Perhaps we can get Che Adams as well? Offer them £10-12m?

We need better than Adams, unless he was just being signed as backup.

Would Benteke be a decent shout? Season long loan with option to buy?

Some people just want to see the world burn.

Spoiler for Hiden:
I'd be up for that.

Reminds me of Carlos, as a squad player he'll be OK.

Can’t help feeling if Gil had come here with Deano in charge it would have been a very different scenario

No, that particular ship has sailed.

If this swap + cash rumour for Jota is true, then my only concern would be if he is actually any good?

Avoiding relegation in the last week?

*whispers*

Yeah, I'd probably take that right now.


We stay up, West Ham go down, 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' hilariously fail to win the title again? Yeah, go on, I'm convinced, I'll have a bit of that.

I would love to see the Benteke of 2012/13 lighting up Villa Park again but I think it's too late.

I don't think he'd quite hit the same heights but I don't think he'd be a total failure either.

Because he was the best centre forward many of us had seen in a Villa shirt?

I'd forgotten about Gil, he had talent.
