I'd like to think we've at least attempted a deal for Ings, who would be better suited for me.
I am sure he was on bench against City at weekend - if so then I doubt he will drop out being that close

What about Sturridge?  I know his wages must be huge but he clearly is not required at 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' so a part of his wages by us is a part saved by them
Both will have a few PL clubs after them.  I'd say no chance for us whatsoever.

Not sure Sturbridge is the answer for a Championship promotion fight.
Too injury prone and a bit of a twat.

Not a player for us at the moment apartfrom the fact he is free, but i see Rodwell has the offer of his contract being ripped up at bottom of the league sunderland if he can find a club. What a downward spiral that lad has had - Surely there is still a decent player in there. Could offer a pay as you play deal till the end of the season and ask him to earn a contract....

If Bruce is looking at bringing in Tuanzebe and a striker, I reckon he's still planning to go 3-5-2 for a large part of the remainder of the season. Tuanzebe and Chester either side of Terry and Ulloa (possibly) and Hogan upfront (with Davies as an option from the bench).

As others have said, both Ulloa and Tuanzebe would only come to  us with assurances of playing a certain amount of football.

Haven't we played 4-1-4-1 recently? It looks pretty good to me.

Fuck no, he's as broken and irredeemable as Richards.

Tuanzebe can play the anchor role too so Bruce may see him as a preference to Whelan. Hogan has only recently come good and Ulloa is more of a hold-up striker so it maybe to try and ensure the squad has what it needs to make a push until the end of the season.

How do fit in Barney, Henri, Josh and Mile then? Too many midfielders as it is.

Aye. He is on 70 grand a week till august 2019. The is just Sunderland trying to publicly shame him into leaving. He won't, mainly because he is no longer a footballer. He doesnt play and has no interest in playing.

Richards is on 60 grand a week on a similar timeline.

Pretty shameful of both players to steal that kind of money really.

I think we should sell a few, Lansbury, Mad Tom, one or two of the right backs, Barney and McCormack.

Might be able to bring in someone that improves the XI then.

Get yer bid in Tone! Obviously he will have to fight for his place in the Villa squad but I would take him.

I'm not sure I'd weaken the squad selling that many players to bring in one.

Ulloa not in the Leicester squad again tonight.

Ulloa hasn't been in The Leicester team for about 2 years! How depressing is it sniffing around the bargin basement of Leicester fucking City.

Tragic.  :(

Didn’t he win the Premier League with them 18 months ago and you are turning your nose up?

You have been paying attention to what’s happened at VP over the last eight years?
