January Transfer Window

That doesn't automatically follow.

A skilled, objective writer who wasn't actually a Villa fan would help, rather than hinder us.

But this guy, I don’t get it.

Mebbe he fires out 20 stories a day and the SEO headlines are textbook.

Or maybe he's shit hot knocking up videos with Kinemaster or whatever.

But actual writing, actual insight = niet.

Sky reporting that we've agreed a deal to take Grabban on loan for the rest of the season...

[dave.woodhall]

He's just a bloke doing a job.

Poorly

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

Not at all. The main qualification would be to be good at the job; some of the best we've had have supported other clubs.

What bugs me is every time I search Aston Villa for news etc I have his ridiculous gormless fucking mug staring back at me, it's pretty much unavoidable. I'd liken it to stepping in a fucking dog turd every time you step out your front door. His piss poor regurgitation of old news and efforts to create something out of no news just adds to it further.

Agree totally. Evans and Baggie Bill are both awful reporters though. Kendrick at least writes well and even though he is Villa does tend to be mildly balanced. That Evans is still in the job amazes me.

Leon Hickman was the best. Even though I always thought Leon was an odd name for a man of his years.

[footyskillz]

What's the good Dr saying. The good man Percy is reliable for Midlands news and he's confirmed. Grabban very good addition. Scores goals helped reading last season to Wembley. Brilliant move. Oh and won a few money on it.

Anyone else bet on this?

[footyskillz]

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!

No history of f 'ing about. As he was fine with both Sunderland and Reading last season. I think as a proven striker at this level and for what it's worth as decent as can be.

[dave.woodhall]

The best I can remember them employing supported Wolves, Coventry and the Stripeys.

[olaftab]

Being suggested that Cardiff are no longer in the running for a Grabban. We’re now favourites

Good. Even if he doesn’t contribute much to us directly will do so indirectly  by not going to Cardiff.

[cdbearsfan]

Sky saying it's been agreed. Welcome, Lewis.

[Villa Lew]

I'm pretty certain he'll be the first Villa player to have the same first names, Lewis James, as me. Yes I know nobody cares a toss, but it means a lot to me. C'mon Villa Lew.

[cheltenhamlion]

We might well get a striker tomorrow.

Don't be like that CL! What have you heard?!

Apologies. I got side tracked with work stuff. Here is a scoop for you, Lewis Grabban.

Sky reporting Man City walked away from the Mahrez deal after Leicester reportedly demanded £95m! FFP doesn't really apply in the PL does it?

Sky reporting Man City walked away from the Mahrez deal after Leicester reportedly demanded £95m! FFP doesn't really apply in the PL does it?

They'll be back with an improved offer. £125m and Fabian Delph.
