sne Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 So with our new Sporting Director, Manager and Assistant Manager in place, who do we think we'll be looking at in January? Wonder if Terry might be able to lure Gary Cahill back to Villa? We sorely need a solid CB to partner Chester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted October 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 11, 2018 x2 cheap fancy spanish players who like to pass it and a solid CB please. Maybe swap 2 of our keepers for a good one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blunther Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 We all know we need LB CB GK. I’m sure the manager already does, and if not he will soon. I suppose we’ll find out just how much of a financial pickle we are or are not in 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 I really hope we move away from paying top dollars for Championship players, long expensive contracts to elderly PL players and covering huge contracts for on loan players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I'm hoping to see Tuanzebe play CB alongside Chester and actually fulfill at least some of the potential that a Manchester United prospect should. I'm hoping the organisational qualities implemented by Smith that pressure, force turnovers and errors when our opponents are trying to play their game will help eradicate the inevitability of our defense being penetrated which we saw under Bruce. I personally think we are good for full backs as we are, for this season. GK is the only position in which I am not confident that Terry and Smith will be able to coach to a standard that will be required for a 50%+ win rate from here on out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 What kind of players has Smith tended to sign? Obviously he will have a very different budget here, but has he tended to buy British or will he have a working knowledge of European bargains? That's assuming transfers have been or will be under his remit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Smith is a fan. He will know what is required at the club just as the rest of us do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
