kevangrealish Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 As for fischer, ive never heard of him. My knowledge on players has dropped over the years due to not enough FM. But I put all my trust into PL bringing the best players in. Is he CAM btw ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfingers Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Why bother spending so much money to get him back ? Young was one of the best players I seen down villa park but I reckon Jordan Graham can reach his potential within the next few years if he impresses. Have we been linked with Young? Doubt he'd want to come back & doubt Lambert would be interested in signing him anyway. Ironicly,I think Young is tailor made for our 3-man attacking system. For some reason,it rarely works in football when a player or a manager goes back so I'd say thanks but no thanks to Ashley Young-The exact opposite of what Lambert is trying to bring in.

vandaq Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Fischer is a lw primarily. Do remember that Eriksen is like 3-4 years older. Anyway, it doesn`t make sense, like at all. Would love someone new though, just to have that extra edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Have we seriously been linked to Fischer? As in Viktor Fischer? A different Fischer? If it's Viktor. Holy **** yes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macca1888 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Viktor Fischer was in the Ajax team that took on our youngsters a couple of years ago in the NextGen. Along with Gary Gardner he was one of the players of the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted August 20, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2013 I honestly don't think we could find a plaice in our team for another midfielder. Surely any team could find a space in any position for a player that would improve their side? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Spurs: Dembele, Sandro, Capoue, Paulhino, Holtby, Townsend, Sigurdsson, Lennon, Chadli, possibly Willian and Bale (or Lamela as his replacement). 11. Villa: Westwood, KEA, Delph, Sylla, Gardner, Bacuna, Tonev, NZogbia, Albrighton, Herd - (to go) Bannan, Ireland, - 12. But the last 5 of those I wouldn't expect to make many appearances, if any. suppose you could include Gabby, Weimann and Helenius as they may take on midfield/AM roles. I think once Bannan, Ireland and possibly Herd, Marc and Charles are gone we could easily fit another midfielder or two into the squad as long as they are the right type of midfielder.

abdomlahor Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 One player I would love us to sign is Roberto Firmino from Hoffenheim. Plays in the #10 role behind the striker, and can play out wide too. Scored two goals and got three assists against Hamburg in a 5-1 win recently. Unbelievable performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Firmino would be a decent signing. Has enough quality to add to the side straight away but definitely fits the young and lots of potential criteria. For an attacking player, and a brazilian one at that, he also works really hard for the team and isn't shy to get back and help out by putting tackles in. He's only young so it's a little harsh to judge him too much on it but despite starting a lot of games in 11/12 (26) and 12/13 (29) he only registered 2 assists in each of those seasons, which really isn't enough for somebody in that position, particularly in the German league which was really progressed a lot of youngsters in that role who have been getting assists for fun - i.e. De Bruyne, Kiyotake, Kagawa etc, obviously those are high class players but you would expect somebody in that role to be chipping in with a few assists. Only seen him play a couple of times but he always looked a handful, not afraid to take a player on has a couple of tricks up his sleeve just often he'll do it quite often and run into trouble, different styles but not dissimilar to NZogbia in that respect but at only 21 we could certainly coach it out of him. That said, as you mentioned, he already has 3 assists this season so maybe he's started to add that to his game and he would definitely be a very good buy if he could chip in with say 7 - 10 assists and 5 or 6 goals over a season. Think Lambert would be more likely to look for someone who already has a real natural ability to find that killer ball who is perhaps under valued somewhere but I'd definitely welcome the signing of Firmino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bullshitting Itk on twitter who also claimed we were offered Young and he'll be leaving Utd? I heard that about Young 3 weeeks ago and it wasnt from a twitter ITK account. Was actually from a utd Fan. Can't see us taking him back on his wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
