I thought he was a midfielder According to transfermarkt he is predominately a AM but can play as a secondary striker... https://www.transfermarkt.com/nick-powell/profil/spieler/134424 I would sign him up if it’s an option...

Made In Aston Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) 9 hours ago, av1 said: Given that we are pretty desperate for a CB and a striker, and the fact we can only have 1 more loan in the match day squad, i think we need to be looking to sign Terry for 12 months. Maybe Bruce is deliberately leaving the CB until we have used all our loans up so it will help convince the owners to sign Terry? The fact Terry hasn't joined anyone at this late stage adds fuel to the fire . I find it very odd that an ex defender, who builds squads from the back doesn't seem too bothered about our defensive frailties. Only time will tell I guess.

sne Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Lansbury & Hogan for Powell? We'll have to pay a large part of their wages and it won't be good for FFP. But it might be a useful swap for both clubs on the field. I know, I know, won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Is Gary Cahill out of favour for Chelsea and England now? If so, would there be any chance of bringing him back on loan for a season, maybe paying half his wages? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supervillan78 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 IF Cahill's available and IF he want's to come back. Then that's a bit of a no-brainer surely? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only because of his experience but it also allows for that extra body. Why waste 3 months pay? Season finishes in May. 9 months would cover it rather than 12, save over a million quid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Translate: Aston Villa has made attempts for Gary Cahill. John Terry had a deal with Aston Villa when he left Chelsea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Barring injury i don't see any of Bruces outfield loan signings being left out of the match day squad, so i guess there are 2 possible outcomes for the remainder of the loan window. 1) We bring in one more player. Whilst I'm not a huge fan of any of our strikers i believe we are better off scrapping through to January with what we have, rather than trying to scrape though with our defence. We are literally one injury away from seeing Elphick and Jedinak as our main CB pairing. In this scenario i think the one spot remaining needs to be a CB. 2) This would be my preferred choice. Promote Bunn to the bench and Drop the young keeper down to the U23's for season (Bruce has already described him as being 'one for the future'. This would allow us to bring in both a CB and a CF. Hopefully this is the way we go. Of course there is also the 3rd scenario of no further additions, but that doesn't bare contemplating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Excited to finally see a link to a defender and it turns out to be Gary Cahill I’m getting increasingly concerned we aren’t going to sign anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
