He looked a pretty decent finisher and his movement in the box was ok but his play outside the box wasn't good enough for a single striker, which is the way we will play.

I'd cut our losses and upgrade.

Have we ever ditched a striker with as many appearances in such a short period of time ?

The appearances were accrued because we didn't have any other choice.

I'm just curious, not throwing shade.

What did we pay for him?

It was reported at £8.5 million.
Could have got Callum Robinson as cheaper and he knows his way round !

Paying that much for a player who we let go four years earlier for nothing would have been ridiculous. Besides, he didn't last very long at Sheffield United.

Neither Callum nor Mbwana are good enough for where we wanna be (11th right? Wahooo).

Oh I was saying could have got Robinson instead of Samatta for around little less at 8 million and would have been more effective to the way Villa wanted to play including pressing from the front and pace up front.


I watch PNE a lot as is my closest team up here. Robinson was good for them, but would be no better than Samatta at our level. Didn't do anything at Sheff Utd.

United did it to the tune of 90m, the raging shithouses.

Seeing people talk about how we would accept 15 million for him, I don’t see any reason why anyone would pay more for him now, than what we did originally. Ok he’s slightly more acclimatised to the UK, which reduces the risk for another club taking him on, but he also hasn’t done anything of note to improve the valuation.

No real interest from WBA they want Grant from Huddersfield.

No interest from WBA as a retired fat Roman Bednar would be a better option.

Reports suggest he is joining Fernabache on loan with an obliged transfer next summer. Best for all parties, decent player but not suited to our system and will do elsewhere. Leaves us needing another striker.
