juteface Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I said it about a week ago. Hiroshi Kiyotake. If we were in for a Japanese midfielder it's probably this guy. 23 years old, good at going forward, plays in the Bundesliga, has a decent assist/goal per game ratio and could be picked up for a few million. Always wanted a technical Japanese midfielder at Villa. They're free kick wizards usually. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh621 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Just in case anyone is interested, sky sports have recently reported on Belhanda again (yesterday i think?). Same old news though, take that as you will! Kiyotake is a good thought. I wish Lambert wasnt such a tease, its like christmas as a kid, except your parents making you play hide and seek with the presents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 This could be a great window, not signings wise, but who actually leaves the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Anybody clued up about Tom Ince? I see Cardiff have agreed a fee to sign him, from what I've seen he seems very good and I find it odd that he isn't going to anybody bigger. Would he be a good shout for us?

Better hope Okore and Luna take to the league like a duck to water or else we'll be shipping goals again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Whilst it seems we are busy recruiting lots of midfielders, im still a little worried about our tight defence I can't see Vlaar or Lowton being replaced and we've bought in options for the other 2 positions. I'm afraid you're going to have to swallow that worry as I can't imagine any more defensive options will be arriving this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid you're going to have to swallow that worry as I can't imagine any more defensive options will be arriving this year. Possibly a back up/ competition right back? Young lad similar profile to Lowton? I'd imagine that'll be covered between Herd and Bacuna, but I may be wrong. Bearing in mind Lowton played every minute in the Premiership for us last year, then hopefully it won't be a problem area.

Without being fussy, Lowton didn't quite manage every minute of every PL game last season if i remember right, didn't he come off injured early in the Norwich match?

Shillzz Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Bah, that is being fussy. But fair enough, nearly every minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexbelowsound Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Defending is a whole team job. Our midfield has a part to play also. Hopefully the naivety from some our players will have gone and that will be all that is needed to sort out our leaky defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I must have missed it, large thread I mentioned it last week as well, he'd be a cracking signing but probably not even on the radar. He's only finishing his first year in Germany.

Lambert probably knows what this lad's first pet was called. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
