I'm saying if Mc goes before the end of the window we will sign Jordan Rhodes, thoughts?



25 Jan 2017 21:32:02
I hope not, rhodes has made it be known he favours wednesdays' brand of football, so if he ain't happy coming here, he can stumble on somewhere else, seeing as he's having such a stellar career so far, what with proving he can cut it in the prem. and all that!



25 Jan 2017 18:39:42
5.58pm James confirmed joining Barnsley. Come on get that a per signed!



25 Jan 2017 23:49:31
I would say that Bruce is already working on a lone deal and if Ross McCormack leaves he would purchase Rhodes in addition to his lone deal, I don't think Rhodes could possibly be as bad as McCormick as been in fact Doug Ellis would have done a better job up front and he would of at least turned up.

3 signings Bruce has made so far totaling around 7 mill and all look good acquisitions hopefully the sign of things to come in this and future transfer windows. Think it shows Bruce's player and league knowledge and the board getting the deals for the right price. Feeling positive.

Seems to me that as soon as matey james signs for Barnsley then Houlahan will then be unvielled as a villa player.



25 Jan 2017 20:38:32
Hourihan



25 Jan 2017 20:53:15
Agreed. Good purchase price but they are all on £25k+ a week



25 Jan 2017 13:01:02
I think with Bree in and the other two very close Bruce is finally getting the missing pieces to the puzzle, maybe just a striker to bring in now

Think we all need to be mindful it will take a couple of games for them to gel and not be expecting miracles straight away. but Brucie will get it right

Definatly not to late to put a good run of form together and smash into a playoff place!



25 Jan 2017 15:22:20
Sky saying we payed 1.4 mill for bree. And 1.75 for birkir?
If this is true a fantastic bit of business.



25 Jan 2017 18:26:40
the boy bjarnasson is a steal at that price lads.



25 Jan 2017 11:04:00
Donor signed for Everton!



25 Jan 2017 11:18:36
On loan until the end of the season. heading for their under 23 squad. Can't help feeling he would have had more regular game time if he had come to us. He is essentially coming out of the Wolfsburg Reserve squad.



25 Jan 2017 14:59:29
Bet his heart was in that move old villian 😊😊



25 Jan 2017 15:21:43
But king villa told us it would be done by last sunday?



26 Jan 2017 14:48:54
no kingvilla told you it would be done by Tuesday which was the day he went to everton. everton had not come in when kingvilla told you this. sorry lads but hey ho next target in talks



25 Jan 2017 10:43:33
I've got a feeling that when we go to the play off final, there's going to be a lot of us dressed as Vikings.

Speak for yourself Allyp1972, i'm going as Bjork!

We need a centre half who can read the game, is good in the air and can organise what we have as a defence at the moment. i'm guessing most of the best ones are under contract and their clubs wouldn't want to sell them anyways, so why not utilise a player who can't get up and down the pitch like he used to for all of the game.

With sound positional sense, a good header of the ball and puts himself about, why not convert Jedinak to do the job? Bruce could pass on his knowledge of skullduggery and the dark arts, so he plays as a defensive midfielder as normal, but when we need to throw on an attacking midfielder or a striker, elphick or whoever could be sacrificed and the 'Jedi' could step back into the role.

A bit of a mad idea maybe, but people said the same thing about when dion dublin stepped back into defence., just putting it out there.



25 Jan 2017 12:41:28
It's a good idea, I suggested it in a back 3 a while back, can see us going a 4-1-3-2-1, Jedinak in front of the 4, our complete new midfield as the 3, take your pick of the 2 behind Kodjia as the 1, No10's or wingers, whatever happened to 4-4-2 lol?

4-1-3-2-1?

Rush goalie?



25 Jan 2017 14:36:26
My bad, 1-1, rush goalie if it's like who Jason Statham played in the Mean Machine with Vinny Jones in 🤕

I don't have Jedinak in the side with the midfield players we've bought
