Window Cleaner Posted 13 June, 2013 Share Posted 13 June, 2013 Villa have signed Okore ...really good signing that... they seem to be going after some really good young talent...quite jealous of that one...£4 mill on Okore is i predict going to be a lot better than £4 mill for our Norweigan... We were told all signings were going to be done by July 1st...looking unlikely now, barring a late flurry. I just hope we are going after quality young players who want to come to the club...not big names who just string the club along we need to get going on signings soon...the boys will be back in training in 2 weeks Not really July 1st is still over 2 weeks away, nearly 3. We won't be signing many players and some of those that we will are on intenationall service. Let the Villas and Hulls go for might bes and maybes. We have targets, they won't be cheap and they won't be queuing up at St Mary's to sign, so really no big deal. Have Arsenal signed anyone or Everton or Swansea...no because their targets are hard to get as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerceSaint28 Posted 13 June, 2013 Share Posted 13 June, 2013 why won't we be signing many players??? we have no right backs...left back cover is a problem...we definitely need another centre back...we also need a winger and a striker...we need 5/6 players Lets not forget we are not the finished article by a long shot...every team...even Barcelona needs to refresh their squads at the end of the season we have carried a lot of deadwood in the squad...so i expect far more outs than in's but let not kid ourselves that we only need 2/3 players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeShmoe Posted 13 June, 2013 Share Posted 13 June, 2013 Villa getting some early business done. Will have signed 4/5 by Monday. Whether they are anything special is another question. Jores Okore is a good player - they are quietly having a very good summer. Good young players at good prices If they keep their best young players, Benteke included, they'll be much better next season Meanwhile we've signed no-one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have Arsenal signed anyone or Everton or Swansea...no because their targets are hard to get as well. Plus generally the bigger signings are not made until the end of the window or else you end up paying wages for an extra 2 months plus all of the travel expenses to get players here and there. Add to this the fact that players are on their holidays or internationals. In short, everyone needs to stop getting their knickers in a twist, trust me we will be ok.

westmidlandsaint Posted 13 June, 2013 Share Posted 13 June, 2013 I work with a lot of Villa fans and they have resigned themselves to the fact that their transfer market is the £2m -£4m bracket and I don't think we're going to be shopping there (albeit maybe 1 or 2) and although they have signed a few players early doors I wouldn't say they haven't been overwhelmed by any of their signings. In fact I laughed today when one of them (who knows saints players well as he has the desk next to mine) turned around and said Tonev = De Ridder, Helenius = Mayuka, Okore = Forren & Bacuna = Guly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazlo78 Posted 14 June, 2013 Share Posted 14 June, 2013 I live in Denmark and have watched Okore several times and to be honest... he's cack. He's just not the finished article. May never be, but he has some good attributes and a calm head. And Villa was a good choice with only Vlaar, Clarke and Baker to compete with. As for Helenius I'm a bit more worried. He really needs playing time to improve and he is currently not PL standard. He hasn't even been able to break into a weak forward line in the national side in Bendtner's absence - I mean, Cornelius, Makienok and Pedersen are chosen ahead of him! That said, he's a lethal finisher and can lead the line. I'd expect him to be back in Denmark in a few years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olallana Posted 14 June, 2013 Share Posted 14 June, 2013 What kind've player is he, Olallana? Holding midfielder? He´s a CM mainly but is often used as ACM in Valencia. A similar player to Juan Mata with a great touch and technique. Lacks a bit of pace but is really good finding space for himself. Would really help our set pieces too. Likes to drift out wide left and cut in so not impossible to play him on the left of the 3 in a 4-2-3-1 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
