ZicoSterland2 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I agree we wont have a massive budget and picking up proven quality championship players is the way to go. Some on here dont get we wont be in for 5 and 6 million pound players. We did that and got in a financial mess which we are paying the price for now.

StudentOwl Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 4 hours ago, wilyfox said: Agreed. Bruce signed Odubajo for 3.5, and reportedly wanted Powell for 5. To sign players of that value for free aged 25 would be excellent in my opinion. ^This.^ They're not perfect, but they're amongst the best we can realistically get on frees this pre-season and are a better age than most of freebees we can probably realistically look at too. In the absence of having £10m to spend, we can't make many signings that require a fee. Can't see why anyone wouldn't be at least "alright" with these rumours if they were to come off? I think we should be cautiously optimistic IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogbad Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Prior to his injury Odubajo made 54, 57, 49 & 53 appearances in consecutive seasons & now after his rehabilitation has made 35 appearances on his first full season back after the injury. Apart from his major knee injury there is no history of constant injuries. While I understand the fitness concerns a player of his ability on a free is an absolute steal. I can't believe some of the negativity on here to his possible signing yet we give hero status to Sam Hutchinson who is plagued by injuries & has only made more than 30 appearances once in his career. If anybody on here suggested we get rid of Hutch they'd get far more negs than agreements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 It can be a 50 odd game season so we need most of the squad capable of playing closer to that amount. If half of the preferred starting 11 can’t then it’s a bit of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good enough with the ball at his feet. Simple as that. Would be an accident waiting to happen in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonbones Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Having mulled this potential transfer over, looking at the pro's/cons I have to say i'd probably be disappointed if it doesn't happen to be honest. I think it gives us options we've not had for many a year in some respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would just get pressed quickly and play would break down. It happened a lot to semedo and it's why he had to go and he had played midfield before.

fpowl Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 People are getting in a fiz over this transfer if it does or does not come off, if it’s good or not. This is the type of signing that can make you. Quality but concerning. We have no money so need some gambles in quality as apposed to signing average but consistent. ill put it this way I’d rather have a Sam hutchinson than a pelupessy everyday the pelupessys are the ones that fill in when need to Sam Hutchinson’s are the ones that win you the league id go as far as saying if dros played Sam hutchinson all season when he was fit and he stayed fit. His aggression and drive might have had us not role over like we did early on and have us in the playoffs quality over quantity we are not getting Ronaldo on a free or cheap so let’s get used to cheap signings that are either young, loans, unproven or have injury concerns but all have quality or potential that can make the difference because this is our market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) As Bruce has already said, he had nothing to spend at Villa and turned them from a joke to a promotion chasing team for the princely sum of 1.5m, yes it involved loans and free signs but if we are going down that route we have the best man for the job.
