I couldn't care less about United or City. This is a Villa forum.

We should be bold and bid £15M for Berahino. Would be better money spent than Adebayor.

We certainly need another striker, top priority for me now having watched last night.

We certainly looked very lightweight up front last night, even Smalling was comfortably using his strength against our forwards which pretty much stopped any attack gaining momentum.

We should go for that Benteke chap at Liverpool.

Relying on Gestede as our only main goalscorer is a huge risk. If he gets injured, we are stuffed. We might have players to come in who are creative but they are not going to score the goals we need week in, week out against our main rivals lower down the division. Those are our crucial games that we have to get points from.

Hard to be critical after such an exciting window, but the striker situation hasn't really been resolved.  And if it is, there will be players that we have signed who will see little football.  The last thing we need is wages being spent which are not positively affecting the first team.

Berahino's pace would probably fit in well in that team but there's no way on earth they would sell him to us for £15m. They'd add on another £10m.

As a complete aside, what did Southampton actually get out of Bale? He left at 17 after 40 games for something like 7mill. It was a lot for a teenager at the time but sod all in the grand order of things.


It also seems that they were playing him out of position the whole time he was there.

A big, but quite skillful and technically sound striker would be really useful. I like the lad at Wolves but he would be a risk too. Gestede will get better in all round play but he looked way short of fitness last night.

I do think Ayew with the right people out wide will be effective though in time. I know people are not impressed, but I think there is a player in there. The way we are playing you can see why he was so keen on Adebayor. He would be ideal in the current set up if he was in form.

I wonder if Liverpool would listen to loan offers for Danny Ings.

Well now Spurs have brought a striker in, maybe there will be some movement on the Adebayor front.
