Hi guys, my son told me last night that he had heard that there is interest from a prem club that Hourihane was a target.
Any info on this?
Bruce confirmed Amavi will be gone and Baccuna is on his way.

Have not heard any news about hourihane,
The other 2 will be gone,

Why do I get the feeling Peter crouch is coming back to villa?

Actually, Bruce have been looking to sign Rhodes again, and I hope it will happen.

Hourihane would be lucky if Solihull moors were interested in him after last nights performance, found it weird Bruce brought him yet has benched him so often but after last night I can see why, his set pieces are his only positive at the moment. As for Rhodes Bruce and Tony confirmed last night that any talk of Rhodes and Snodgrass are completely false up to now as neither have been identified as targets.

Are you admiting Bruce brought wrong with hourihane then? See the thing is at barnsley he was setting up and scoring goals for fun i put it to you that Bruce is actually not getting the best out of him.

But how do you get the best out of him? You can't blame Bruce for everything it's getting embarrassing WTW, next you'll say he's responsible for global warming. Against Watford in the friendly he played him behind the striker in the number 10, he was woeful. Tried him in a midfield 3 and he does nothing, him and Lansbury don't seem to work as a 2. I think that's why we've signed Onomah, reminded me of the snake in the cup, calm on the ball, carries it well and picks his passes. Hourihanes only saving grace so far is his set pieces, although probably a couple of times last season hourihane really did look like the player we thought we was getting, but his hit and miss, hopefully just needs time to settle.

Bruce buys players like hourinane who are playing well. Sometimes it doesn't work out. Look at de bruye or salah. For what ever reason players struggle at some clubs.
