Is Kevin Kyle still a footballer?

Was he ever?

I thought his early goals were very much the scrambled tap in variety

But that he started to score better goals - presumably as his confidence grew

On the SSN thing - is this them actually reporting something themselves, or them reporting a newspaper or some other outlet reporting something? That's quite different

I've lost track of what universe I'm in. I don't want to be in the one where people think Villa paying £20 million for Abel Hernandez isn't batshit mental, on the other hand I don't want to be stuck with this tattoo.

My gut feeling says I'd rather have Assombalonga than Hernandez.

The Nottingham Forest forums are reporting we've put in a second bid for him.

Assombalonga has more potential I think, he is a really, really good striker from the times i have seen him. Imagine Tony shelled out for both.

Could we end up with both Hernandez and Assombalonga?

I'm watching SSN now. They're trailing hull / kodjia negotiations

Nowt about Hernandez on at the minute. If they thought we'd bid £20m I'm sure it would be getting some coverage

I know next to fuck all about all the strikers we are linked with so I don't really have a preference

only that 20 mill is a lot of money and needs to be spent wisely or not at all
If that's the market we are in we might as well have put another 10 mill on it and tried to get the big man back, at least we know what he can do

Great, now I'll have Devo in my head for the rest of the evening.

Without Lambert's brilliant coaching no one will ever get the best out of him.
