I'm hoping we bring in a RB, GK and Lennon, and at a stretch maybe an English striker.


I'm curious, if you want the striker to be English, why isn't the nationality of our new goalkeeper and right-back important?

I know we were in deep shit last season, but fuck me, I can't believe anyone really wanted Tony Fucking Pulis to take over.

He'd probably have kept us up, yes, but we'd be stuck with that miserable fucking anti-football for three years after.

What's the point if you're going to play like that? Negative and cynical, and you have to see that Sports Direct shopper baseball hatted twat sat in your dug out.

I did, God knows I did. But I was flailing like a punch drunk drunk boxer at that point, and it only lasted about three days.

Watching us today I thought had Gradel come on for us and not them we would have nicked a second and put it to bed, our wide players are too central focused. Sinclair, who I thought was a bit of an unsung hero with the sheer volume of work he did to help Amavi against their 2 down the right always looked to cut in at goal, where we needed someone to twist and take thier man down the line, while Gabby and Ayew looked to be coming into the striker position much more. I would love a couple of wingers even on loan between now and the end of the month just to give us more option in the way we set up and attack.

Good call on Sinclair. He worked really hard today. An unsung hero of sorts.

Today was the first time I thought of Sinclair as a Aston Villa player. He didn't stop working down the flank. Good to have competition is it not and

We could definitely do with more. A right sided attacker (we've only really got Bacuna, gabby, Ayew - none of whom fit the bill for me).

If a top class forward becomes available I'd do that deal too. But not one more for numbers' sake

Ayew's being written off after one game then.

Thing is watching us yesterday I could see how Lennon and Adebayor would both make us better going forward, so if we could do both I would. Right back is still a problem, and a central midfielder would be nice to allow Veretout to play further up, but this is all on one away game, so could be totally debunked come the end of the month.

Not written off but a player with such poor basic control of a football is concerning. We were warned his touch was woeful so let's hope his mercurial talents compensate.

If Grealish and/or Gil progress in the way we hope they would as no 10s, there won't be any need to try and get Veretout further forward: based on what we saw yesterday, he and Gueye have the potential to be a good midfield pairing against most sides.

Looks ike Ayew has to be the scapegoat. One always seems to be needed.   To me in the two games I have seen him play he looks a massive improvement on Andi Weimann.

It's not a very high bar you've set there Brian
