Baggies supporting mate reckons that Evans will be a great signing for them and apparently even poor Man Utd players are better than most players at other teams. Nope...I couldn't work that one out either!


Speaking of which, where's Danny Welbeck these days? Injured or just not in the Arsenal squad. If the latter, I'd try and take him on loan.

He's injured. Even if he's healthy, it's difficult currently to see how he gets in their side all that often...but then again, that lot is astoundingly prone to injuries.

We're not signing welbeck on loan or otherwise

I am desperate for a striker tho, even a stop gap loan

I can't see anything but a struggle with our current crop

We need Charlie Austin. It's so blatantly obvious.

Not saying he wouldn't help but don't you find it odd that if what Austin offers is so blatantly obvious why has nobody signed him yet?

I'm sure Austin will go

I don't think we've got the £15m though

I just really really hope we're going all out for a centre forward, even on loan

I can't get over how donkey-ish Gestede looked today. I was pretty shocked

There must be something clubs know about him otherwise he'd have signed for someone by now.
Perhaps he's holding out for massive wages or something similar not to have been snapped up by already.

Still think a striker will come in, Austin or ANother

Perhaps, as has been suggested, his knee is knackered and nobody wants to fork out £15m on a player they can't insure.

The next couple of days will be very interesting. The Villa staff and board will know this is it until January. Lescott in is a near given, and likely N'Zogbia out. But a forward who befits the 10 shirt would be a great addition as well as a solid full back. I still think we have a few twists and turns to come in this window.

I agree, they won't sell him so what about a season long loan for Embolo ?

We must have one of , if not The lowest net spend across The PL this summer which is poor. We clearly need some quality and experience and again the board are looking to stay up on the cheap.

ah here, do you not think we have brought in quality players this summer? Amavi, Gueye.....

even with the likes of Benteke, Delph, Vlaar, Cleverely et al departing, we have a much stronger squad this year.

Unless we can get in better players than Hutton and Guzan, then Im happy enough with the squad.

All this talk about bringing in another forward, are we giving up on Ayew and Gestede already?

I'd be looking at Heaton or Marshall as goal keeping options with Yedlin from Spurs to compete for the RB position. He looked very good playing for the USA. Two incoming that would not cost a fortune.

Happy with the window in the sense we've done a lot of good stuff and Richards Sinclair Amavi Gueye all look good .
The blindingly obvious though is the lack of a guaranteed goalscorer and a RB and an upgrade on Westwood as a DCM .
I assume Lescott is done and will replace Clark .

I'd be worried if my club had spent £16mil on Evans and Chester.

They're saying the same about us and Ayew/Gestede.

Which is fair although Gestede looks like he would be ideal to bring on to create mayhem for the last half an hour until he settles.

Hutton did ok today, better than Bacuna had looked there I thought. I would gamble on Michu if I were Sherwood if it's clear Adebayor is going to West Ham.
