Bryan would be an unbelievably good signing in my humble opinion!

He's also being linked with Wolves, Newcastle and Dirty Leeds so might he difficult.

A local (to Bristol) journalist on twitter was suggesting that they 'only' want £6m for him, but reckoned that £4m with add-ons might just do it...!

I must admit we do look a bit light on full backs, we've only got Elmo, Bree, De Laet, Taylor and Hutton to choose from. Makes sense really, a good use of our limited budget.

I guess he after someone suited to wing back for our new formation. But yes I would say we are well stocked in this department defensively

Nyland and Axel presumably?

Would be my guess too.

Almost certainly, given we don't appear to have any "paid" transfers in the bag yet.  If we do buy somebody this window then it could well be 3 medicals lined up.

Nyland is a purchase I believe he’s in the last yr of his contract?

Personally i'm not expecting any "paid" transfers unless someone is sold. I would hope given our circumstances that a manager looking to build for the future would sanction the sale of someone if it meant 2 or 3 cheaper players coming in, but would that sale even allow that with FFP? As it stands, we seem to be very much stuck with very little room to maneuver.

If we start spending more than a couple of Mil, then it’s safe to assume we have some sales agreed too

Given the only natural left back in that list is Taylor and he's fucking shit I think signing a good young left back is a great idea.

I like Hutton at left back and think Taylor is a reasonable reserve. If we get someone in then fine, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

If we are going to be promotion contenders, the two positions that MUST be addressed are centre half and centre forward.

I think Saville puns simply trivialize the horrendous damage that repugnant man did  to hundreds of innocent children . Enough, please?

If there are going to be any at least spell his name right, one ‘l’, Savile.

Changing the 'a' to an 'o' might be more apt too.

Most of that is probably coming from our share of the Traore deal, which sounds like we'll be getting about £4m for.

Yep - and a very good one at that! Can't believe that a premiership side is going to come-in for him at that price. Fingers crossed that this one happens...

It's now being reported on Twitter that both us and Boro have agreed a fee for him and that it's a straight fight. Surely he wouldn't want to move up there?!?!

#avfc have had a bid worth up to £6m for Bristol City defender Joe Bryan accepted. Could be the first major signing under Villa’s new owners
