Can't be worse than Sancho, surely? Will offer a bit of a threat coming off the bench if we need something later in games. Hopefully? Possibly?

Probably not, but better than nothing I guess.

Suspect he’s a sweetener to get Roma to agree Abraham deal!

Roma aren't directly anything to do with our Abraham deal.

Step down playing for them in their tumbledown West Ham style shit bowl having played for the best club in the world.

They have to agree to rescind the Besiktas deal and this seems to be the final hurdle after Villa officials negotiated with Besiktas.

You want Tammy, you have to take Leon back too...

We are all soon going to be celebrating Bailey scampering down the wing crossing to Tammy to bang a header in. Or not as the case may be.

How much better would the bench have looked on Sunday with Tammy, Bailey and Sancho all there to choose from.

Would prefer Sancho left at home to be honest.

I'm sure there was something in one of the Athletic pieces after he left that said although we were open to offers, Unai was still willing to work with him until Roma came in.

If he can have half the unlikely impact Emi had on his reurn from exile it will give us twice as much output as Sancho and Guessand put together, so fingers crossed.

The good Leon Bailey is a joy to behold. The bad Leon Bailey resembles a hologram. Can Unai work his magic with him again? Absolutely. Welcome back Leon.

I think I'm holding onto the same torch Lee.

I don't think there's long left, my hand feels hot.
