Summer transfer madness thread

[tomd2103]

Left winger, target man striker and box-to-box midfielder still required. 

[ozzjim]

We disagree but Hourihane would be fine with Whelan if you put Onomah where Lansbury was.

Agree on a winger and a target man. Both needed ASAP.

[brontebilly]

On the way out if any offers come in - Richards, Amavi, Gardner, Lyden, McCormack, Elphick,

What about Adamoah, Bacuna even Hogan?

[timeoutbigbar]

I reckon we're set in midfield once we've got everyone back fit.  I also can't see him buying a striker with Kodjia back soon.  I think we could possibly do with another winger but with Adomah to come back in and Elmo signed, I doubt we'd spend the money.  I'd like to see this Ryan Kent loan happen but he still seems to be in and around their first team squad at the moment.

I'd be willing to give Hourihane a try and the fact he is left footed should provide some balance.  I would still have concerns about the lack of pace in there with those two though.  A target man is the priority I think Jim.  If we can only get one more player in this window then it should be that type of player.

It's not Jim, it's Rich.

I want Hourihane back in but he ain't no winger.

Can only go off the username mate!! 

I don't think anyone is suggesting playing Hourihane out wide are they?

Wouldn't be entirely stunned if Wednesday or similar come in for Hourihane.

Fair point.
Thought Conor on the left was being mooted.

Adomah isn't going anywhere, he's been injured and just lacks match fitness. We have few wide players in the squad so he'll be back inthe 18 before long if maybe more as a impact sub this season than regular starter.

Amavi is going Marseille isn't he, 10m fee mooted.

[aj2k77]

I would piss myself laughing if someone paid £10m for Amavi.

[Matt C]

Saw a link to Joe Lolley on the Twitter - he could play wide left couldn't he?

If we sign a striker I'm guessing it will be a loan and contingent on shifting McCormack.

Saw that a couple of times last season and don't want to see it again.

Watch Gary Madine for bolton v Leeds exactly sort of striker the villa need to hold up play and offer Ariel threat.  It was embarrassing seeing Samba put in to lead the line and Madine would be ideal at this level as a go to option if Bruce has to fall to that sort of tactic . I also hoped Walters would have been signed as he's solid and again provides physical present which lacked yester . Either would work very well with Hogan . I was frustrated after a great first half seeing the rails go and despite a rally towards maybe 70 + my minutes the performance wasn't good enough. As we all know should have been out of sight by 20 mins let alone half time and someone like Madine or even crouch needed as physically need a striker with presence . I only talk like this due to Bruce and situation the way to plays and also as a plan B as evidence as to samba coming in to fray and being put up front .
