All your Runors here...Barry/Kodija / Xia

[TrianonDave]

Ashley young looking for an easy 3 year contract and will go where the money is. I doubt it will be us as we have been burnt too many times but he is one player I would like to see back at VP.

I think Stoke are favourites but why not try and bring him back. We could bring back Barry Crouch and young for less than 10m = promotion
This transfer malarkey isn't rocket science.

I agree freer but not all the signing flopped. Chester Kodjia Taylor Johnstone Adomah all did pretty well. The Viking bloke in midfield will be good next season along with Lansbury and Houraine. Hogan and McCormack have yet to provide any value so far and I would be tempted to off load them both and get crouch or Gayle. Proper strikers you know what your going to get from.

Despite the club spending over £36m on strikers last season , a lavishness no other Championship team afforded our total of 35 goals was pitiful

Crouch is one dimensional- we need a much better doctrine than “plan B” of lumping high balls forward & Crouch isn't that solution- he ain't in the first flush of youth either Bongo

As for Ashley Young joining Aston Villa word on the street is Steven Spielberg has offered him a role as diving instructor in Jaws V Unsportsmanlike Tw@t !

I see no reason why he would not want to sign for us and finish his career just like Jedi but at 31, maybe he has 2 more seasons in the premiership left in the tank. IF he leaves utd then a return to Watford would be my guess, that's where it all started for him!!

We need a midfield Dynamo.....who? well I have no idea at the minute, I could think of one player I would love down VP and that's Danny Drinkwater from Lychester!! at 27 could we prize him away from a sinking ship? why not.

Let's have some ideas yourself Mr know it all. 1st on the list from freer is Craig Gardner.

Sadly we parted company with Craig Gardner at at time when we lacked combative midfielders he also offered cover at full back –his time has gone & his form in decline so lets place that idea in the trash can eh ?

Why not give Hepburn-Murphy, Andre Green, Jordan Lyden, Keinan Davis & the impressive Harry McKirdy some proper game time -rather than throwing shedloads of green backs at players other sides are off loading ?

Do you actually have a sustainable option ?

Or is your long term strategy enlist ex Villa players looking at topping up their hefty bank balances 'cause if so it ain't very progressive is it Bongo ?

[bongosdad]

I would give him a 50k pw 3.5 year deal

Talking of ex villa players I see Curtis Davies went to Derby for 0.5m. We might have missed the boat with that one unless we get someone better.
