He’s having his purple patch. Good for him.

However unfortunately for us they’ll be no one foolish enough to spend the kind of money on him like we did the last time he had a purple patch.

he's a proven goalscorer played in the right position. At Villa he was played as a lone striker and had the ball hoofed up to him - he never stood a chance. He needs to play with another striker. There are numerous Villa players who we have signed who have been a great success at their previous club and we somehow manage to turn them into turds.

That's a bit of a myth, when we signed him he'd been playing a a lone striker for months and was playing the best football of his life. What he needs is people to create space for him, that can be another forward, or tucked in wingers or someone overlapping from midfield but it's key because he's a very good finisher but he struggles to create space for himself. That limitation is why he's no good for the premier league and why he struggled for us because we've never played that way whilst he's been 'ours'.

It never helped when the bloke who signed him decided punted long balls down the flanks was the way to go.

all well and good Skillz but he is a Villa player and it is in our interests to get the best for him and out of him. Who knows, he might still be with us next season.

Scotty-boy scores again, this time with a chip. He's going to be worth a fortune in the summer.
At this rate I may have to send the Rags a 'Thank You' card.

Our top goalscorer will be playing for blues at this rate. Typical Villa

The club that let Adama Traore leave on exchange for Albert Adomah. We never learn

What exactly don't we learn? That a player not good enough for us might do better at a lower level?

He has become a good Championship striker in form this season. He always had that potential in the Championship. Would he be scoring for fun for us in the Premier League? Probably not.

Both Traore and Hogan were garbage for us. Albert on the other hand made a very positive contribution.

Hogan said he works better in a front two.Has DS ever played him in that formation? To be honest I'd rather he was still with us than Borja Baston.

Traore was many things for us but never garbage.  If he was, he is the only Villa player in my watching games live for 75 years home and away,  who had the Villa fans singing the name of a garbage player.

Baston and Hogan might be our front 2 next season.
