DCJonah Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 15 minutes ago, KentVillan said: We don't disagree. I know that's the long-term plan. But short term Hourihane will be in contention for DM. Only because Luiz is not in the country and Nakamba has only just signed, not because dean smith rates him as a dm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Would be interesting if Lansbury started against Leipzig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 16 hours ago, KentVillan said: I think a lot of people are underestimating Dean Smith's opinion of Hourihane. Remember he stuck by him through a torrid run of games last season, and also gambled on him starting the play-off final, after leaving him out against West Brom? Hourihane will get given a chance in the first couple of games, and then how soon we see Luiz, Nakamba, etc. will probably depend on how he copes. I'm not saying I'm particularly confident in Hourihane as a lone DM, but just have a feeling Smith will want to show some faith in him. Every time I convince myself that Hourihane will be a squad player this season the phrase "20 goals and assists last season" pops into my mind.

alreadyexists Posted August 1, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 1, 2019 Wow, he looks so good. Powerful, pacey, great dribbler, strong and good passer. He could be a really key player for us this year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LxYoungAVFC Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Judging by his Insta Story it looks like he's still in Brazil. I'm a bit worried he may not get a work permit, it's taking too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In essence, the WP is granted and Dougie will be in Germany with the squad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope we can get this work permit sorted before the Spurs game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okore and Amavi were both derailed by cruciate injuries and it also delayed Delph's development for a couple of years. It could also be argued that the same injury prevented Gary Gardner (I know, I know) from realising his potential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s good we have options but the later signings may need more time to settle. So, there's the chant courtesy of VLV... Instead of Sali-Salifou... we've got; "Dougie... Dougie Lou... Dougie...
