Albert Adomah - Released

[supertom]

Looks a good player. The last two signings should see our attack click into place a little more. I think we've now got the squad in place to not only go up, but stay up too. I just hope we can get these players gelling quickly and then cope with the African Cup next year.

Currently we'll probably only lose Ayew. Maybe Gestede, but it's a flip of a coin as to whether they qualify.

If we lose Adomah and / or Kodjia, they must have done brilliantly for us as they're probably not going to be selected as things stand.

So bring it on I say.

Hopefully.  Granted I'm thinking of worst case scenario but saying that, if ever there was a worst case nightmare come true, we experienced it last season.

Isn't Adomah a regular in the Ghana squad?

Not been called up since last year, and that was when Ghana picked a squad of fringe players.

So if he's good enough for us to get back into it, then great.

What is concerning me is if Adomah doesn't hit the kind of form that will endear him to the Villa support.

I can imagine the headline in the local rag.

Lions 'ate our Albert.

Holloway will probably make a record of it!

PS   Unless you are over 50 you probably won't get that.

I get it and well done...giving away my precocious infancy

[ozzjim]

I love a proper winger, so really pleased we have bought one. They are meant to frustrate and annoy and thrill and baffle. That is the point of a winger. A predictable winger is useless! Get him in. I really hope for Tony's sake we click into gear and get a run of form going. After the spending if we go up the bloke is going to be adored by the fans.

'A PHENOMENAL SIGNING'

Don Goodman has run his eye over a couple of the big Football League transfers.

On Albert Adomah joining Aston Villa:

This is a phenomenal signing. I have been very impressed. I was a little bit concerned about Aston Villa and the signings that they hadn’t made, but they’ve been very, very busy over the last couple of weeks and Albert Adomah typifies the profile of the signings Aston Villa – and Newcastle for that matter – have been making in this window. You need someone who has had success at this level and he’s certainly got that.

[mallo]

He's played a big part in middlesbroughs promotion with a goal against Derby in a big game and constantly creating space for strikers - think he'll be brilliant if he can click with McCormick and Kodjia. I'm on my phone and can't alter McCormack!

[Steve67]

Two footed and has an eye for goal. Quick too. Pleased with this signing.

[olaftab]

Welcome Albert. Some pace in the side at last. I wonder if having him will cheer Ayew up!

A whinger and a winger together on the pitch.

[olaftab]

One for our historians. Who was the last Albert to wear the best football shirt in the world?

[UK Redsox]

Does he get in the ghana squad regularly? Just thinking about ACN.

Doesn't look like he does

Last game was against Canadia in Oct 2015, when it appears Ghana called up a few non-regulars

Who won, Canadia or Ghanaia?

It makes sense that Canadians would could from a place called Canadia

One for our historians. Who was the last Albert to wear the best football shirt in the world?

Easy, my 8 year old is called Albert and he wore the best football shirt in the world today

[olaftab]

That's great John. Was he playing or just posing?
