. We have enough old timers with their best far behind them, sure he'd work hard but he's not what we need. Ulloa would be a much better option. So with that said, welcome Mr Walters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Panathinaikos are in huge financial trouble, their players will be allowed to break their contracts as they're not getting payed. They might have some player we could pick up. Niklas Hult could be an option for cover at LB/LM. As could Emanuel Insua. On the whole thou they are in a retched state, even got our old friend Yacouba Sylla on loan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbdrum88 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 If funds are tight I’d seriously take a go on Ruud Boymans ... followed the eredivsie as always liked watching Ajax a lot and this guy always seemed to score goals never prolific or world beating but always double figures for mid-lower clubs and works hard for 90mins in games had a bad season and a half, but only 28, may not be able to step up to prem but deffo more than good for the championship currently a free agent, wages would be low, take him on a 6 month deal and if he steps up the option of an extension .. would be brilliant for now and a squad player for rest of the season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbdrum88 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Well it’s reported here he was watching the Utrecht game last night and has been training with his old club https://www.duic.nl/opinie/fc-utrecht-geeft-vijfde-plaats-weg/ and im sure when I was catching up with highlights of the game this morning the commentator during said he was a free agent training with his old club whilst talking about him being at the game, hence why I suggested him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
