The brother is older though.

Fair enough.  All sounds good to me - a nice new striker, new central midfielder and I'll feel quite chipper about this season.



Feeling the same Dave with the added extra of unmitigated excitement of seeing the newly jet washed North Stand as well. It doesn't get much better than this.

40 goals in 200 games. He's had almost as many yellow cards. Not overly thrilling.

A lot of that has been in a wide position and he's still young so last season's performances would be more telling of his maturity.

Nice. I still think we'll sign a striker, I reckon he'll be challenging Gabby for his role rather than Benteke's replacement.

[ADVILLAFAN]

I think of him more as a wide player, rather than a striker.

Ayew lonesome tonight?....

[Matt C]

He's the Weimann replacement presumably.

Our current front six would be something like:

Ayew - Kozak - Grealish
Gueye - Sanchez - Westwood

Probably still need a little more...

[Villa in Denmark]

Ayew Ayew is on Fire..

With the added bonus of being able to sing the rest of the first verse to Fibber Delph in November.

I think by September it will be;

Sinclair, Adebayor, Ayew up top, with one of Grealish or Gil in a midfield three.

[Tuscans]

He has been playing as a forward for Lorient last season, earlier on in his career he was pushed wide.

He's being brought in a forward, not a winger.

I reckon Grealish will be the one who starts off in the three as the #10 on account of him having better workrate. I

The fee could rise to €12m.
£5.5m rising to a possible £8.5m.

According to Sky Sports Transfer Centre, we have had a bid of £12m accepted

[Phil from the upper holte]

Ay Yew glad he's signing for us

I have serious reservations about going down the French route ala Newcastle. There were serious attitude problems at times . I appreciate Wenger has done well there in the past but he has the contacts .

I'll await to see these boys in claret and blue before I get over excited.
