Nigel Posted August 31, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2018 I'd say he will be receiving a telephone call soon considering the amount of defenders that we have tried for. He will have been plan b imo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 We must try and get Terry back now. He has kept himself relatively fit and with an international break coming up we can do some intensive fitness training with him if necessary. I and I imagine a lot of Villa fans would be happier with JT rather than Jedinak alongside Chester. JT can pass the ball for a start! That would instantly improve us right there, rather than Jedinak underhitting or shanking passes. It is a no brainer in my eyes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming most of us would have been against it due to financial reasons and wanting to go in a different direction, i.e building for the longer term and not wasting money on assets with no resale value. I just don’t see how it’s wasting money, I think what John Terry would bring would be incredibly valuable, and billionaire owners aren’t going to care how much his wages cost if the value he brings out weighs that.

I just can't see why with this new spending we are doing that we would sign JT in September rather than July!

Conspracy theory, but SB could have wanted to, but the new owners wanted younger players instead. Now it's much less to choose from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Villa Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 We often debate Bruce's ability to setup a team with regards to cunning (or more like basic) tactics and now we suspect (hope) he has hatched a fiendishly brilliant way to bring JT back despite giving his number to Kodjia? As @Junxswas right, that ship has sailed and we need to keep everything crossed that Chester can stay Injury free between now and the January window..

And also he pushes Elmohamady back to RB and Axel takes Jedinaks position instead. At least then we have 3 “centre backs”. Could really be the difference between going up and not with the defence as it is... hoping for a damn good freebie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we even register free agents for the team now, before January? This article seems to suggest not: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/transfer-deadline-day-can-free-13044460 Quote What about free agents Football League clubs, including Steve Bruce's Aston Villa, have until the end of the month to complete loan deals and free transfers (Image: Aston Villa/Getty) Again, it's a no for Premier League clubs. They won't be able to sign out-of-contract players until January. Football League clubs have until the end of August to sign up free agents. In years gone by, clubs were able to sign free agents at any point, but clubs under orders to submit their 25-man squads, this is no longer permitted." edit: Although this post I missed from Made in Aston suggests the Mirror are wrong... 5 hours ago, Made In Aston said: Can EFL Championship clubs sign free agents outside of the transfer window - the rules explained https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/uk-sport-news/can-efl-championship-clubs-sign-1958427.amp The short answer is yes. Presumably these are the rules we need to look at? https://www.efl.com/-more/governance/efl-rules--regulations/section-6---players/: Quote 43.2 Subject always to the provisions of Regulation 43.3, after the expiry of each Transfer Window (and/or in the Extended Period, if applicable) in each Season registrations of Players and transfers of registrations will, except as permitted in Regulation 55, be declined or will only be approved: 43.2.1 where the Player is transferred on a Temporary Loan Transfer during the Extended Period (as defined in Regulation 42.2.2); 43.2.2 where the Player is an Out of Registration Player; Edited September 1, 2018 by TeeJay added bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness people better be praying that Chester remains injury free the whole season. All this talk about Bree playing there as well is laughable. At least till Jan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you need a free transfer centre back then and you have just let a legend of one go who is still better than all the ones you have to partner chester then people are going to go on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted September 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2018 I follow the Peterborough owner on Twitter and he was asked the question directly re free transfers, and he says they can still be signed, so their is still hope for a centre back coming in on a free.

antvillan Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Lots of positives now and some great signings this window. We desperately need another CB or LB though, JT is still available. I’m sure Bruce would have him back, he said before the owners want you get players suggesting they didn’t go for having him back. Maybe now we couldn’t bring anyone in they would? We should swamp the Villa official page with #bringbackjt to show how much we want him back! (assuming most do?!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
