As far as new signings go.... âWhen we come back from South Korea I would expect the situation to change,â OâNeill told the clubâs website. âWeâre obviously in the market to try to strengthen our team. âI think thatâs pretty obvious â all football clubs will be trying to do that. âBut for us it would be nice to add a couple of fresh faces â not just for the sake of it, but to improve the quality of the squad which is what weâre trying to do.â Think it will be more than "a couple" we have lost Bendtner, Gyan and Gordon who all need replacing before we even look at improving what we have upon, as MoN said last season our squad was paper thin and since then bar the 3above we have lost Kyrgiakos who we have replaced with Cuellar and also the departure of Bridge. Think its gunna be a case of 6 or 7 rather than "a couple"
Defiantly mate, not just paper thin on numbers but also real quality. I think a couple of the young reserves will be given a good runout during preseason as well.
I think 6 total could be about right Poolie IMO the other 5 will be LB= Warnock / Anita CM= N`Zoni WINGER=McGeady / Matty Phillips CF= Fletcher CF= Saha / Guidetti / Agbonlahor
please, anyone but him! Would add nothing to our side, been poor for a few season's now, wasn't even a regular in a pretty poor Villa team last season, I hope we go for a better left back, Anita would be canny but think he would rather be in the midfield were he is better than our lot but him at left back with N'Zonzi in the middle would be decent
I would be happy with any of them Just who i think we will sign Poolie MoN had Warnock playing well when he signed him from Blackburn
He may not be a natural Left back but Richardson is 3 times better than Warnock is now. Would rather have Nick Shorey for free than waste a few million on Warnock. Cuellar was getting picked ahead of him at left back at Villa. Hes finished, bit like bridge really. Id love Matt Phillips and Fletcher. Think Saha is more realistic than Agbonlahor or Guidetti. I do think that that Agbonlahor and Fletcher could be a lethal combo but I can't see him leaving Villa
Shorey signed for Reading yesterday. Saha is class, if he can stay fit (I know it's a big if) he'll get you a few goals. Whoever signs him will get a good return. Somebody has to get hold of Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea next season, why not Sunderland? They are the type of players you have to be looking at to bolster a squad, risking £12-15m on Agbonlahor is a gamble that very few teams can afford.
Thats a spend of £30 mil at least... Gyan - £6 mil Mccartney - Free Angeleriv - 500k Riveros - £5 mil, wheres the rest coming from?
