screwdriver Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Ravel Morrison - should we bring him in as cover for grealish? Villa are a meat and potatoes team without super jack we need someone who can do something unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatley in terms of predictability I think at this stage of his career he’d be more likely to steal the keys to JTs car than win us a football match.

Nigel Posted December 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2018 1 hour ago, John said: Surely Moreia or Sarkic or even Bunn can sit on the bench for a couple of games? That depends on the injury. If he's out for a while we need decent cover for a brand new keeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post John Posted December 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2018 Whilst we are looking at the prospect of recalling loan players does anyone else think that Gary Gardner has become so crucial to Small Heath that we should bring him home rather than leave him to catch something there? After all, what have they ever done for us and why should we help a club that hates us and that is currently (albeit temporarily) above us? Just imagine how those knuckle draggers would react! It's the least we should do isn't it? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) To be honest Brentford have always struck me as a side that are greater than the sum of their parts, whose overall structure and playing style have got them where they are rather than individual talent. They have some good players but the fact is that they're 18th in the league and I think that we can do better than aim for whoever they have playing in whatever position it is we need to fill. I'm sure they have certain players that could definitely improve us, but I swear a player from Brentford has been suggested as a signing for every possible position at some point on here. Can only echo what has been said repeatedly above that a new CB/LB/DCM are required to bring us to the next level in this window. Could also desperately do with a better right back but I think the fact we actually have numbers there might put the breaks on that, and because of how threadbare we are in the other positions they should take priority anyway. However hopefully the silver lining might be that Bree can make that position his own after having this run in the side he's on at the moment.

I appreciate you're entitled to your own opinion but that's pretty disrespectful. Why is it disrespectful to suggest Smith isn't a proper manager if that's what my opinion is? Is it disrespectful to suggest Steve Bruce wasn't a proper manager? FWIW, you've taken my comment the wrong way. Just because I think Bolasie needs a 'solid core' and 'proper manager' to flourish isn't necessarily a reflection on Smith. I wouldn't have appointed Smith and I said before we signed Bolasie that it would likely be a bad career move for him. My comment was more of an endorsement of Pulis and Allardyce who have proven they can get the best out of players like Bolasie. I'm not sure Smith is capable of it to be honest.

Except Allardyce and Pulis are at least a level or two above Bruce in terms of quality. Both are able to get the best out of players who are underperforming whereas Bruce can't.
