Loans in accordance with the EFL guidance: Section 1 - General Section 5 - Fixtures Section 6 - Players So in short, you can loan as many players as you want BUT a maximum of 4 from 1 club (and only 2 over 23) and you can only name 5 in your match day squad (so including subs). This rule I think is because of the Watford/Udinese issue. Also if we convert them to permanent deals in January then they won't count as part of the 5 after that. Think that's it? So at Villa we have: Moreira, El Ghazi and Tuanzebe currently on loan. We are expecting Bolasie so we can loan 1 more and have all of them in the squad. We can loan more, but we can't use them all. So basically what I said 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we're not after him but I thought he was meant to have a lot of potential. Doesn't score enough. Good player though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Diego Reyes on a free would be fantastic. Abraham and Targett would cap an amazing window of actual quality coming in and an improvement on last seasons squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I see James Collins won't have his contract renewed at West Ham. Surely he must be a good option at CB... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condimentalist Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Cultured he ain't, but at least he can defend. I'm not sure where people think this ball playing good quality CB is coming from at this point... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we have Bjarnason, Doyle-Hayes, Jedinak, Lansbury and Hourihane as other CM options. Shame though, would be a very good option to have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then after he left us, he was a starter at West Ham for a number of years until recently, so his drinking can't have been that bad. I'd 100% take him here. He'd be our best partner for Chester, providing he didn't want silly wages and a 3-year deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Oafish lump that goes to the ball more than Cinderella and way past his best. Can head an aerial ball away better than most but thats about it. A big nah from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there an indident where he kicked in a glass door at a night club. I don't care how many times he played for Wet Spam after leaving us, I don't want anyone who has even a whiff of trouble.

sne Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 The way he and Dunne acted out when Houllier tried to change the culture and professionalism at the club was just pathetic. Wouldn't take Collins back even if he wasn't crap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Made In Aston Posted August 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2018 Apparently Bruce isn't looking to bring in a CB. I think this is madness and may well cost us come the end of the season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After losing Snodgrass we have been a bit light for wingers. Maybe once he has his wingers, and his LB that he seems to be chasing, that would allow Elmo/Hutton to compete for the RB postion and allow Axel to move into CB?
