Jordanderve Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Happy to finally see this spate of links to players, I think 4 good signings and we're looking a very solid unit. Of the many linked to us in the last 48 hours or so, i'm confident we could realistically get to a good first team and strong bench when all fit... --------------------- Guzan ------------------------- Lowton ------ Vlaar ----- Dawson ------ Bennett -------------- N’Zonzi ---El Ahmadi --------------- Holman ---------------------------------- Downing ------------- Benteke --- Bent --------------------- Subs 1. Given (only here as I think he needs a wake up call) 2. Dunne 3. Clark 4. Lichaj 5. Ireland 6. Nzogbia 7. Gabby Now that is a bench of players all of whom are capable of coming on and adding quality, not just make up the numbers. Lambert also likes to rotate - and again this group would alow him to do that as well as change formation if he wanted. Plus, you have a healthy set of squad players to move up to the subs bench when injuries mean our regular players are out... Baker Bannan Herd Weiman (unlucky to miss the bench) Fonz etc Agreed for the most part although I personally wouldn't like us to go near Dawson (high wages, no resale value and slow). We have Dunne who has these attributes. Also, the team you have outlined includes 5 signings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Benteke, Downing, Cresswell and Dawson would be amazing business if we could pull it off. Would improve our squad immensely. Hopefully Gabby, Marc and Dunne get fit soon so we can finally be competitive again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Dawson, Nzonzi, downing. & Benteke Get realistic that lot would cost £50m Simply won't happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 the thing with barton though, although he is a thuggish shit weasel, he actually cares about losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'd take relegation over seeing Barton in a villa shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Benteke Nzonzi/Frimpong (loan) LB Winger This would make me happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Would be fantastic if we could manage to sign Cresswell, N'Zonzi, Adam and Benteke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parisvilla Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 This love in with N'Zonzi is pretty disconcerting. Been absolutely turd since he signed that big 5 year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Dunne who has these attributes. Also, the team you have outlined includes 5 signings! Yes, the only one I included who I questioned was Dawson - however, I think this is an area where we need someone with experience and proven in this league, especially if we're going to have young fullbacks who are used to the lower leagues.

Villarocker Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I just wish we would sign a decent left back, another winger, a big, young and energetic centre forward - and finally - a big, imposing centre midfielder to win us some of the ball! Throw in Lichaj at right back until Lowton has had time to settle in and then we might have a decent enough side to make a fist of things this season.
