gurru991 Posted December 24, 2019 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 24, 2019 The club is now in a very difficult position in the January transfer window. Any player coming in will know its a relegation battle & will want a clause in case the worst happens. The selling club will want a high price knowing that Villa are desperate. It does look like the loan market could be the best bet but will only defer the problem until the Summer unless the loan has an option to buy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who will lead by example and give others around him a rollicking. Someone with abit of steel. A keane or Viera type mentality. Are there any of those left?

( For top players "loans" a la West Ham years ago). At the recent World Club Cup competition, here in Qatar, the likes of Monterey and Flamengo had some brilliant players on display. Yes they lost out in the end but those players are so damn technical and skilled it's insane! Although I'm guessing the Spanish sides probably poach all the South Americans. Not necessary mate Watford have just signed another Brazilian wonder kid (Joao Pedro from Fluminense FC) he is arriving in January. after they signed Richarlison a few years back out of nowhere and made a massive profit. probably is we get stung on work permits but likes of Watford never seem to do... But we always have issue with them! Edited December 24, 2019 by Villan4Life 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Semi Ajayi of Baggies, they signed him from Rotherham in summer! He is a no-nonsense DCM. Pity as Baggies wouldn't deal with us! He only cost £1.5mil too. He's ex Charlton youngster.. He's Been very impressive this season that lad and holds everything together so well!!! Letting Matheus Pereira & Grady Diangana cause some serious damage going forward.

Would love that but can’t see them letting a player that has featured in 18 games this season leave in Jan when they aren’t able to replace him. Giroud has featured in 7 so if any striker’s allowed to leave it will be him. Edited December 24, 2019 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
