Back to the future. we want goals.

[footyskillz]

So which 2 strikers from the villa past would you like to sign to bring the goals back to the historic club!

Dublin and Carew for me !

[PeterWithesShin]

Gary Shaw and Pongo Waring.

May as well lock the thread as i've just given the correct answer.

What a ledge.
His trainin habits sounded interesting too but boy did he score goals.

The top forwards scorers in premier league after gabby are Yorke, Dublin, Angel,

Benteke 31 goals only 4 goals off vassell and 6 off Carew that is some going by beast considering the attacking teams dv and jc they were in .

Peter Withe would be one, even at training he was always ranting on at his team mates telling them what they should be doing. He wouldn't have put up with the ball barely being in the final third as in the last two games. He would I'm sure have told them to mix it up and get the ball to the front players quickly from time to time. Loved Gary Shaw, Gary or Brian Little would be number two. I could have suggested a wide player but that's not allowed at Villa Park it seems.

Stainrod & Penrice.
Lethal

[PeterWithesShin]

Stainrod would be fine if we could play Exeter every game.

I'm not too worried about us dropping 3 divisions and having the rules changed to play one team all season.

Looking at our current side, and what is horribly missing in midfield and up front, Dwight Yorke with Savo or Carew. Just imagine having an inform Benteke and inform Yorke in the same side. Heck imagine them playing in a midfield with Cowans and Platt together with McGrath and Laursen in Defence.

Oh do stop! I feel ill now...

If we're lacking one type of player from the modern era then I think it's Dwight Yorke. He's exactly the sort of front man who could link midfield with attack. He could do it all. Drift wide, drop back into midfield and also play on the last man if he had to. He'd have an absolute field day alongside Benteke.

To be honest, you slap Benteke into our 95-96 side ahead of Savo, and we'd probably be pushing Utd to the wire.

I am not so sure the issue is strikers, its the stupid system that Lambert employs where all our midfield and he has 5 of them on the pitch are either camped out in front of the back 4 or just chasing shadows.

McFly and Brown. Biff to come on and ruffle the defenders once Doc runs out of steam.

[Steve67]

Deano and Gary Shaw. Add a bit of Cowans and a touch of Morley/Young and we might start scoring again.

[rob_bridge]

Yorke and Little
