KMitch Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Honestly, I'm hoping that Purslow/Suso/Smith are planning on just getting us through this season to the summer before we start the massive rebuild. I think we tried to get our first choice targets done quickly, but if the price isn't right, we aren't going to be baited into overspending this window. If we get promoted, great! We'll sign a higher caliber of player this summer. If not, we'll still replace the players out of contract with better signings. If this summer rolls around and we're still penny-pinching, I'll start to get worried. I'm confident that this isn't the case, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some regarded him as one of the best LB in the league. At 32 he should still be able to do a job. I'd prefer someone for the future and not a loan, but short term it can perhaps be very good business. Come to think of it, It does smell a bit of Ritchie De Laet over this one though. A tall lanky full back from Leicester who has already peaked and comes from a small central European country and has a funny name.

I honestly think that Taylor hasn't been bad at LB under Smith. He's had some solid performances already, but we've looked dreadful with Hutton filling in for him this past month. If this loan is to just provide cover for Taylor, I'm for it. We can sign a long term left back this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I guess if it's Fuchs or nobody i'd always pick Fuchs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Fuchs or Hutton, despite not having seen Fuchs that much or knowing his current form I'd take him over Hutton at LB any day of the week.

Something is off with those numbers. I thought the same, the number of games missed relative to days out seems incorrect. If the dates are anywhere near correct though those are 2 very long layoffs over the last few year. If they are correct and he only returned on the 23rd of November 2018 after 14 months out, he can't have played many games in that time and it would seem somewhat of gamble?

I've not watched a single PL game since our relegation so I can't recall ever watching Fuchs play, that said I'd still be confident in declaring him a better LB than Alan Hutton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AshVilla Posted January 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Fuchs is such a shit signing even on loan. He's already talking about going to america in the summer and retiring to play in the MLS because his wife is american. Doesn't strike me as the type who will have the motivation and hunger we need to get us out of this division. We need a McGinn type workhorse not someone who is already on daytona beach sipping pina colada's. Edited January 11, 2019 by AshVilla 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Just looking at the 'out of contract 2019' thread and it rams home just how shit our transfer policy has been. We have spent an awful lot of money on what is a pretty awful squad. My biggest hope with Smith was this is something that would take a turn for the better, though i feel the signing of Kalinic is more of same. Not that I don't think the guy isn't a good keeper but £6/7m must be close to championship record for a keeper? And we don't really know how it's going to turn out. We need to start looking at value signings for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted January 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2019 Not exactly surprising, but reassuring nonetheless. We’re still looking to add to the squad and hopefully improving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
