The why aren't we signing a new striker thread....

Jordan Rhodes may be worth a punt, scored again today. Gives him a chance of premier league football for a few months and if we do go down he is great at championship level. Would cost £10m approx though I imagine.

You are right CL. The lack of backing of Garde this window is disgraceful.

And no I do not beleive that all the useful strikers in the world somehow find bottom placed Aston Villa more toxic than other bottom placed teams who managed to sign players in January.

This one of firmly Fox & Lerners fault. They have given up already and have decided to spend even less than normal rather than taking actual action to help us stay up.

I give them credit for finally getting a decent manager in, but they are washing all that away by not backing him at all.

N'Doye.

Five goals in fifteen for a relegated side, international team-mate of Gueye. 6 ft 1, quick, strong.

Ideal for us I'd have thought.

How do you know these facts?

[Toronto Villa]

how is it a disgrace? I'm sure our ability hasn't been helped by the the fact that when Garde arrived it was a 5 point gap that has grown to double digits. Do you think we'd have nobody in if the gap was still only 5 points?

Who?  I haven't heard of him.  Is he African?

I'd actually take a punt on Dwight Gayle.

Maybe in fairness more looking towards next season but he has scored some league goals for Palace, can play the 6 yard box and could well thrive in a team who starts him regularly and builds the attacking play.

He might not be good enough for our present situation but given his record at Peterbrough he certainly will be next season.

I could mention plenty of other players abroad...Diego Rolan, Adrian Ramos, Immobile etc who aren't playing for their respective teams but would just be accused of playing FM even though I've not played that game in my life.

In the interest of avoiding another twenty answer back and forth lets agree that some fans beleive the club is desperate to spend big but players wont come, some fans (me) beleive the board have given up.

Maybe it is Doctor Who and he will use his Tardis to change time and have us start the season with Garde in charge and none of this agony will have ever happened.

Immobile has moved to Torino.
