I shudder when I see a Villa player whose name begins with Drink.  And a battering ram centre forward whose name begins with Slim.  Is there a wide man called Chance we can team him up with?

Could also launch an apostrophe war - according to Wiki there shouldn’t be one in Nzonzi.
We have enough trouble with Connor/ Conor Hourihane/ Horrorhan/ Hoorihan/ Harahan/ Harryhane / Harrorhan/ without getting ourselves bogged down in dodgy grammar as well as pronunciation.....

Giroud, Nzonzi, Ashley Young, Benteke (as long as we get Giroud). How hard would it be to get those in?

Maybe the club don't think they're good enough?

Could be, and maybe they couldnt cope with the other forwards here.... oh we dont have any  ::)
 Maybe I think it is short-sighted not to recall at least RHM

Vida, N'Zonzi and Slimani all look like tough buggers who would be up for the scrap. Certainly would push our average height up a little.

Reina
Vida - Mings - Hause
Guilbert - N'Zonzi - Drinkwater - Targett
El Ghazi - Slimani - Jack
I don't like the look of that team at all. Hause's distribution is terrible right now. Drinkwater is way off the pace and according to Garry Thompson on WM yesterday Reina looked like a tub of lard when he saw him play recently. I am up for Nzonzi though and i think he would give us some much needed bite but out of our choices i'd have to stick with either Nkamba or Luiz in mf.

What is the point in having them if they can't get into the 1st team with NO fit striker? Sell them or release them.

If the club thought any of those players we're either good enough or ready for it they would have recalled them asap. The fact that they haven't tells you all you need to know.

As much as I like Thompson and as much as I doubt the conditioning of a 37 year old goalie who has barely played in years, I very much doubt Garry Thompson saw Reina play away against Genoa in October and paid particular notice to his physical condition.

Given that 'Slimani' comes from 'Suleiman', which means 'man of peace' this would enable us to give 'Peace' a 'Chance'. And that is surely what we need at the Villa.

Nope. We need a fit striker. One that actually scores, preferably.
