magnkarl Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 God how I miss Petrov. Sign someone who's fat and lazy for midfield for all I care, as long as he can keep the likes of Delph, Bannan and Westwood calm and collected. We fall apart when anything negative happens to us.

Bannan does exactly what Petrov did for the team - they are incredibly similar in their style. What we need is a tough tackling CDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Bannan inspire people? Does Bannan talk? No he doesn't. Bannan goes for Hollywoodpasses all night long and barely contributes. Westwood is 10 times better for the Bannan role.

Jarpie Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Aston Villa, fresh from humiliation in the Capital One Cup, will now step up their search for signings and want Derby County midfielder Jeff Hendrick. From Express & Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwood is 10 times better for the Bannan role. First part - no, he's not the captain and is different to Petrov in that respect, fair point. Second part - total and utter rubbish. This 'hollywood pass' thing is complete and utter bullshit, as is saying that he doesn't contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knvilla772 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Bannan should never wear a premier league shirt again, I would love him to prove me wrong, but every pass he plays is launched in the general direction of benteke or goes to a full back, that is not an inspirational playmaker in my opinion. And with his size he is never going to be the boss of a midfield so what exactly is his role?? The sooner he is replaced the better, anyone else notice against baggies with him off the pitch we played well. He came on second half and our performance fell to pieces! Need an experienced player to come him and offer Westwood some assistance as he can grow and become a good solid player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 23, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2013 Delph: Effort = Excellent Ability = Shite Decision Making = Shite Conclusion: Championship player at best Position played last night... DM!! wtf? why have we still not signed a DM? He wasn't playing DM last night until Bannan went off. He was left of a midfield Diamond. And FWIW I thought he was very good in the first half.

ender4 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Delph & Bannan were probably our worst 2 players last night. Its not their fault, they don't have the skill to perform. They should be squad players, and therefore we need to sign some players!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yes more links to quality players in the media. Can't we just sign players who have proven quality. We can't go filling the team with more lower league players. We need experienced quality and fast. A new manager would also be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second part - total and utter rubbish. This 'hollywood pass' thing is complete and utter bullshit, as is saying that he doesn't contribute. I disagree. I'm sure he thinks he's David Beckham. He is always trying to make that perfect cross to make a name for himself instead of keeping it simple. 9 out of 10 corners are shit too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 as said before, the more championship and lower league players we buy, the more likely we will end up there as that is their level next seasons team when were in the championship marshall lowton - baker - clark - bennett albrighton - westwood - bannan - delph delfouneso - bowery doesnt that just fill you with confidence?...

samjp26 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 My good friend, who is a sports journalist, randomly text me at 6am saying "very cheeky bid for M'Vila". No, I am not claiming to be 'ITK' or any of that bullshit but what a prick, we're never going to be the 'mystery' club that is in for him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 It means he is taking responsibility for the shite we just witnessed rather than blaming Lerner. I admire that personally especially given that I don't actually agree with him entirely. Admiring his dignity is one thing but do you admire his ability in management?

jacketspuds Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Here is a list of players I think we need in order to survive this season... CB - Hangeland/Jonas Olsson DM - M'Vila/Sissoko ACM - Coutinho/Kranjcar Winger - Sinclair (Loan) Obviously it won't happen because of wages etc but I can't see us surviving without players of this level of quality, experience or both.

Keyblade Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Alou Diarra wants out of West Ham. Exactly the type of player we need. Not sure if he's wants to play for another C&B Macron team though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyp_avfc Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hendrick is more of an attacking midfielder..... We need a CDM M'vila/Sissoko please......... Doubt that will happen..... Doubt Milwall will sell their CDM before playing us either!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt Milwall will sell their CDM before playing us either!! He plays for Derby doesn't he? According to Fifa13 he is a ball winner and a good passer of the ball.
