If he's like Rambo that's great, if he's like Deano that's great, too.....but if he's like McCormack OMG.

I heard the manager of Brentford say last night when asked about the transfer "we placed  a valuation on the player and that figure was met".

(Translation- We placed an exorbitant valuation on him and fuck me Villa have been silly enough to pay it.) He at least had the good manners to keep a straight face.

I spoke to 3 blokes in the pub before the game and they reckoned the fee was ridiculous, he would be good for us in this division but wouldn't be good enough "when you go up".  They seemed decent blokes but I assumed they were binge drinking.

The above could well be true, but as we've definitely got at least one more season down here (and maybe a few more) i'll take it. Rhodes would've been exactly the same and he's even but up to the PL and been found out if you take them letting go so soon as proof

Hogan ... who knows what'll happen

Great interview with him on AVTV appears to have a fantastic attitude, talks about rising through the leagues and recovering from his injury after 21 months. If he plays as well as he comes across in that interview I think quite of few of us will be very happy.

Watching his YouTube videos and his goals, he is obviously a 'fox in the box' type player.
 We are going to have to make sure we have a damn sight more action in the 18 yard area, than we are used to, to get the most from him.

Yes, it looks more like a Deano than a Rambo now.
he should be able to pick up all the scuffs and mis-kicks that Kodjia and Adomah (especially) seem to miss out on.
Good Luck Mr Hogan.

Works hard from the looks of him. That will be a big thing up front for us, because we don't get in the channels and press the ball as we should that allows us to push up. He will be an interesting signing. As for what he can do if we go up, most of us on here turned our noses up at Vardy when Sherwood wanted him. He got 24 last season. If you work hard as a striker in the premier league you can score a fair few goals. Until then if he scores 1 in 2 for us in the Championship hes worth the money.

Good luck to him and we definitely need to improve the press up top, so hopefully he'll do that.

I thought new signings had to have a least 70 minutes under their belt before someone moaned about them.

Even I gave Westwood, Bennett, Lowton etc 90 minutes before I wrote them off (albeit in a friendly).

I didn't mind Lowton too much. He wasn't great but he wasn't terrible either.

He was always an upgrade on Hutton.

Yep. Those terrible players, two of which are playing for mid-table Premier League Burnley and really shit Bennett who's level on points with us at Cardiff. I wouldn't argue that Westwood isn't shit mind.
