Even if he was guaranteed to be fit, he'd still be ineffective for us because he'd spend all his time watching the ball flying over his head in the vague direction of the centre forward.

Not if we get him to sign then sack Steve Bruce while the ink is still drying. 😊

Well actually he'll be the one playing those balls as he would be deployed to pick up the ball off centre halves and if ball was going over his head he would go hunting to get the ball dropping back to take the ball.


That's the good thing about this jack too the ball is his friend  . He wants the ball and likes to be on the ball. Smart by Bruce but risky.

Wilshire is some footballer and would no doubt add in creative and class pass sense

But! also wondering not only opposition fans but our very own will be hating on him along with Lansbury if he didn't perform Wilshire would be a scapegoat in making.


 Barry would have done a similar Job with our carrying ball forward but able to accurately play balls forward .
Let's just get this Wilshires over the line

Bakar Sakho palace would add to team. Dynamic at this level powerful left foot and by accounts powerful attacking player. Would add presence to the  attack .

Good shout Skillzy.  Just the type of player we need.

Tell them to pay for him or fuck off. We shouldn't be loaning players to rivals. We don't need our own version of Mick Ferguson.

If Sunderland and Leeds both want him we should at least get a decent loan fee and a big chunk of his wages paid.

The problem I have with Sako is he's only played 27 times in 2 years now and we have a notoriously bad record for signing players who haven't had game time and lost their appetite. At Premier League prices he's probably valued at something stupid now too.

He's in the last year of his contract as well. Sako, Kodjia, Onomah and Hogan sounds tasty.

Gareth Barry is having a medical with the Bitters.
That's really sad.


Yep.

I think we may he overreacting somewhat. Loads of Villa players end up at Small Heath or Smethwick when they are in decline.

True, but this is Gareth Barry going to Albion who are in a league above us.
