Villa player loan watch

[dave.woodhall]

One of the most pointless loan recalls of all time?

Another example of Lambert's muddled thinking?

Wasn't it when one or more of our star strikers was out?

I just mentioned on the transfer thread, without him we'd have had no striker on the bench with injuries suspensions. So we needed a backup, especially if someone had got a knock in training.

Lambert could have stuck Burke on the bench. Mind you he is totally useless so he would have been ideal.

Fair enough. Just seemed a bit strange to recall him just as he seemed to be settling in at Preston.  It must have fallen around Gabby's suspension / injury.

I'm guessing, but I don't think Burke is overly rated. I reckon he'll be released on a free this summer.

I thought that Jack was already at Forest

[Dave]

Didn't happen after Pearce was sacked.

[Legion]

I think the deal fell through when Pearce and Faulkner left.

The Truth is back in business!

For us he'd look as useful as a scarecrow though. Or Gabby/Weimann.

[PeterWithesShin]

As Dave said last night, which of our 'chances' last night would Bent have scored?

[Tom_Mc9?]

Oh I agree - he's long gone at Villa. He needs a move.

The other two do as well though.

As Dave said last night, which of our 'chances' last night would Bent have scored?

When Benteke headed it down in the six yard box and there was no-one on the end of it?

[PeterWithesShin]

So he may have had one chance. I have a sneaky feeling Bent isn't the answer to our current problems.
