I'm not keen on Cantwell. He looks ok but he has being playing in a very poor side. I'd look elsewhere.

Bizarre argument. Surely looking good in a good team is a lot easier than looking good in a poor team? I'd only sign him if Grealish went, mind.

Wouldn't you stand out though if you were better than most of the players around you? Don't get me wrong, he's alright  but I think we could do better.

He does have crap hair though.

The transfer wish list on here seems to be a desire for perpetual struggle.

If we can stay up and we do spend £100m again, I hope its on 3 quality players.

The dodgy hair argument wins it for me.

Again, on the same argument then Grealish is no good...

Plus his hair is bound to annoy SHA and we need another hate figure for them to obsess over like the creepy stalkers they are.

Problem with Cantwell is that he is a petulant little twat.

And he looks like he should be in Neighbours.

I dont care if he is a bluenose or that he hates Villa, at 32 and having never had great pace to lose in the first place, If we were to stay up and Watford go down I would definitely be enquiring about the availability of Troy Deeney. People will not want to hear it but Year 1 plan would be to stay up, Years 2 and 3 have to be about cementing a place in the division whilst our younger or more inexperienced players develop. Our big game player is most likely about to leave, Deeney gets goals and rises to the occasion, his leadership and general 'bit of a shit' attitude would have definitely seen us safe this year. I reckon £5m would land him and get us a good couple of years

Deeney would cut off both feet and eat them before pulling on a Villa shirt. A definite no.

I believe he was one of those weird Bluenoses who went to Villa games as a kid.

Or said he was Villa until the filth got promoted in 2002, then swore dying allegiance to them.

He would certainly have improved us this season.

Again, don't non-Villans say that about Jack (or a diver at least, who always gives a round of fucks after falling to the floor).

I like Troy Deeney as a centre forward. There I said it. He’s a professional footballer and would put fan allegiance aside. I doubt he would get a better offer either. Maybe he’d give it the full Craig Gardener on signing.

We need to be signing better than Deeney if we want to progress, we need younger and faster.

Maybe, but I’m right and they’re wrong ;-)
