Aston Villa have expressed interest in Germany centre-back Matthias Ginter, whose Borussia Monchengladbach contract expires at the end of the season. The 28-year-old has also been scouted by Juventus, Tottenham and West Ham. (Sky Sports)

Looking at this with my Villa glasses off, and assuming the player had comparable offers from certainly Juventus and Tottenham, why would he choose to come to us given the clubs positions in their respective leagues?

Offer of first team football?

Stevie G?

It's probably not Ings' fault he's had 2 managers at Villa who haven't a clue how to use him.

Both managers have tried to avoid the decision that has been pretty obvious from the start - we need to play with one striker and one of Ings or Watkins has to start and the other has to start on the bench. 

Both managers have tried on a pretty consistent basis to shoehorn both into the side and it hasn't worked.

I think I'm going back to my original point. It doesn't matter what the formation is, Ings has had really good chances and has made an absolute pigs ear of all of them.

It's our manger's fault our strikers miss their chances. In another system, suited to the players he has at his disposal, they would put all those chances away with aplomb. Tactics, innit.

It worked in the Brighton, Southampton and Leeds games. And they played well enough and created enough chances against Tottenham to have won the game. I'd liked to see it given between now and the end of the season.

Defensive midfielder, played for France before switching to CAR. Played for Monaco, Inter, Valemcia, Atletico so cant be terrible. Can also play left back. All off google so no idea if he is suited to the English league, but good CV.

Hope he's better than his cousin we got from Wigan.

I thought he looked quite good in the games against Man City, could certainly give us a bit of physicality in midfield.
