Scott Sinclair - now gone

[Toronto Villa]

He says all of the right things in the video on the OS. What I would hope he admits to himself privately is that a good percentage of his failure is down to his own actions. If he can hold himself accountable and know that he needs to mature then he will be a tremendous asset to the club. He's a very good player and was proving that every week at Swansea. If he can rediscover that form we'll have a gem.

Welcome to Villa Scott, what number shirt you been given?

Scott Sinclair will wear the No.9 shirt for Villa.

Sinclair follows in the footsteps of the likes of Dean Saunders, Savo Milosevic, Stan Collymore, Dion Dublin and Juan Pablo Angel.

No mention in that list of Villa's most iconic Number 9

Is he eligible for the Arsenal game?

[Toronto Villa]

Just me being old fashioned but I really hate the number 9 shirt given to any player other than a recognized striker and preferably a centre forward

[MalcolmP]

Is he eligible for the Arsenal game?

How can somebody who has only played 25 mins first team football this season and not much last season either be an asset to us?
No way can he be match fit at premier league level for a month or two.

Number 9 should be a striker

Number 9 should be a striker

I'd hope that it was offered to Tekkers and then Kozak pre-season but he decided to stick with their current numbers.

Gil wasn't playing much at Valencia. Seems perfectly fine to me.

they either forgot or are appealing to a slightly younger audience

[Clark W Griswold]

Ok loanees in the last 15 years that were made permanent.
Carbone - no
De Bilde - no
Bakke - no
Bardsley - no
Milner - initially no
Walker - no
Bertrand - no
Just off the top of my head, I'm sure there has been others but someone else can chime in. They either ended up being crap and a waste of time (might as well of played our own) or so good we were disappointed they didn't sign (Carbone and Walker particularly). So, with that in mind, what's the point?

Curtis Davies- yes.
