We could offer Richards & McCormack plus £3 mill as a sweetener I think he's someone we should definitely definitely go for. Can play everywhere and a great option for Grealish/McGinn.

dudevillaisnice Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I’d like the obvious centre half situation sorted out, Jedinak and Whelan’s contracts are up in the summer too I think it’s an ideal time to bring in someone younger to adapt and take over.. unless we renew and keep both although I’m not convinced that’s the plan. Hopefully Jesus Garcia can find us a gem or two. Be interesting to see how much we have to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t but they would all be good signings for some one. Maybe something to look at next summer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I am really interested to see which players we go for this Jan, would absolutely love to be a fly on the wall when they are discussing their probable targets for Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Heaton and a decent left back are all we really need assuming we're going to sign Collins/bring Elphick back, anything else would just be a bonus in my opinion. Don't particularly rate either of those two, but considering Tuanzebe/Chester is our first choice pairing I think Collins and Elphick are perfectly serviceable as back up options that will hopefully not have to play too much. Nyland just can't be trusted, even when he has a good game he's never far off a disaster, and evidently the two keepers we have in reserve can't be trusted enough for him to be dropped so that needs sorting. Taylor is playing fine but he can be improved on, and on top of that he's our only left back so signing one is a no-brainer really. I don't think it's imperative that we get in a DM, but obviously if Conor/Thor can be improved upon I won't be complaining. Ideally we'd have a ball-playing yet defensively capable player for that position but it's a very specialist role that's hard to fit the perfect player for at this level really. Apart from that we're well-stocked elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I think yohann barbet makes sense. Smith knows him and he is in final 6 months of his contract. So should be beatable for a reasonable fee. Has looked solid when I have seen him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I like the thought of El Ghazi, Bolassie and Grealish taking the piss out of defenders for the rest of the season. I'll always think fondly of Snodgrass but wouldn't be in my starting XI now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 For some reason I completely trust DS in the transfer market. Not sure why, just have a good feeling about it. And I can honestly say that's the first time I've felt that about a Villa manager. Pretty sure DS has a solid overview of potentially good buys from the lower divisions. Will be nice to buy some reasonably priced talent instead of the overpaid dross we've signed the last 10 years. Bruce deserves credit for McGinn though. More of that please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's down to him having a clear idea of how he want's to play and therefor will be able to find players suited to said way. And also that the club seem to have better structure and people handling this stuff now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
