dudevillaisnice Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Our squad is pretty bloated at the moment to be honest, hopefully a few leave soon whether it’s loan or transfers. The likes of Gary Gardner can hopefully secure a loan elsewhere before the window ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't be any reason not to bring better players in though surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an ideal world you’re right, but I think we will be more prudent as a bloated squad is what has caused us problems with FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably another loan deal nearer the end of the window with some clubs hopefully panicking as being honest he has no future here as he isn’t good enough.

MCU Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Snodgrass and Abraham you’d guess then. Give me a Friday afternoon double announcement Villa... kick off my weekend in style. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a Friday afternoon double announcement Villa... kick off my weekend in style. I'd imagine these may be the hardest of all—Abraham would surely hold out for a prem team and Snodgrass would surely hold out to see if he can get a game after performing well in preseason. One thing's for sure, we'll certainly be as we are for Hull. Providing Kodjia is fit we still have two CBs and should be able to put out a decent team.

MachoFantastico Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Would love to see Snoddy back, maybe with the option to make the move permanent. Was such a key player last season. Don't know a great deal about Abraham but there seems to be enough talk floating around that there's something to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I can't see Snodgrass coming until the very end of the loan window. Although I am hopeful he comes back. I think we need pacier options as well but he'd be good for the team and has proven he can win games on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was, and it's not now. They've said no one needs to be sold. Let's take them at their word until they prove their word isn't to be respected. It seems as though then whatever plans they have to get around FFP, it doesn't include needing to offload players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
