Please do. You have been so spot on with bruce and xia previously. Barry, a player who tried to force a move to liverpool through the press. Loved a drink at city. Took the piss last year at albion. While an excellent player and one of my all time villa favourites, it's just not the signing we should be doing at this point. Unless we are just happy staying down here. Which as i said, with xia and bruce, i believe the club probably are more than happy with that. Edited June 23, 2018 by DCJonah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted June 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 23, 2018 He seems like a sensible man because he looks very boring and his name is Gareth Barry. That doesn't mean he'd be a good signing. A romantic one perhaps, but not a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another old player with no chance of making money on and not really good enough to make a big impact on the team. Would be wasting more money and spending another year down here. Which is basically what i expect from bruce and xia for the upcoming year. We don’t need to only bring in players that we have a chance of making money on, Jonah. If the deal is right (ie: ridiculously low wages in Barry’s case) then any signing shouldn’t be written off simply because there’s no sell-on value. We won’t make any money off loan signings but I bet you’d have Snodgrass back in a heartbeat. Let’s not make the mistake of also thinking that just because a player isn’t lighting up the Premier League, that there isn’t a chance that he has a part to play down in the Championship. Most people wanted rid of Clark and Baker when we got relegated, but I bet we’d have them back now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Kenneth Omeruo could be a player we go for. Chelsea have signed him for so long but we could try a loan bid. Always looks good for Nigeria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to see him come back if the cost is right for us, I'm sure we can raise the money through sales for a low fee, ditto for Hernandez.

Until Kodja is sold though (and maybe we have no intention of selling him) we have him Hogan, Davis, Hepburn Murphy is apparently being looked at as more of a first teamer. Then we also have McCormack on the books still. Until one is sold in our current financial situation that will probably have to suffice when you consider we only have 1 centre back. Thats the more pressing concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
