A wide man and another striker who might pressurise Benteke and make him move a bit would be good.

Here's a thought. How about recalling Helenius back off loan? Something a bit different to what we already have. There's also some chap called Callum Robinson who he hasn't used since pointlessly calling him back from Preston.

Didn't he say he doesn't want to come back?

Can't blame him I suppose. This place won't hold good memories.

If he doesn't want to come back then his contract should be cancelled.

To be honest, I'd forgot he'd had a bad time of it over here.

Yep that recall seemed insane.

Oh God. I've just had a vision. A Carlton Cole-shaped vision.

The way we're playing at the moment it really makes no difference who most of the players are.

I see Carlton scored last week, which instantly makes him an upgrade on anything we have.

I disagree. Yes, the unimaginative, riskless tactics would ensue, but it’d certainly make a difference if Weimann was replaced by a player with a first-touch, or Gabby by a player with some guile and nous. We’re never going to be Barcelona under Lambert, but better players would certainly help us to get closer to the likes of Stoke.

Also - I'm pretty sure that we've only got 2 squad spaces left. If he is after Sinclair and a striker that would make Robert Huth a no-go.

Nope.

The last interview he gave over here was that he hoped that the season back at AaB, would get him back on track and he expected to be back in Brum next season unless we sold him.
As difficult as it had been, it hadn't put him off playing away from Denmark.
