Aston Villa are linked with 2 players in january. 1 apparently worse kept secret, Sam Johnstone. and the other Carl Jenkinson on loan. what do you think people?

Sam Johnstone : Is he any better than what Villa already has (Gollini) . Sam has almost same experience as Gollini but in lower leagues. Both are almost same to be fair. then why go and get a same type of player?

Carl Jenkinson: yes, much better than hutton. Only cocern is his injuries.

Agree with indianvilla, Johnstone would only be there to push Gollini for the starting spot, it's a shame he'd Steer got injured because by all accounts he was brilliant for Huddersfield last season and he could of really challenged Gollini and brought the best out the two!
Would love to see jenkinson, proper right back who can defend first and foremost, but can also get forward and put a ball in! Give us a centre back and the defence is looking solid for the rest of the season!

Seems to be quite a few names linked with us and as we approach Xmas the list will get longer.
For me, we need 2 midfielders above anything else. One creative and one to help out Jedinak who was our best player again over the 90 minutes yesterday.
Westwood and Gardener both not good enough.
A win at Norwich and its lift off. And then the list of those wanting to join will be a mile long.

Very true Andy, don't get me wrong McCarthy would be a brilliant buy but I think prem clubs will snap him up, however there will be quality players available if we keep winning games and climbing!

I thought this was on another post talking about McCarthy, may have just sent it on the wrong post, my bad!

Its ok Chris, McCarthy would be good signing . But at this point I think that the press will throw loads of names about.
I said week's ago that IMO if we could manage to keep in touch with the playoffs then we would be able to attract top players in January. This will be difficult to achieve. We're not playing particularly well and teams will try to park the bus against us.
Luckily, we have a run of games that we should be able to pick up a few wins from. A win at Norwich would be massive result . Massive.
I'll e there biting my nails again and up for work at 6 on Wednesday. Madness at my age but I love it .

Just finished watching the highlight show, if we are getting jenkinson and Johnstone then happy days but as you said we need two quality midfielders, for the attacking one I would be more than happy with Tom ince (7mil), Daniel Johnson (5mil) or will Hughes (7mil) they are all smashing it at this level and won't need time to settle!

In all honesty I thought the same but after having a look he really is doing well in a very poor team, he would offer miles more than Gardner and Westwood! Shame Lambert ruined what was one of the most promising youth teams you'll see.

Daniel Johnson plays like a villa youth academy player, pace guile and does it in style. Now he is a player for the future, if tony wants to take us to the top i'd back johnson to be starting our first champions league game in a few years.
