I get the squad needs work elsewhere, but turning down the opportunity to bring in Tammy would be nuts.I think a few of our supporters are headed down the road travelled in 2006, when Thierry Henry wasn't what we wanted because IMG were going to get us Ronaldo.

Where is the idea coming from that Abraham would be any use on the wing?

Barkley was to take a significant reduction in his wages and attend intensive training on pressing, tackling and interceptions with the odd attitude tutorial thrown in. This isn't going to happen, so after the next 4 games he's eligible for wish him the best and say thanks, but no thanks.Why would you take the loan fee for this season into consideration? That money is gone whether we sign him or not. If we did sign him at £10-12m (which there's no chance of) then it would work out at £10-£12m, which is either worth it or isn't depending on your point of view.He's obviously been poor for a large part of this season. Fortunately the best people to decide if there's sufficient mitigation for that are the people at Villa who will make the decision on whether we go for him or not. I'm sure they'll take your suggested tutorials on board though. Abbeyfealeavfc makes a perfectly well structured and sensible suggestion of a possible transfer option that Villa may consider. Any other type of deal should be fended off with a barge pole.

I would rather - and I genuinely mean this - have Hourihane back. At least he knows how to take a set piece. Other than that, I can't see any difference between them.
