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.

He might be Beninese.

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

Er, yes, he's really smashing those defences down isn't he? Benin didn't get through did they? So he WILL be playing for Villa, unfortunately. I am hoping that we have signed someone else, rather than rely on Rudy. He's ok, but isn't as good as I want him to be.

I can't see why anyone would want gestede to be unavailable to force our hand on  selection

Well Gestede is shit, so if Kodjia isn't better than Gestede then he's got to be proper proper shit.

According to Fifa website there's world cup qualifying games on Monday 3rd October....

That can't be right surely otherwise we'll struggle to put a team out v Preston!
