Back to Gregg Evans.  Given his gravitas I would imagine when he is snooping round the outside of the training ground looking for a scoop, a man with a high viz on comes up and says 'Sorry son, no autographs today.'

They probably call in pest busters as well to deal with the rat faced little fuck.

As for Grabban, he's got a good scoring record this season, if it's down to him I'd sooner have him on board than not.

I really don't want Grabban, I've seen too many things questioning his attitude.

He still remains pretty untested in first team football Paul, though I have liked what I have seen in his limited appearances for us.  He may come in to the side over the next few months and catch fire or he may come in and struggle, we don't know.  We haven't got much margin for error in the next few months, so it would be a big ask to throw him in there and expect him to deliver immediately. 

He does but if you can't have him around the squad for 20-30 minute appearances in the championship then you're not going to be able to include him if we're promoted and trying to establish ourselves so he'll be up to 5 years from his debut and still not having been given a real chance to show if he is good enough.  He's done well enough every time we've seen him to deserve an opportunity and signing someone like Grabban on loan is just denying him that.

Twelve in nineteen for Sunderland is pretty good, considering how shite they are. Get him in, then turn our phones off, job done.

Scored against the villa too

Which has always been the extent of our scouting process in the past.  I'd take him on  loan - if he fucks about, we send him back in the post.  If he wants to contribute then he's more than welcome!

Yeah, loan signing seems eminently sensible. We will have Kodjia back next season, and will have a better idea of how good Davies is going to be and whether Hogan is capable of maintaining his improved form. We can have another look in the Summer if need be.

Agree and although he isn't exactly a high profile signing, he would be fine for what we need until the end of the season.

True. Lets get Clayton Donaldson in or Andy Wiemann back?

I am by no means an angry person but look at that face it is just so punchable.

Surely you'd think the prerequisite of the job would be to be an actual Villa fan?
