Well if we’re getting another winger in Benrahma then we need another striker to get on the end of all the chances as cover/competition for Wes. I’d expect Hogan and one of Davis/Kodjia to be sold or loaned out this week.

Well, we are up front. That's the point.
I was talking out wide seeing the post was about a wide player.

Fair enough, I did ask can he play up front? Assume not, in which case we still need a striker.

Nah he's a wide man, right sided I think. Let's be honest, have we been let down this summer...you'll get your wish for another ( striker ) before 5pm Thursday.

Agreed. No need to be concerned. You just know we are looking for another forward and it will be a good one. Wesley is a great addition and he suits us trying to get midfielders into the game. His hold up play is exceptional. But to play that way all the time would become very predictable so we need something a bit different. I have no doubt we have someone lined up.

What a time to be a Villa fan. This summer has been mental.

I've been watching a lot of those EFL goals programmes on Sky through the summer, just to watch the Villa goals back.  I kept and eye on Benrahma.  I have to say, he's is involved in everything positive that seems to happen with Brentford goals.  He really looks a very good player and every bit as good, if not better than Anwar.

Why kind of person (other than a child) would bother wasting their time editing wikipedia pages of players we are linked with?

I wonder that most of the time about anyone who finds time to update Wikipedia in general. Especially a lot of the mindless stuff.

I’ve been looking at his overall play and he made a lot of goals for maupay. I think he could be a striker no problem - can beat a man and has a good shot on him. I’m sure if he was played further forward he’d be great. He knows where the strikers are as he passes to them enough, it would just be a case of receiving the ball 15 yards further up. That said I reckon we’re in for an impressive striker.

Batshiuyi or however you spell it would be a phenomenal signing for us IMO. With the options we have out wide, he would be brilliant in our team, watched him for Palace last season and he transformed them into a threatening attacking unit. If he is available, and we have the money, him and Benrahma would be an incredible way to finish off.

He fits our profile too in terms of age and quality, and to sell on.  Would be a very good signing.
