Yeah he's never been prolific (averages 1 in 4) but he would work hard for the team and I think he would score a decent amount in the Championship particularly in a good partnership up front. I don't think he's PL standard, but I doubt he'd drop down a division anyway...and for the price Southampton would want for him I'm sure we could get someone better for the money.

Long scored 20 the last time he was down in the Championship, and he got into double figures in the league last season for a team who qualified for Europe, one behind Pelle and Mane, their co-top scorers, so I'm not sure why people see him as willing to even fathom dropping all the way down to the division below.

The Westwood thing is old news
I'm sure Burnley were interested in Westwood

You expect me to actually read other peoples's posts. No time for that sort of thing.

I'm heading North and can drop both off

Really would either of them be missed at all?
Westwood I had high hopes for but a succession of managers have picked him yet he just does not deliver
Sinclair - has there ever been a more anonymous footballer

Both dreadful players. Good riddance

Just bumped into Emile Heskey at Glasgow Central station. Can confirm he remains unattached and is available. Ludicrously I asked 'why not come back to the Villa' yet throughout his career with us I gave him nothing but pelters, so fickle us Villa fans (@DOL)

Did he fall over, and is he now out for two months?

Bet he missed his train.

I see the Ravell Morrison link seems to have resurfaced. I blame Lerner for that too.

Morrison and Grealish now there's a partnership that would have a big impact,
unfortunately not on the football pitch

I reckon Westwood is perfect for the Championship.

why on earth would Shane Long drop down a division after a 12m (i think?) move and a succesful season at Southampton?  :o

Has somebody seriously suggested Shane Long would drop down a division?
