Wrong side of 30, wages that we'd probably be best avoiding paying. Can't see a resale value. Decent player, but this isn't a good deal for Villa if it comes off.

I'd rather we gave Delfounso a run in the team that spend big money on BZ.

I think BZ would be bought in as a target man to offer us something different upfront as, lets face it, heskey aint really good enough for that role!  As for the fonz, he cant be a target man as he is a different type of player.  I personally do not think Fonz is good enough anyway and will not get ahead of Gabby or Bent

I would like to see Fonz get a run of games to prove himself once and for all (or not) because he has the talent. No doubt in my mind.
I would rather see him come on than Heskey because he's a greater goal threat. Likewise Weimann.

I like Fonz to get a run out but it just seems it aint going to happen.

I'd prefer to see Wiemann ahead of the Fonz.

With the financial constraints in place at the club it will only make sense if the fee and wages were very reasonable.

Heskey should get moved on; Fonz may well get moved on - and we'll miss neither in many respects.
I'd like to see Weimann get the shout as third-choice and go with Gabby and Bent for this season; take stock in the Summer.

I think the Fonz needs to be loaned to a Premiership club so he can play at this level week in week out but I cant see any team that would take him.  Loaning him to the championship at this stage is pointless as he has been there before.  Look at what it did for Cleverly & Wellbeck.  Both had excellent loan spells.

I personally dont think he is good enough for the Premiership so hard to see who would take him.

Agree with this, Fonz is making a career of doing nothing at the moment.

It's probably paper bs,wouldn't want him as he'd push the youngsters down the pecking order. He's a rich man's Harewood,he's found his level at Fulham.

We are all forgetting, that we are not a top club 6 anymore, we are competing with the whole bottom half of the table.

An ok player, but has long spells where he either can't hit a cows arse with a banjo or is injured. He's 31 in a month, on a reported 50K a week and has 2.5 years left on his contract so would probably cost a reasonable fee as well. As such it's a resounding no for me.

That's the thing - take away the evaluation of him as a player for a minute and it just screams 'Heskey' to me in terms of age and cost.  Can't see Randy getting burned that way for a 2nd time.
