They seem to give the young English players a chance, so I think he'd play his fair share. He'd do well there. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlsmad Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Unlikely.... he's only just signed for Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Would have Hourihane if it's remotely do able (which I doubt with Dr Death), he'd add a bit of height and likes to act as a bit of a midfield general. Personally i think we'll end up with Scowen and still be left lacking in height but he can put a foot in at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I notice a few teams have benefitted from a strong aggressive and quick striker to run the channels and create a few chances themselves. The only one who does this is Winnall, the others either tend to drop deeper or wait for the ball to come to them. Would be nice to have a striker who simply turns and runs at them.

I'm not in the know on villa, but depends if they want Bannan and how desperately, neither hourihane or Elphick have pulled up trees last year, so you never know, new gaffer are they in Bruce's plan for the new season, it's all ifs and buts.

True, but I think Hourihane was a key target for Bruce and they must've paid north of 7m for the pair. Not sure player plus cash deals happen these days. Last time I saw one was when Leicester wanted Andy Booth and wanted to give us someone even worse in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really mean a straight swap but if Bannan wanted to go back to Villa I could see it happening myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Banana is twice the player this guy is Decent touch but a bit of a stroller and not what we need in a two man midfield We have Abdi if we want that type of player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEdwards Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Stat website reckons Hourihane was the top defensive player in the league last season. So he could genuinely be something a lot closer to what we need IE a midfielder that can break down opposition attacks and move the play forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
