dudevillaisnice Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I like Olsson but he would be a luxury full back we cannot afford at moment. a left side of Olsson and N'zogbia be a right wingers wet dream I'd rather someone less positionally suspect. Agree with the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnock1984 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Would be happy with him, and like the fact he has premier league experience unlike Cresswell/Bennet, Kind of kills two birds with one stone too as he can also play left wing which we need. If he is gash defensively, we can use him as a midfielder all the time and sign another left back - happy days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewavfc Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Think Olsson would be a great addition, particularly considering PL's preference for roving fullbacks. Ok so he may not be the best defensively, but he has 4 goals from 12 international appearances, which is feckin' great for a left back IMO. Also his agent is also the agent of Ola Toivonen from PSV, so, you know, two birds etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I like him but we'd need this DCM enforcer we've been talking about to watch the fort whilst he ventured forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Well he fits the description of attacking left back certainly. For 3-4m I'd be happy to get him in tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I would take Olsson because he is better than what we have, which is close to nothing. But let's be honest, Martin Olsson is not very good either. He is decent, mediocre, pick your adjective really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Wouldn't be too unhappy if we signed him - don't know if he's as creative as Baker though. :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted August 24, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2012 West Brom make a move for Blackburn's Martin Olsson WEST Bromwich Albion have made a move for Blackburn Rovers defender Martin Olsson - as they step up their pursuit of left-sided defensive cover. The Baggies have been in talks with counterparts at Ewood Park with a view to signing the Sweden international on a permanent deal. Olsson, an international team-mate of namesake Jonas and recent signing Markus Rosenberg, plays as a left-back, but can also operate further up the field. The 24-year-old, who has three years left to run on a five-year deal, has not played this season, having handed in a transfer request during the summer. Albion and Blackburn recently held positive discussions over the potential switch of Simon Cox, only for Rovers to ditch their pursuit and look elsewhere. Whether Albion can come to an agreement with Rovers and the player himself remains to be seen, not least as there are other clubs monitoring him. A potential alternative left-back option is Copenhagen’s Bryan Oviedo. The Costa Rican left-back was watched recently by Albion, with representatives due to see him play again. Oviedo was first linked with Albion earlier this summer. The club have now resumed their interest as the Danish league is now underway, with Oviedo playing in their 1-0 Champions League victory against Lille earlier this week.
