I think Danny Rose could finally resolve our LB issues.

No thanks to Dawson.

What would we sign Dawson for?

To work in the car park? Or on the tills in the club shop?

Leroy Fer, Austin, Ings, Phillips. Not much else talent wise from those going down.

The Burnley RB Trippier is pretty good too

I know we were interested in him before and having seen him play for Wales over the past couple of seasons, I think James Chester from Hull is a good player.  The only problem is that he is similar to the centre halves we have already.  A caller on the 606 phone-in earlier said we needed a centre half in the Nicholl, McNaught, McGrath and Laursen mould - a physically dominant defender - and I would agree with that.

We need;

Left back that can attack and put in a quality delivery,
A commanding centre half; by that I mean somebody capable of commanding his own defence too,
A combination of Westwood and Sanchez in one,
Cleverley to sign up and then two central midfielders to help Delph and Cleverley out, doubly so if we are in Europe,
Another forward with pace and guile, as Weimann is Championship, Gabby doesn't score enough and we need a third with Kozak and Benteke.

Aston Villa's Ron Vlaar STILL hasn't been offered a new contract as summer free transfer looms

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villas-ron-vlaar-still-5710329

Club chiefs keep defender who was reluctant to re-sign under then-boss Lambert but expressed his desire to stay after Sherwood's appointment waiting

Ron Vlaar heads into Aston Villa’s final week of the season without having received a formal contract offer from the club, writes Neil Moxley in the Sunday People.

The Dutch international defender can walk away from Villa on a Bosman at the end of the campaign but there is no deal on the table.

Vlaar, who has struggled with injuries this season, could even link up with Louis van Gaal - his manager at last summer's World Cup - with Manchester United.

The 30-year-old resisted overtures to commit his future to the Villans at the start of the year when Paul Lambert was in charge.


Maybe we could sign this player on a 2 year contract ....he is a leader...and would fit in with the rest of the players..and after the Southampton result no one else will want him

There is a good reason why he's not been offered a new contract.

I think Danny Rose could finally resolve our LB issues.

He'd fit in really well. Pacey and good going forward. Spurs would probably over price him though like they do most players.

Spot on Ads, though I would also think about adding a commanding keeper as well.

And Heaton in goal has always looked useful.

Aston Villa in discussions about signing Manchester United's James Wilson

Aston Villa have allegedly asked to take Manchester United striker James Wilson on loan

According to The Sun, Aston Villa have discussed the possibility of signing Manchester United striker James Wilson on loan this summer.

Villa had been in great form heading into this weekend, but a 6-1 thumping at the hands of Southampton had worried fans again - before Hull's defeat at Tottenham confirmed that Villa were safe from relegation and would be playing in the Premier League again next season.

Now, with his first task achieved, manager Tim Sherwood will not only be looking to try and win the FA Cup final against Arsenal at the end of the month, but also begin to plan ahead of next season.

Summer signings will be needed for Villa to avoid a similar situation next term, and finding a striker to ease some of the burden on Christian Benteke has to be a priority.

Given Sherwood's ability to work with youngsters, it's little surprise to see that The Sun are reporting that Villa have been in discussions with Manchester United, asking whether it would be possible to take Wilson on loan next season.

Wilson, 19, came up through the ranks at Old Trafford but has been a fringe player under Louis van Gaal, scoring twice in just 16 appearances - with 12 of those coming from the bench.

A loan move next season would make sense as the Red Devils look to accelerate Wilson's development, and Villa could be the perfect destination considering Sherwood's work with youngsters and the fact that he would be given first-team football with few other attacking options at Sherwood's disposal.

Yes please..... but just buy him.....he will be England No 9 at the next world cup...you saw it here first

Tottenham and Aston Villa to fight it out with Bournemouth for Nantes winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou

http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2015/05/16/report-tottenham-and-aston-villa-to-fight-it-out-with-bournemout/

The wide-man has had a breakthrough season at Nantes this season.

Three Premier League teams are being linked with the signature of Nantes winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou this weekend.

It is reported by by mercato365 that the trio of Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and newly promoted AFC Bournemouth are all keen on snapping up the 20-year-old attacker for next season.

The report claims that they are willing to pay up to €2.5 million to bring the French-Cameroonian talent in to the club.

Tottenham are in need of new attacking options. Tottenham are struggling for wide-options, with the majority of their attacking options centrally based such as Erik Lamela, Christian Erkisen and Nacer Chadli.

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood always has his ear to the ground for top young talent and with Scott Sinclair coming to the end of his loan spell and Joe Cole out of contract, another attacking option would not go amiss.

Bournemouth, in the meanwhile, are simply looking for top quality additions to their side before launching their first Premier League survival bid.
Nkoudou is a former Paris Saint-Germain youngster who has played for Nantes since 2013. This season has been his breakthrough term, playing 27 times in 2014-15, scoring two goals.
