A good quality first team keeper to replace Nyland (We may aswell also cut Moriera's loan short and free up a loan slot). We need a real quality first team CB that will near enough start every game for us. {Whether that is through another loan then so be it, or if it's a signing then ideally they have to be good enough and of a decent age to be good enough in the premier league}. If Elphick does not return to play rotation with Axel & Chester then we look to sign someone like a Samba type of signing - won't play that much but will be good enough to do a job if called upon. (Collins on a 6 month contract maybe?) We also need a decent quality LB. Midfield and Attack are fine. I think we will have enough resources to make this happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rated very highly on whoscored for tackles and interceptions. I remember him being decent at VP a couple of seasons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaton Cahill Targett Holding midfielder (Ben Pearson maybe?) Recall Elphick as backup, or sign Huth for 6 months as backup I can’t remember Ben Pearson but his manager thinks he is one the best players in the league in his position. Agree with the others. Would be a superb window if we pulled that off but looks very loan heavy so wouldn’t we struggle to field certain players? I think Heaton is likely and any other signings will be a surprise. edit: you’re allowed 5 loan players so only expecting one more loan signing in January to allow Axel, bolasie, el Ghazi, Abraham and ?

In the match day squad. Nyland is a loan and assuming he won't be in the squad anymore means Heaton can slot right in. Cahill would be the other loan. Alternatively we can push to make one of the deals permanent (preferably Tammy) or outright sign one of the targets, Cahill probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Lawrence Shankland who i mentioned into in the summer has scored 4 goals tonight for Ayr vs Dundee United 35 in 38 for Ayr. 21 in 21 this season. Have seen the kid play and he is a natural goalscorer. Could easily do a John McGinn down here. 200k meant in original post i hope villa scouts are watching him could’ve another bargain Edited November 30, 2018 by Villan4Life 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkiller1981 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Collins on a 6 week deal will be interesting to see if he plays. At the moment I’m not sure Chester is 100% so maybe Collins would allow him a break. and nyland is a perm signing it’s the guy from athletico Madrid on loan which hopefully we can cancel.

Chicken Field Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I don't believe any link to any central back, until that person is left footed. Have the feeling that Smith is desperate. Would not be surprised to see Tuanzebe right back today with Chester and that Revan guy in the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSteveUK Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Would not be surprised to see Axel & Revan in the middle - Deano is that type of manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
