Delfouneso & Bannan

[old man villa fan]

As PWS says, I don't think talent is what Fonz lacks. He's skillful, decent pace and good finisher.
It's just that something extra he's missing and he hasn't been able to follow through with a consistent season at Prem or Ch'ship level. Not getting a decent run of games for us (four starts in a row under Houllier I think was as good as it got) or being shunted onto the wing at Burnley and Blackpool didn't help but sadly, cos I always rated him and believed he would go further than Weimann, you have to step up to the plate at some stage and he hasn't really.

I think he just lacks the nastiness, mean streak and determination to step up to the next level

Have Blackpool got any money, maybe they'll sign him permanently?

A lot of Blackpool fans at work really liked him last season & would love to sign him this. Getting money off Karl Oyston seems to be the problem!

Fonz is a Championship player at best.

If they're both genuinely on 20k a week it's gonna be hard to shift either of them until their contracts have run down.

That batch of youngsters who were much hyped has proved a real let down I think, Weimann apart.

 Offer both , plus Clark and Herd if necc, and swap for Ince.

They should be prepared to take a pay cut to get regular first team football.

They're hardly going to offer Clark to anyone after he's just signed a contract.

[barrysleftfoot]

 Well, hes never going to be good enough imho 3bad, so might be tempting for Bpool.

It doesn't matter how tempting he might be he's just signed a new contract. Therefore Aston Villa don't share your views on Clark and he won't be offered.

I don't really know about what Leeds need, but could Fonz be used as a sweetener for Byram?

It's a bit late now, but I've always pronounced Delfouneso as Del-fun-zo, commentators often say del-fo-nay-zo, some say del-fuh-nay-zo. Which is it? If I'm going to say bye I want to say it properly.

[Marlon's Hairy Wood]

I say Del-fon-zeo

althought recently i've changed it to del-fon-zo

Let's call the whole thing off.

On another note, what's Gabby been up too? Not heard much on him this pre season so far?

Lambert mentioned he was injured.

Lambert interviewed on SSN earlier about any more signings and he said that Gabby was injured along with another six players.

EWW beat me to it.
