srsmithusa Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 American keeper Zach Steffen looked good against France and from the MLS probably wouldn’t cost too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other areas we should be looking at prior to gk, personally think steer can do a job, especially if money is that tight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srsmithusa Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) I’m sure ya’ll are right. But long-term an American in the squad will build an American fan base and for long term stability an international fan base will be a huge plus. But I think you are right short-term crisis thinking will win the day. On the other hand. Short-term thinking is what got us in this mess. Maybe it’s time to think differently Edited June 10, 2018 by srsmithusa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Brum mail reporting RHM will move up, and we are after one more striker on loan. Can see Kodjia or Hogan leaving too. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/goal-getter-aston-villa-turn-14768755 Aston Villa will integrate Rushian Hepburn-Murphy into the first-team next season. The 19-year-old is set to go on the pre-season training camp to Portugal with the seniors at the start of next month.

rodders0223 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Get some tanks in. Get some athletes in. Get some youth that will run through brick walls every 3 days. Kyle Walker Peters loan Tuanzebe loan Tomori loan Onomah loan Kieran Dowell loan All on relatively low salaries and won't be getting much game time at their parent clubs this season.

GingerCollins29 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Loans are the way to go. Young, hungry and talented. All brought in to complement a playing style that suits grealish. Fit and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most that followed us for that time have forgotten and moved on. They could come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHM RHM isn't a winger, not by any stretch of the imagination, he's an out and out centre forward, For me, he's better than Davis, although Davis has played for our first team a lot more but RHM has been injured a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Davis's hold-up play is better. RHM is more of a shoulder man. I think he could work as a 'wide-striker' in a front 3? That's actually Kodjia's best position IMO.

I agree that Davis's hold up play is better but RHM's isn't bad at that at all Not for me, RHM would be wasted out wide, his finishing is too good, he needs to be the main man I think Kodjia is best as the main striker too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
