If we're to play a 433, then the current frontline options are Gabby, Weimann, N'Zogbia, Cole, Kozak and Benteke.  So, in our era of financial prudence, will we take on another big wage to go into that pool?  And if a loan like Gnarby, I'd much rather we give Grealish a chance. 

The issue there is that only nzogbia is naturally suited to the wider role, Gabby and Weimann can do a job in those roles but we really could do with some else who is comfortable out wide and capable of going outside and crossing or cutting in and shooting.

Richardson could maybe do a job out wide, though someone on Radio WM was saying on the commentary on Saturday that he prefers to play in the middle.

Was this followed on WM with a '...crisis in Villa formation and personnel....' initiated discussion with question marks over why Lambert doesn't lay down the law to these Johnny Upstart signings and their preferred position.

No, WM were more worried about Wolves winning 0-1 at Rotherham.

No, I meant in WM's eyes Wolves can do no wrong, they were winning by Nil goals to One.

The Daily Mail are reporting that we have an interest in this guy;

It's a very vague link though.

I think we would struggle to get a work permit for him, only two international caps!

In
Happy with the summer dealings if we sign a winger and keep vlaar. zaha or gnabry on loan would do. the belgian winger maxime lestienne might be a bit expensive.
A deep lying playmaker is also necessary but that can wait till january.

Out
Clark (loan)-
Herd (loan)
KEA
Bennett
C Robison (loan)

I shall not believe we have signed Blanco until I see it in black and white.

Ever since we poached Brian Little & we were subjected to the away day from hell, I've always thought they were a right bunch of c**ts, but this proves it:
