I'm looking for some some options for my Villa Team.
I have 7 games to go till the end of the second season. Currently first and have a fairly easy run it.
First season was a bit of a disappointment but sold almost the entire squad so not exactly a stable environment. Ended up finishing 7th.
I have signed some great players Dzenko, Love,. Rossi, Hamisk, Defour, Hangleland, Di Maria, Otamedi. Most signings have been made paying over a 5 year term. So I'm streching the finances to the max.
I am missing a solid defensive midfielder who can compete at a European level. Petrov or Reo-coker just won't do it I don't think. I have tried to sign Veloso but can't get him to leave despire a massive wage offer. Maybe I could get him in the summer after I win the title (hopefully) and am in Europe.
Who should I consider instead? I want a solid player who is 25-27. Good mental stats. Can play deep-lying playmaker or more pure defensive midfielder/anchor/ball-winner. Someone who will be a presense in midfield.
Any ideas?
Cheers
