15% of Ihenacho's domestic career goals have come against us.

He's only played against us in two of his five professional seasons (2015/16 and 2019/20)

Now I'm wondering whether it's worth us signing him just to stop him scoring against us!

Get Shane Long and Ian Rush while we are at it

I've just remembered that I was very impressed with West Hams left back on Sunday, exactly what we need. Doubt we will be shopping from  the first team of other PL clubs but we need someone similar.

Wonder what we'll do with the keeper situation. Will surely look to move out Nyland and Kalinic and Heaton will still probably be crocked for start of the season. If Jed is fit he'll probably start but he's another that seems to pick up a bad injury a season.

It's ripe to get another experienced keeper in. Looking at Lange at Copenhagen they did well with keepers, sold Robin Olsen and Joronan to Serie A. One has been loaned out by Roma and the other has been relegated so both are available and first choices for their national teams.

This Ian Aceho chap as I call him is quite lazy in closing down. Perhaps  doesn't press as much as Dean would like but is a definite type of goals scorer. He would have to be made the main striker and I rather have some one else than Nigerian Ian .

WTF!! Get a grip mate.

An attacking midfielder, winger  who despite previous failure in England , circumstances didn't suit , could be a gamble I think we all know signing Viktor depends on Fischer price  :P
He can play mobile.

Haven't seen him play in a full game but Karlan Grant of Huddersfield  has a good goal scoring record  since the beginning of 2018,46 in 99 appearances for Charlton,Crawley and Huddersfield,.4 of them in the Premier for Huddersfield and 19 in the Championship this season.I do know that he is powerful and strong and will be only 23 in September.

Jeepers, if Ake is worth £40 million, how much is Jack really worth!!!
KaroAKE sounds like a bad tune at that price!!

Kalinic has made 11 appearances in two years. Nyland has made 30 appearances in two years. Heaton is 34. Steer is at his peak at 27. We brought in a loan keeper last season. I reckon Smith might sell Kalinic and go with Heaton and Steer with Nyland very much a third choice back up if he stays.

That would be my preference tbh. I'd like to see more of Steer this season, it's clear he and Heaton both have shit luck with injuries though, they've been plagued throughout their careers so far. Is Nyland a good enough 3rd choice? In any circumstance I'd say yes but I doubt we've seen his last run of games in a Villa shirt either way.

Fischer Price was even better after the Ian Acheao wildcard.

Could never understand why Howe didn't rate Mings.
