It's strange that we seemed to be linked with exactly the same players. Here If his old manager, day out at Rockliffe, our league position and a financial package that I'm assuming would have included for the permanent transfer clause a payrise in 12 months wasn't enough to convince him I honestly don't know what else we could have done here I really don't he just preferred Villa/Birmingham in the end then we move on bigger question is if all that wasn't enough to get a player ahead of Villa how on earth are we expecting Ojo/Targett to choose us over them?

Popular Post Made In Aston Posted August 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2018 I'm starting to get a little bit concerned that we haven't really been linked with any CBs. Surely Bruce (an ex CB) must be looking to get one in. Surely?! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8pints Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Of course, to clear up any confusion, I meant Christian Benteke, Leon Britton, Willian and Steven Taylor 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dukes Posted August 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2018 If it’s a choice between Tuanzabe, Elphick, Jedinak or Terry at centre back I’d take Terry all day long. He and Chester are a solid pairing and that would also help Nyland and Moreira settle. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see at Yeovil he's nowhere near ready for it, this will be a big season for his development but for what it's worth I don't think he'll be ready for starting cb any time soon this season. well in that case its a stupid signing by Bruce and wasted on a position that didn't need any strengthening Im not fussed about the whole bruceball thing as the results have been ok, but very annoyed by 3 wasted signings in Tuanzebe, Morreirra and Nyland 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes bruce has confirmed the owners dint want him back. Strange though as terry was sensational for us. I have no doubt if we got bolaise terry and Abraham we would be going up this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Is it just me who thought Tuanzebe looked fine at centre half in the Yeovil game? Taylor and Elphick were terrible. Tuanzebe was compensating for both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If AT is competent across the back line it gives us options we didn't have before. It's not as easy as some think to sign top class players on loan, mainly because top class players tend to not be available on loan. Moriera has obviously been signed for the future, and we had no first team goalkeeper and brought Nyland in, I'm hoping once he settles in he'll be fine as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervillan78 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I think it all hinges on whether Matt Targett comes in. He'll go LB, Hutton moves to RB so Tuanzebe moves to the centre with Chester. Although I'd still like to see another CB come in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 If we had to choose I would prefer us to sign a LB over a CB. I know Tuanzebe is very raw but Chester is experienced enough to support him. Also, with us potentially signing Bolasie and El Ghazi today it is essential that we bring in another striker. Could be quite an exciting week ahead (I hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
