Summer transfer madness thread

If we are playing 1 up though, Hogan is actually decent in that role, and Kent/ Green/ Elmo from wide with a 10 behind him could see him really shine. Just a winger for me.

I didn't see anything from Hogan last season for us when he was up front alone, he just looked isolated, frustrated and lacking service.

Hopefully the fact we've bolstered the supply line (Elmo, Onomah and even Whelan from deeper) will mean he gets the service to be effective.

Yeah, same for me. He could barely even hold the ball up in the games I saw. Not even convinced he'll start tomorrow.

Hogan is a conundrum. Lone striker for Brentford but looks lost playing that role for us

Playing three nippy types behind him and cutting out the log balls would bring us closer to that Brentford style

I'm still not convinced about his all round game though

Blimey he's a bit good - passes better than anyone we've got as well! Get him NOW!

He played 44 times for Barnsley last year. Did anybody else notice him?

[Matt Collins]

Kent looks good I agree

Three assists last season so let's not get carried away tho

[eamonn]

Well, he was no Bree or Hourihane. Wonder what happened to them.

You don't remember his goal in the Barnsley - Leeds classic the week before we signed Hourihane? Absolute class goal.

I think that was more down to the complete lack of service to him last season than himself thankfully

SSN - they've literally just said "Aston Villa are one of the biggest spenders this summer".

Nothing like facts to get in the way of SSN  OR Talk shit. Both spout an incredible amount of daily lies without getting picked up for it particularly.

Kodjia twice went close for Villa, either side of Barnsley's Liverpool loanee Ryan Kent having a free-kick tipped away for a corner by home goalkeeper Johnstone.

He started in the Villa Park game. I saw a bit of him at Coventry in league one and he was a good player at that level.

I agree we could do with another wide player although would prefer a more experienced championship player although guess budget may rule that out for now.

Marseilles reported to be after Amavi. Maybe explains why he's not in the squad today.

They need to make a statement in reply to PSG signing Neymar.

That statement being "Look, we can sign players with blind barber's too"
