If we sign Austin then he'll get obviously get our full support but I'd rather we be in for a forward with more to his game....basically a more modern player who can drift and be interchangeable with attacking midfielders; where as I see Austin as being in the mould of an old fashioned centre forward goal poacher. Admittedly I haven't watched his highlights but thats my general opinion without doing much research so apologies to the man if I'm wrong.

How much would a player like that cost?

Daily Telegraph reporting that Adebayor may be coming to Villa on a season long loan with Villa part funding his wages.

As Mr Punch would say, 'that's the way to do it'

I can accept him at VP if that is the deal.

we are now being linked in the French media with Alassane Plea from Nice. Another Benteke lookalike

Has he issued a "Come and get me Plea"?

Are there any French players that we have no interest in whatsoever?

Adeyaor on loan would be ok, provides its supplemented by another forward.

Would love us to put in a strong bid for Dembele at Spurs. He's a bit of a bit part player there, he'd be a great attacking midfielder option for us, especially with the Euros coming up, he would need game time.

What you mean like arm wrestle them whilst putting in a bid or a bit of pushing and shoving sumo style?

encouraging news for those of us who are not so keen on Mr Adebayor. Caught Offside think there are several clubs interested, and that the player's preference is to stay in London; so maybe the porn stars are top choice. Spurs are also expecting his weekly lottery ticket to be paid in full.

Yes, the perfect solution if he has to come.
Let's hope he's not the only one though (Embolo please!!)

If Austin had just had the season he has had in italy, Spain or even Holland, people on here would be boffing their pants over the youtube show reel of him.

But because he did it for unfashionable QPR, he's an over rated one season wonder.

Personally I thought his movement and finishing was outstanding last year and would love to see him sign.



Depends what you mean by that though. I think plenty of people would be skeptical if they heard we were being linked to a striker who, while scoring 18 goals in a good league like Spain or Italy, was being described as fairly limited outside of his ability to put the ball in the net.

If he scores goals regularly I dont care what he does outside the box
