Richard Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Not as bad as it seems then as there is still some hope. If Maloney does sign he'll be the only one IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFart Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I'm sure that a couple of weeks ago when everyone was saying "oh when oh when are we going to sign anybody" MON said something like "There'll probably be 2 signings and 2 loans".

Trinity-Tom Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I guess he could be trying to play down things so we get a real surprise. Not that bothered to be honest. There is no rush for new players now! (Well not until the summer anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocafella Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 We haven't signed players good enough to challenge for Europe anyway, so no biggie really. We will challenge better in the summer when the market is normal again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJim Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I'll be extremely disappointed if we don't get any midfield cover. At the very least we are going to be in trouble if or rather when GM is out. Can't believe it really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CockneyVillan Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I like him but he's kinda pissed on my cornflakes there i was looking forward to staying up till twelve holding out hope that we'd pull off a massive coup (ok another one) never mind very happy with what weve got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitzlsperger Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I agree. We need another strong GM type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinity-Tom Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 It's not that bad Big Jim. FWIW, if there was midfield cover available which was better than what we currently have then I think we would have signed them. McCann is an important player for us no doubt but we have more flexibility in the latter third of the pitch now which means, to me anyway, that we can cope better without him than we could in the first half of the season.

At the very least we are going to be in trouble if or rather when GM is out. Can't believe it really.Agree with you Jim. With Gavs 'style' of play he usually misses a few games with injury or picking up bookings.And whether rated or not,we miss him when he's not playing.

Yes it is, it's terrible 2. I said before the window opened that the "nobody available" line is pure, unadulterated BS. Nobody available in the whole of the footballing world better than Tina and Oz ? Do me a favour. 3. We can have all the flexibility in the world in the forward line, but if we can't get the ball off the opposition there won't be much chance to exploit it.

JB Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 We haven't signed players good enough to challenge for Europe anyway, so no biggie really. Strongly disagree there. Young and particularly Carew are players fit for the European stage and are the first phase of our push to the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCann is an important player for us no doubt but we have more flexibility in the latter third of the pitch now which means, to me anyway, that we can cope better without him than we could in the first half of the season. I do however think we should be aiming to replace Gavin McCann with a better player, making him the cover. Don't you agree he would be happy to stay at Villa, giving his best, even though he wasn't a starter? Like some of us assessed in the "McCann for England"-thread: There are as many as 10 players better than McCann in the central midfield position, shouldn't we aim to get one of the players who are better? Even invest in player from other countries who match those players? I like his tackling, eagerness and love for Villa, but it counts for nothing when his lack of attacking abilities springs out. I don't know Maloney a lot, but his attacking skills would do good when we meet shit sides like Watford and field McCann to attack. Oddly enough, he was the one to unleash the shot that led to the goal against Watford, but I hope I am not the only one who think that was a fluke..... For us to challenge the top European sports, we need a new left back, a new central midfielder and a new attacker. Perhaps even a right back as Bardsley most likely will leave. Easy as that, players like McCann and Bouma in the first-XI won't give us European football and I am sorry to upset some of you with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCresswell Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Well if we don't bring anybody in then: a) No excuses for having a squad not big enough I hope we don't play like we were underprepared tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
