Sessignon would be a very good signing for us i think- wouldnt read too much into it though at this stage.

Thanks JW

Happy Jim White eastie Day everybody

Fixed.

It's a big day for eastie, reckon he's got the full gimp-suit with peep-hole crotch out especially for it.

Can I also add that I think Sessignon is shite, and there's no way in the world we'll be signing him.

Happy Jim White Day everybody

Anyone who bets on what colour tie he'll be wearing should be shot.

That's the spirit, talk about overreaction - on a football forum calling for someone to be shot for placing a fun bet , dear me

Blimey Eastie the transfer deadline day stress has got to you early.
I bet Jim White secretely hates deadline day. He basically has to pretend to be excited all day.

Our style of play requires us to run about like headcases for ninety minutes. You're going to need to rotate to do that, especially if we do anything in the cups.

Look at our midfield: all of Bacuna, Tonev, Delph, Sylla, Westwood and El-Ahmadi have played already and we're only four games in.

Weimann and Agbonlahor both have to do loads of running every game and it's unrealistic to expect them to play every game. Helenius and the Czech fellow would provide better competition than Bowery (who I'd be happy to see go on loan).

Could still do with a big tall bastard of a centre-half, I reckon, but I won't be too upset if we sign extra competition up front.

you would think that its getting to late now for a monster bid for Benteke,
 but i'm a bit of a worry wort and cant help fearing the worst

I think that any move as big as Benteke would be known about already if it was going to happen today.

This signing may also suggest we'll still lack a little bit of subtlety about our game. That bit of guile we may well need in tighter games at home.
This mythical number 10 seems to be alluding us.

Villa are the Neil Kinnock of the Premier League

yes that's true,
 you would have thought there would be at least a whisper somewhere
I just cant help worrying, i'l be glad when its over,
that 7.5 million striker we are supposed to have signed makes no sense to me, but that's just me, I know i'm a bit paranoid on this one, I admit it, i'm crossing the hours of as the day goes on

[Irish villain]

He's got his own thread, has he signed?

[LeeB]

There were a few games last season where we we're struggling at home, and then in the second half we went more direct and got on top, but struggled to make clear cut chances.

The games against Southampton and Newcastle spring to mind, and the game last week against Liverpool was similar. Now, if we had a second target to bring on, a genuine threat, we may well have got positive outcomes.

Small changes like that could see us up three or four spots come the end of the season, or get us through some cup ties, and it lets you blood the big man's replacement for a season.

[RussellC]

It's all gone very quiet on that Boudebouz guy. Wonder if he could pop-up later on in the window...?

[Tuscans]

If I remember rightly the last September transfer window we signed players around the 5pm - 7pm mark.
