ASTON VILLA WILL DO A FULHAM? RELEGATION FAVOURITES?



This U-tube video blogger puts a lot of the national press to shame in that her analysis of the Villa (a team she does not support) and her view on Steve Bruce is spot-on.

If you are short of time start at one minute five seconds

Thanks London Villa, enjoyed that.

She is excellent isn't she?  How can a young vlogger like that talk so much more sense than all the usual rent-a-gobs we are used to hearing on the radio & in the press.  TalkSport should sign her up.

I think you'll see 4 more in;
Trezeguet
Then;
1 from Butland and Heaton, more likely Heaton
1 from Douglas and Marvellous, almost certainly Douglas
1 from Benrahma and Maupay, 50-50

I think 6 or so will leave as well, maybe some on loan. Possibilities with the first few most likely;
Nyland or Kalinic, Tuenzebe, Bree, Hepburn Murphy, Hogan, Lansbury, Green, Kodjia, Thor, Davis.

Just my guess.

Some potentially dodgy shenanigans involved in the Marvellous deal apparently according to an article I read this morning (can’t find the link to it now). Hope it’s just media talking bolx.

Tuanzebe wasn't ours to leave.

maybe the thought is that a front three of Benrahma Wesley and Trezeguet would be more than capable of scoring the goals we need? I don't know because I don't have that depth of knowledge, but if that is their thinking then Kodjia as back up to Wes would make sense without bringing in another out and out striker.

Kodjia is completely done imo, injury ruined him and needs shipping out

I thought he did ok in the run in last season. I wouldnt have any problem with him sticking around.

He was quite effective late on last season, and he had a good African nations tournament. I would'nt say he's done. I wouldn't really have much problem with him being back up striker from now till January at least.

I think Kodjia is fine as part of the squad, he won't start many games but if he's ok with that then I think he can add something. That being the case if we do sign another striker I'dprefer it to be someone young who also won't mind not being the first choice from the start of the season. The main reason is that, as people have mentioned, Wesley seems like someone who needs an arm around his shoulder, I'm not sure signing someone to take his place in the team (or that he sees as such) when he's played 2 halves for the club would be a good idea.

Something about making them pay a few million to take some of our players on loan as part of the deal to inflate the price so he gets a work permit. The article appeared on my Google news feed but I can’t find it again now.
