I've seen so little of Traore other than he can run fast that him leaving wouldn't bother me one iota. And the fact he wants out, and clearly thinks the EFL is below him (despite only ever featuring regularly for Barca B in a side that got relegated to the third tier lets not forget) tells me he's either got delusions of grandeur about his own ability or his agent has his ear and thinks he can get him a move away.

However, there are only two days to go before the transfer window shuts and we've heard absolutely zero about any bids for him. He could end up looking like a right bellend if he's still here come Thursday especially now the manager knows he's not one to have in the trenches with him. He 'll have a lot of grovelling and U23 games to prove himself to the manager and his team mates if he wants to get back in the first team squad that's for sure.

Silly boy.

This Gives me hope that it may a finally happen after all....
Well SSN just said we've bid £20m which would be a record for a Championship club.

Well that's apparently what Hull want, and Hernandez wants to join? That's got to be promising surely.

You would think?

Is he a £20m man though? Serious question, I have no idea. A bit like the last five managers we've had over the last so many years I suppose.

Definitely not but if 34 million for he and McCormack gets us 40 goals it makes our chances of going up a hell of a lot better. I can flippantly say "well it's not my money" but we said that when Randy was spunking cash left, right and centre. I just hope we don't make the same mistakes again. We can't do this again the next 3 summers.
For this outlay though we've got to be getting in the playoffs bare minimum. As it is, ourselves and Newcastle are the big spenders but I don't think either of us will finish top. Too much damage to eradicate from last season. A more unified side will perhaps win and there'll be about 7-8 sides all much of a muchness fighting for 2nd-6th.

Typical parallel world Villa fans.

It's just depressing - Legion banging on about his second lottery win and capitalist pigdog Percy talking about his share options again.

At least Chris Jameson's latest Kaiser Chiefs tattoo has cheered us all up.

Villakick's in depth and informed scouting which ultimately led to him being recruited as Villa's chief scout also gave us all hope that us mere mortals could get a job in football. We all look forward to signing Jason Scotland before the window closes.

Only just seen this as I've been to see the Chili Peppers at Leeds Festival. They were as awesome as ever.

Sounds to me like Sky Sports are making it up as they go along. Again.

I just watched all of Hernandez's goals from the last campaign:

All the them came within 12 yards of the goal, with a majority inside the 6.

About half were tap ins from rebounds and goal mouth commotion.

He's not usually in the build up, but often ends up with the ball. Right place, right time.

One thing I'm thinking right now is that he hasn't played in front of a proper Premier League environment. Home to Leicester and United, and away at Swansea. If he had played away games at Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs etc.. I don't think he'd be willing to drop down a level. Either way, get him in. It's not my money and we need a poacher.

You sure it wasn't Gestede's highlights reel from 14/15 you were watching? It sounds a lot like it.

This guy actually scores with his feet.
