Anyone know if he is any good?

a little bit of Eden Hazard about him. Pretty compact little player. Pops up in the right places

Interesting link, but we've already got Cole, N'Zogbia and Grealish who can play in that position.

I really meant in terms of build and quickness. It looks from the clips he plays more centrally.

Late serge.  Love it.   He can buy a house in Sutton Coldfield and call it Casablanco.
if the club are denying this transfer, I reckon it'll be a whitewash from them.

I keep seeing stuff to suggest Scott Sinclair to sign this week. Not so sure if that's a good thing or not.

The probably won't be a wide Spectrum of views regarding Sinclair.

If it's the Sinclair from Swansea then that would be great.

If it's the Swansea from Chelsea, Man City or Albion then it wouldn't be.

It'd still be the Sinclair with that bloody woman in tow.

The winger situaltion is interesting.  While we seem to lack one which stands out, this maybe not such a problem if some one like Zog comes back into form, or if Bacuna builds on a decent first season.  But we do lack someone with a good delivery.  Was sad to see Albrighton go myself :-[

Don't won't Sinclair that is for sure.

Can't you tell your mate to ask him (Sinclair) to try his best if he comes?

I'd rather we went for Holtby. He's meant to be available for £1.5m :|

It's weird that he played on saturday and Dembele didn't yet Holtby seems to be the player they're more keen to sell.
Personally I'd prefer Dembele but I doubt he'd be as cheap as £1.5m.

I'm a big fan of Holtby's, would love to see him at Villa. Very surprised if they're looking to let him go again. Horribly, I can see QPR coming in for him and paying him a stupid salary.

I reckon it would be the Swansea version, as he would be in the last chance saloon. I also think he would do well in our wide forward roles.

Anyhow, I would take both. Sinclair adds pace, Holtby quality. Sign both and we would be really well equipped for the season.
