We're still breathing now. We could really do with getting a point or three at Burnley though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 53 minutes ago, HanoiVillan said: Does anyone else remember the last time we were in this division, when Remi Garde was managing us, and we spent the January window attempting to sign Seydou Doumbia, only for him to decide to join Newcastle instead, and then they spent about three months waiting for him to get up to speed physically and ended up only giving him 1 or 2 starts? We need to not be like either end of that this time. Khazri was the main player from that period I recall, actually played a big part in Sunderland staying up but then lost interest when Big Sam left. Doing well in France again. Actually on Hulk there was a piece on him dating the neice of his ex wife so not sure he's fully focused on football atm! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From those highlights he looks much more than just a CDM to be fair. Looks strong, powerful, with some skill, can drive forward and also score. More box to box (Can do it all) Then again the video is about 30 seconds long. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Garde actually stabilised our results a bit in January, something like 2 losses in 10 but then got no signings at the end of it. Just knew that the club had given up completely by then.

OxfordVillan Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 We need power, pace, & athleticism in CM & CF. They are the 2 areas most vital for us to improve on imo. Finding improvement at CF shouldn’t be too difficult with what we currently have. We could actually do with a couple more players in at CM in truth, we are so weak there. Fingers crossed we have a good January transfer window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a short term ish experienced head there I think. Can get away with it when Mings is out there given we were getting draws and wins with him on a semi regular basis but one injury to him and we're down to inexperienced kids which Konsa and Hause simply are at this level. Engels more experienced but he struggles without Mings alongside him. We should've got Cahill back on a one year deal. The limitations of our transfer strategy. We'd have probably turned our noses up at Paul McGrath all those years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think this has anything to do with Engels. Vida can play Right Back as well. Have seen some fans say he is great, and some say he is turd. So got no clue.

Cue 'but we need a bloody striker first!' comments, because of course player transfers are done in strict order of fan anxiety. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Wonder what this means in regards to Mings injury if we are after our 5th CB signing for the season? Mings might be a bit more serious than we hope. Or it could just be an interned rumor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts either a Right side CB, of Right Back, backup. As we have also seen, we are only 2 or 3 injuries away from a quality crisis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
