Scott Hogan - retired

[kippaxvilla2]

Hogan will always score goals in the right circumstances.  The opposition playing without a defence on the field for example.

[Drummond]

Stoke for the season confirmed.

Hope he bags them in.

[KRS]

Any mention of an option or commitment to buy at end of loan?

[Clampy]

Hope he goes there and does well. He's never whinged about things. He's just got his head down and got on with it.

[Risso]

I'm surprised Stoke haven't taken Whelan back on a free.  Think he's still got another decent year in him at Championship level.

[Villafirst]

That leaves just Wesley, Kodjia and Davis as strikers ? A couple of injuries and we're screwed up front. This league is unforgiving. A new striker by 5.00pm tomorrow is essential!

I'm glad I don't need to worry, you do all the worrying for me.

I'd very much like to know what the club is making out of this if, as reported by some, we are still covering the majority of his wages. I don't rate Hogan but given RHM is out on loan too, and we can't depend on either Kodjia or David's injury record, seems ill-advised to me.

Would we get a loan fee on top of the bit of his wages they pay or no fee and more of his wages covered?

It's not about making anything. We have too many players over 21 and have to name a 25 man squad. If there's no chance of him getting into that then we're better off putting him on loan and hoping he shows enough to be worth something to us next summer.

[FrankyH]

I can’t remember now . But didn't Stoke try to buy Chester on the cheap last season ?  I wouldn’t be doing them any favours  if they did.

[PaulWinch again]

Best of luck Scott.

[ChicagoLion]

Awful signing.
He was previously valued at 3 and 6 then Bruce paid #12mil.

[Steve67]

Like others, I hope that there's an obligation to buy if he plays so many games.  He was just never cut out for Villa, although would have done better under Dean Smith, but we've simply moved on!  Good luck to him, I hope he scores goals, particularly against team in blue!
