Popular Post Spoony Posted November 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2017 I don’t think we should be signing anyone. We’ve already thrown a fortune at the promotion chase and the squad we have is more than good enough to make that happen. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Can see us getting another striker in, Hogan will surely be moved out as it's a waste of time him in our current style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Not until Hogan and McCormack get moved on. If they do then it frees some space seeing as we'd have Kodjia, Davis and of course Agbonlahor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8pints Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 If we shift a few out, I still think we could do with bringing in a real ball winning midfielder with an engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakob Johansson from AEK Athens would be my choice, and not just because he's Swedish and used to play for IFK Göteborg. He's really good at what he does and is calm on the ball. 6 ft 2 with a great engine and attitude. 27 y.o Has a €5 million release clause but is sitting on an expiring contract and will not command big wages. Perfect signing IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted November 13, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2017 I see from the click bait peddlers newsnow that we have tentatively been linked to Ahmed Musa from Leicester http://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/910498785?-11177:843:3#out Quote Ahmed Musa wants to leave Leicester City after featuring once all season and it is understood that Aston Villa are hot on his trail. And we have also been linked with Diame from toon http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/11/13/report-newcastle-united-midfielder-mohamed-diame-keen-to-join-as/ Quote Newcastle United midfielder Mohamed Diame wants to be reunited with his former boss Steve Bruce at Aston Villa. I'm liking both these tenuous links. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 13, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'd like us to get Cheick Diabate on a free. Would give us a better option up front than Hogan and would soften the blow when we sell him for much less than we paid for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Musa doesn't suit our style as a forward at all. Musa plays very similar to Hogan, so we'd be replacing Hogan with a smaller version of Hogan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Agree with @Czechlad Musa is a no for me. Small, nippy strikers who require service and space to run into aren't going to fit, not the way Bruce sets us up. Diame yes. Big, strong, can hold the ball up, bully defenders etc. He'd do a good job share with Onomah as that powerful no.10 behind Davis or Kodjia.

Villan4Life Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Linked with Connor Shields of Albion Rovers who has 11 in 18 this season: http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-scout-form-striker-13898620 Quote Aston Villa are among the clubs reportedly keeping tabs on in-form Scottish striker Connor Shields ahead of the January transfer window. The 20-year-old has shot to prominence in Scottish League One, bagging 11 goals in just 17 games for Albion Rovers this season. That rich vein of form has seen Shields named in several SPFL teams of the week and has also alerted sides south of the border. Villa and fellow Championship club Sunderland are said to have sent scouts to take a closer look at the forward who was promoted from the Albion Rovers' under-20s team by new boss Brian Kerr at the start of the campaign. Premier League side Watford have also been credited with an interest in Shields. It is reported that Albion Rovers are unlikely to be able to stand in his way if a move to England is desired. Villa's current emerging attacking talents are beginning to make their mark with Keinan Davis becoming a regular in the first-team and Callum O’Hare set to make his international debut for England under-20s against Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
