I'm not convinced about Adama but if he stays he has to play simply because he has the one thing everyone else lacks - pace

Don't get the love fest for Adama.
Quick, most definitely, and that's it.
He's a ball hogging selfish player who plays for himself.
This is more than likely the reason he's hardly selected.

Young, inexperienced, new to English football, talented but needs coaching.  I should imagine that coaching of disciplined team play in Spain comes far later in a young players development than it does in England.  Can he handle it in a foreign country, I don't know.

I'd love to see Adama playing.  His debut at Palace was enough to show that he has bags of skill as well as pace.  Admittedly he might lack awareness but you'd hope that would develop with games.

It's great to see the back of Lescott, but if it looks like we're stuck with and paying the wages of Gabby and Richards, then surely it would make sense to at least try to send them out on loan to a club like a Hull who are literally desperate for more players.

I suspect Agbonlahor and Richards would fall down laughing at that suggestion. If a player doesn't want to go on loan to a specific club the club cannot force him to go.

and its bloody cold in Hull!

No, we cannot force them out on loan but if they are not part of the managers plans we should tell them that they can stay, see out the contract but don't bother coming to the training ground and we will see you when your contract ends.  It worked out well for Adebayor's career and our two are not a patch on him.

I have seen, with my own eyes, in the flesh, every minute Adama Traore has played for us.  I have never seen him play badly.  I do not know where all the hate has come from. 

This is nail on head for me. He has his weaknesses (so do the rest of our squad), but his strengths are so far superior to anyone else's in the entire division that he simply has to play. The kind of ace in the hole that gets you promoted (with a solid base behind him, which we're verging on having). I'm looking forward to seeing him play regularly anyway, even if it's not at the Villa.

Well, Hernandez wants to come here  , according to the Daily Heil, among others, but they need a replacement striker first. Maybe they had a scout at the Villa - Noocastle U21s this afternoon , where Kozak scored a hat-trick................Godzvilla!

Abel Hernandez keen on a move to Aston Villa as Hull search for a replacement striker:


Hull striker Abel Hernandez is keen to secure a move to Aston Villa before the summer transfer window closes.

The 26-year-old Uruguay international has been targeted by Villa boss Roberto Di Matteo and was the subject of a £14million bid on Monday.

However, Hull are reluctant to allow the striker to leave before they have lined up a replacement.

SSN: Will Keane from Man Utd is having a medical at Hull so this may be the deal that releases Hernandez.

edit: apparently they are also negotiating deals for Hendrik from Derby and Kidoja from Bristol.

According to SSN;

Man Utd Striker Will Keane having a medical at Hull prior to permanent move.

Will this free up Hernandez?
