King Klose 0 Posted August 11, 2016 Signing for Villa. Would be a great signing. He''d be rock solid along side Klose if he came to us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted August 11, 2016 He would but think money needs spending elsewhere. Money is being kept for the striking department as we are pretty full in the centre half department.Was superb in the euros but Pulis must believe Mcauely & Olsson are better options 😂.A bit like Pritchard I question why prem sides are not in for him.

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted August 11, 2016 For £8m I think they are welcome to him.Had a good Euros but was pretty poor for WBA - hopefully Norwich have learnt something about buying Tony Pulis''s cast-offs. (I''m not counting Pritchard as he was on loan) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted August 11, 2016 Average player, don''t think he would be an upgrade for us, hopefully we will do better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,603 Posted August 11, 2016 Disagree with most of you- think Chester is very good and would be an upgrade on either Bassong or Bennett. Also can play fullback so gives us a bit of versatility.Thought we should have gone for him last season and think he will be an upgrade for Villa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted August 11, 2016 Hopefully he goes to Boro as they are supposedly in for him as well. Not sure i''m bothered about him for £8m, I think with Klose there we have enough. A good run of games and I reckon Bennett can be just as good as Chester. Would be a shame to see Villa strengthened though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 527 Posted August 11, 2016 It''s a worry that Villa seem to be targetting their players and getting them.We, on the other hand, seem to be haggling over players and losing out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,755 Posted August 11, 2016 Who have we lost out on? Other than one over priced striker can you remind me of the others? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cornish sam 951 Posted August 11, 2016 They''re welcome to them at the prices they''re paying! There is no way Chester is worth £8m... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted August 11, 2016 I think he''s decent. Not amazing but I''d be happy to get him. Would Ryan Bennett have got in the Welsh team at the Euros if he was eligible? No, not a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari_2 0 Posted August 11, 2016 That''s around what we paid for the far superior Timm Klose. Silly money for an average player.Unless we get rid of 2 I highly doubt we''re in for any central defenders, at least until a striker is here. Perhaps something for winter if we need it?

Without Klose our backline doesn''t look nearly as stable... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clubs that play by the book are hugely disadvantaged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Greenthumb 749 Posted August 11, 2016 Herman, Afobe springs to mind straight away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 527 Posted August 11, 2016 Afobe & MC are two. Give NCFC their due they keep dealings close to their chests, but for all we know we could have lost out on several strikers (because we don''t want to pay the asking price) and it hasn''t been published.We''re now 42 days into the transfer window and we still haven''t secured a striker despite that being our top priority.AN did state we''d get a proven striker in. He also said we''ve got to pay the market price. Lets hope that still happens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, not a chance.[/quote]Yes, I think if Ryan Benent was eligible he would definitely be part of the Welsh set up, and therefore at the euros. Some Fans are blind to the ability of their own players. Ryan Bennett is a very good centre half, and one who will improve. Hopefully this year he finally gets a full season at the back and fans will soon appreciate his quality.

Duncan Edwards 2,231 Posted August 12, 2016 I admire your faith Lincoln. I hope you''re right about Bennett but I still have him some way behind Bassong as a footballer and would choose Seb whenever fit.Alex though, seems to agree with you so far this season. It will be interesting to see what happens when they''re all fit, Martin included. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
