Hot off the press:

My lads best mate was working at this big house and in walks Romaine Sawyers. Told him he was coming to Villa
Sawyers is captain at Brentford and another Brummie

Are we going to poach Brentford big-time? It's a bit shit innit. Poch will probably do it to Spurs in the summer too.

Can't see us going for Sawyers to be honest, simply because I just can't see where he would fit in to our side.  He plays like a drop off striker and we don't really play that kind of system.  Plus, I think we've got enough attacking and midfield options as it stands.

From the mouth of the man himself, so it would appear we are

If we don't go up Grealish will surely go next summer.

Get Sawyers into the club early, get him used to things and there's your number 10 replacement already.

This move wouldn't shock me as Smith rated him very highly indeed at Walsall and took him to Brentford as soon as his contract ended.

I've read a few articles saying how grateful he is to Dean Smith. He could cover for Jack.

Grealish isn't playing as a 'number 10' though, he's part of a midfield three and I can't see Sawyers playing that way.  As you say though, Dean Smith knows him very well and if he brings him in he must rate him highly.

Can’t say I have followed his progress from year dot, but was impressed with him at VP earlier this season.

We are also meant to be in for a Brentford centre half, which scares me a bit.

The Bees had many qualities under Smith. But I never looked at them and wished we defended that way.

Signing him would be the tip of the iceberg.

The amount of kickings Jack gets means he’s going to miss a few as the season goes on.

I'd like us to go back for that centre half from Scotland.

I think it would leave me feeling a bit flat.

In other words..... Romaine is coming, 'cos he says so
