For Left Back I reckon Jay Dasilva from Chelsea would be worth a look.  He was at Charlton last year and apparently played very well, he's very highly thought of with England and he has a reputation for being quick and strong and having a great touch.  He's supposed to be available on loan, with Derby already linked earlier in the summer.

Silky skillz that chap ! Would like a few talented youngsters on loan .

Heard Kasey palmer is off to Blackburn.  However I think players in striker and left back defnce  and wing could be most needed he's not one of those but a good player

Tammy Abraham would be good as striker

Fraser Forster available at Southampton. Good gk cover.

I'd have him in as number 1 ! SG !

However I guess taken the 6'5 portugeezer as option to be number 1 .

That would be good stuff and hold out hope for snoddy too . Despite his pre season form he won't dislodge Yarmelenko

I think that both of them, whilst good , are too old for what we should be looking for.

Think we need to move on to be honest.  If we have any money available for a permanent signing, I would invest it in a centre-half to partner Chester now it looks like he is staying.  I would look to fill the other gaps with loans where possible.

Maybe you're right. Just tried and tested.

I take Jason puncheon on loan despite being 32 . Glenn murray . Huth .crouch . Even Jon walters

Savvy moves would be for cathcart at Watford central defender similar to chester
Great pro.

Charlie Taylor Burnley. Left back

Reece Oxford West Ham ,

Calum Chambers .arsenal

Strikers
Ayite fulham , 
Hugil west ham ,
Wells Burnley,
Wickham palace ,
kachunga Huddersfield

But no  Frasier Campbell, David Nugent,  Dean Marney . Jon Flanagan types

Personally would like some Maguire , clucas , Robertson gems that Bruce made claims he pulled out the bag and signed

Scour the Scots league and leagues 1 and 2 .

Coventry city have some bright dynamic players dare I say .

Good work as usual Skillzy.  Murray on loan for the season would be a decent shout, as would Hugill or Wells, but I wouldn't want us buying any of them permanently.  Not sure about the rest of them on your list though.

I am a big fan of Forster. He lost his place at Southampton due to a bad injury and his deputy stepping up and doing very well. When fit I think he is one of the best three English keepers. He did well under Lambert at Norwich when they won back to back promotions and I saw him play well in Europe for Celtic.

I have already posted this on the Grealish thread but in the last half an hour football agent Phil Smith, when asked about a possible move to Spurs for our Jack has said that both Grealish and Chester will categorically  not be leaving Villa in this transfer window.

He was talking to Hawksbee and Jacobs on Talksport so the interview will be available on their 'listen again' option online or on their website in some other way I would imagine.

Usually money turns no into yes, in this case I hope it's the opposite.

Although Terry is old, we saw what he did last season. Age did not effect the reading of the game. If we can get him for lower wages we should definitely get him. He changed the whole attitude of the club and was a leader on and off it. One more season to help us get promoted would be fantastic.

If Bruce wants to play 3-5-2 then another centre half is a must. No to Terry

I have a particular view that old pros and loanees are not a progressive approach. We have plenty of experience in the squad and I’d like to see some signings for now and the future (i.e. young or early-mid career); and some ‘diamonds in the rough’ signings from the lower leagues or from abroad. Unfortunately, these latter require a scouting system ....
