supermon Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I'd have take Shane Long all day, he's been great for WBA, what are they thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Shane Long would be superb competition for Andi. Theyre essentially the same style of play so would suit us perfectly. Bizarre they are offing him to Hull and replacing with Anichebe. Absolutely mental. I think Anichebe is there to fill a Lukaku sized hole! Odemwingie, Lukaku and Long out Anichebe, Vydra and Anelka in. Not sure what to make of that. If Anelka can get some form he'll be an asset, Vydra is quality but not sure they can replace Lukaku and Long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted September 2, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 2, 2013 Happy with a lot of the signings. Feel we're gunna have plenty of dull games at Villa Park where we'll struggle to unlock the opposition's defence.... but hey, we don't need creativity eh.

There's going to be the odd game (like Liverpool - who've not conceded a goal in the league yet) but mainly that hasn't been a problem for most of this calendar year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the players are new to the PL be interesting to see how quickly they adapt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Maybe we'll see a late night loan swoop a la Dawkins. Happy with a lot of the signings.

Its been some time since we had the problem of not unlocking a teams defence. There's going to be the odd game (like Liverpool - who've not conceded a goal in the league yet) but mainly that hasn't been a problem for most of this calendar year I think that's because teams have seen us as beatable so would come to VP and go win. Now I'm sure some of the relegation teams will come and make sure to defend deep and not let us counter attack. It's that type of scenario where we'd play a bit of midfield guile and it's a position where those players are naturally gifted and get spotted more often than other positions. It;s why we have had trouble filling it as we're priced out of the few we were linked with. I think Tonev might grow into that position if he stops being a luntic and lears to speak English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bose Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 If Sigurðsson really is available then he'll surely go to us rather than Sunderland? He'd be a perfect player for us and the biggest bonus would be his set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
