He's small but incredibly quick. He also likes to defend, which would make a change for a Villa right back. It would also be a plus to have his kind of speed operating next to Elphick who lacks pace.

The minus side is that we would have a small back line, especially if Amavi replaces Cissokho at LB. De Laet and Iorfa are much bigger physical RB targets, but I do like Yedlin. Trippier would be a more expensive Spurs buy, but he's got the advantage of being a proven goal assister.

It looks as though Traore isn't part of our plans, so whichever RB we sign should complement the rIght winger that we now have to bring in, because they have to gel as a pair.

According to the Doctor Lescott has turned down a move to Rangers (rather than fail a medical as some outlets have said). FFS!

Shame about traore. Rember his one quick move against maybe stoke(not sure now) last season. Imagine that if he was able to do that week in week out.

So he's trying to offload those who want out then. I suppose the likes of Lescott changing his mind about Rangers isn't exactly helpful.

As for Adama, he and Lescott can go train in Cannon Hill Park as far as I'm concerned if they're not going to get off the books.

Any news on a no.9? Or who would you guys love to see?

by **Sandie** Fri Aug 19, 2016 9:24 pm

Good question. I think the tweets from the owner have added a bit more hype to it. He seems too excited for it to be a player like Bamford, Kodija or Lambert. As those guys are the ones who seem to have dominated speculation so far I have to say I'm expecting and wanting my favourite possible signing. A. Surprise.

Im Favouring Nakhi Wells or Danny Ings. Wells would be good as we lack pace in our first team at the moment.

I woke up this morning thing we should sell Ayew. Not sure why just gut feeling he wont do much for us this season.

by Ivan Kraschinsky Sun Aug 21, 2016 8:24 am

Would really like to see Bamford. I think he would do a real nice job in the first 11. Similarish to mccormack? Still think he would be a good fit.

Very quiet on here today guys.....supose not much to talk about really. Funny that blues lost at least.

by Jim Villan Sun Aug 21, 2016 1:44 pm
