Couldn't finish his dinner based on most of that highlights reel.

He'll fit right in.

That’s my take away! Can’t recall another YouTube reel where about 10% of the chances are converted!

Please stay fit and score a few early goals.

 Not sure where to post this, but as we've signed an African ill try here. One for the older heads, but I read on twitter today that in the late 60s under Tommy Doc, we signed two Zambians who only played a few times between them. I'd never heard of this before, any one have any recollections ?

I can't believe I've never heard of this before. Read that after Tommy Doc got fired, their Villa careers were pretty much done.

Saw them both on the pitch, but never saw them play!

another gamble - bit of a sure-thing would have been ideal. But, hey-ho.

They played in the 69/70 season

Mwila played 1 game, Blackpool (H) 0-0
Kapengwe played 3, Carlisle (H) 1-0, the Blackpool game, and Millwall (A) lost 2-0.

Is that Lew Chatterley in the background?

Maybe, but even signing that AC Milan bloke for £30m would have been a gamble. He might have struggled.

This other striker we are getting really does need to have Prem experience, that’s for sure.

He seems to play on the shoulder and occupy defenders with mobility rather than brute strength.

If he can score us 5 goals, he will have done well.
Yep, 5 would be very welcome.  8 would be instant hero status.

Jackie Sewell, part of our last FA Cup-winning team, also went on to play ten games for Zambia (scoring seven goals). He had previously won six England caps (three goals).
