If we offered that, they'd accept the £8m.

Hernandez is not slow and is only 25. I think if RDM has identified him and Ayew to play up top with McCormack in behind there could be some fun games coming. Add in Grealish, Green, Traore and Gestede we should have the firepower to get up.

Kodjia looks a decent backup plan, but I am sure some decent scouting could find a Kodjia, or Hernandez for that matter, for half the price in Europe.

The Hull striker has a 12 millions (euros) buy out clause.

http://readastonvilla.com/2016/08/05/aston-villa-target-release-clause-revealed/

In that case I think we have a good chance of getting him. Relegation with a rapidly imploding Hull, or winning a title with a resurgent Villa. Chance to play for a much bigger club. Would be a excellent signing.

What does Hernandez add exactly?

Unless I've missed something his last couple of seasons are identical to Gestede, 20 odd in the Championship but 5 or so in the Premier League. Even his time at Palermo gave similar results - plenty of goals in Serie B, hardly any in the higher division.

I'm all for "let's worry about the league above when we actually get there", but I'd question the wisdom of spending £10m on something that the evidence suggests we have in our squad already.

 

Can he move?

that must be an upgrade

The only problem with Kodjia is his age.

What? 26?

I hope that is just for marketing reasons.  "We don't really want to let them go". Narf Narf.

When was the last time you saw a team play with with 1 -11 on the pitch. It's virtually meaningless and people will still make a drama about it.

Just knew they'd be some kind of mental comment about numbers on shirts.

Quite...McCormack 44 Amavi 23 Jack 40 Hutton 21. So there's 4 probable starters.

I'm hoping those are the number of goals McCormack scores this season :)

The worst thing about the squad numbers is the actual physical numbers on the back of the shirts. They look awful.
