I look forward to him supplementing Clint hill and Danny Wilson. An improvement on what they have surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they have must be really fecking pish, if that's the case. I'd rather have Ash Taylor than Senderos and he's rank. Warburton' strategy seems to be sign any old pish or past it player from England. Bizarre considering how over payed players are down there.

Also a bit bizarre considering he'd got a reputation for bringing in and developing young talent. In fairness he has done that with the recruitment of Windass, Rossiter etc. but the likes of Hill are a bit uninspiring. Of course if big Clint scores us the goal to win the league I'll be happy to be proved wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only really Wallace and Miller were what you would class as experience. We needed to add that to the squad and that's what he's done with Hill, Barton and Krancjar. Whether those particular players turn out to be the right ones is yet to be seen but there's no doubt we had to add experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average age of the players we have signed since the end of last season is just over 26. But, yeah,the defense pish. But its not Senderos pish.

If a club can bring him back to full fitness and get a bit of confidence in him once again, they'd have a good player on their hands. He'd be a good loan signing or free transfer for a mid table Scottish Premiership side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus_Young Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hill signing was a bizarre one, as would Senderos be. Up until Hill I was pleased with the signings made, and with who we moved on, although my biggest concern is that the centre of defence still hasn't been addressed. Pasta Micks assessment of Garner seems pretty consistent with what I've read. He has been prolific in England at a certain level, time will tell if that's good enough for up here. I suppose you could point to Griffiths, Miller and Rooney, who didn't exactly set things alight down there but have come up here and been excellent at times.

Fairbairn Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Warburton has apparently said that Senderos is not the #1 defensive target. The Sun are now reporting that we are "closing in" on Joleon Lescott....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa fans pleased to see him away, from their forum: "Never rated him when he was playing for England and was horrified we signed him. Awful player who stole a living last season and I'm delighted he will never stain villa park again." "So long Mr villa fan if any one will have you" Earlier in the season, atreu Villa legend Paul McGrath made some very damaging comments comments in reponse to Lescott's tweet that getting relegated was "a weight off the mind", mostly along the lines of he only went to Villa for the money. No-one was great at Villa last year but some, Richards, Agbonlahor, Lescott, seemed to be particularly disliked because of their atttiude as much as their lack of ability (e.g. Westwood) Edited August 17, 2016 by Hertsscot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazziessc Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Lescot and Senderos would be the best CB pairing in the league, regardless of age. In fact with a better goalkeeper, it would be the best defence in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
