Villaphan04 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Heaton would be a really good shout for the rest of the season, but looking long term I saw that Man City were looking at an American keeper Zach Steffan. Might be worth it to look at him as well (pretty young and was apparently in really good form this past season. Get in another center half (or 2) and a LB as well and I'd wager we would be flirting with promotion come the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted December 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 2, 2018 Now we have Collins as cover I would not change our CB pairing. Therefore please can we have maybe a young talented LB and or RB for the future (and now) if one exists. Keeper situation is fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I am North East Bay now so its a trek. I watch more games on TV these days. The new Earthquakes stadium is really nice though!

Johnnyp Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Mceachran would be a very astute signing. A much better footballer than Hourihane, better footballing brain. Brentford would sell in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) What i would like - More reliable GK - Another CB - Left back - Dmf that is confident on the ball (a fernandinho type of player) Edited December 2, 2018 by villalad21 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying McEachran is not a good player he'a alright, but come on mate Hourihane pisses all over him in every aspect. I've seen potentially better players than McEachran in Lower leagues.

Granted he's a bit light but Conor doesn't exactly bust people up and forest walked through him the otgerf night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest. Granted he's a bit light but Conor doesn't exactly bust people up and forest walked through him the otgerf night. I think Emmanuel "Manny" Oyeleke (Port Vale) would be a much better player overall than McEachan who would cost the earth too and both 25 years old ! Oyeleke is an absolute baller and was at Brentford as a kid. Sometimes have to take a punt and Oyeleke is a very, very good player. Could easily do a Vardy and go to Prem League has all the ingredients to play the DM role well at Championship Level. Port Vale's best player by a country mile and that includes our young loanee Mitchell Clark. Oyeleke probably best player in League 2 on current form and ability 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These 2 sentences don't belong together, if Hourihane "pisses all over him in every aspect" McEachran is not a good player. Imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Tyrone Mings suggested on one of those click bait sites ..... not a bad shout as he was very highly rated until injury struck and halted his progression ... only 25 and can reportedly cover LB & CB ... him McKenna and someone like McTominlay and poss Heaton on loan and second place is looking a tad more realistic .... I only think we are 2 players short as I’m hopeful Bree & Mitchell Clark can step up and support/ replace Taylor and Hutton long term and sooner rather than later .... love to say I’m a villa fan for the first time since Randy & O’Neil first 18months ...Cheers Nassef, Wes , Dean for making it a good feeling to be a villa fan and roll on January !

Unfortunately, my family don't have much interest in going to games, so I rarely go anymore. I miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 My January Priority List: Goalkeeper DM CB/LB Cover I don't hate on our defense as much as some do around here, especially when it comes to Neil Taylor. That said, we need to bring in someone who can fill in at CB/LB on rotation. Goalkeeper and a DM for Smith's System are a priority, though. Hourihane isn't going to cut it for the whole season.

I do not rate him, he is featured too much in Mourinho's first team and we are already doing them a favour with Axel. One Man Utd loan player is enough me thinks.
