Gestede not currently looking like he'll go. Benin 3-1 down and need a point

I think ayew and kodjia are nailed on

They're 5-1 down and other results are going/have gone against them.

Gestede will be available in January barring injury/suspension.

That's a shame, I was hoping that they would qualify!

So if understand this correctly, you would want another Villa striker unavailable for our promotion push? One who is more than capable at Championship level.

Haha, you could be right. And it's entirely possible that Grumpyville is a town/city in Benin.

He needs to if he's lifting heavy boxes.

Does Tshibola have any African blood in him with that surname?

I don't know if he's played for any England age group teams but if he plays regularly for us someone will get in touch probably.

Eligible for England or Democratic Republic of the Congo. Has played for England under-18s but could still switch.

At his age, I'd imagine he'd likely wait to see if England call but you never know.

DRC have qualified for the African Cup of Nations, and are also through to the final Group Stage of qualifying for the World Cup. If they qualify for the latter I suppose switching to play for them would become a more attractive option.

Just to clarify, who are we losing (assuming they get picked)?

Kodjia, Adomah and Ayew, anyone else?

Ayew is nailed on, Kodjia is looking ever more likely for Ivory Coast and Adomah will probably need to have the half season of his life to be called up.

Nobody else at risk.

I'm really hoping Adomah is called up
