I'm going mental here trying to think of the name of the lad we brought in on the last day of a window from Spurs. Pretty sure it was a loan. Can anyone help? It was during the long doldrum years under Lambert or McLeish.

Anyway, whoever he was, I think we should get him back. He knows the club.

Wasn't it Simon Dawkins?

Eleven years ago today we signed Jermaine Jenas on loan from Spurs. McLeish would have been manager then I think.

We signed Benteke, Hutton and Abraham on this day too.


Oh and from Villa Analytics on Twitter....

Today marks 10 years since Aston Villa last signed a player that was later sold for a profit as both Ashley Westwood and Christian Benteke joined the club.

In that time 68 players have joined, 48 of which have already left. Not one for more than we paid. £590m spent, £420m net.

Targett, Sinclair, Chukuemeka.

Checkdd on Transfermrkt: Chukwuemeka came into the youth set up  as a 12 year old, he hardly counts. Sinclair was right, it appears we made £500k, and Targett was £14m and sold for £15.75. Bacuna was £90k profit.

So yes, we've made £3m on senior players. How dare I share such spurious nonsense.

[PaulWinch again]

Gonna do anything positive Villa?!

[Mister E]

Tielemans is available .... just sayin'.

[ozzjim]

It's all OK. Dawson, Tielemans, Lucas Maura and more will sign tomorrow.

Or... They won't. And we'll be a bit fucked.

[Footy-Vill]

Tielemans is available .... just sayin'.

Who would you prefer Tielemans or Lucas Moura of Spurs.
As Moura is a considered option.
Tielemans can play 6 and 8 good in possession and passing.

Or the pacey but more of a wide player and attacking midfielder.
Gives us an option if we actually played 4-3-3

[ozzjim]

Both are very different, we would need both.

[steamer]

If we buy Moura at least he can not have his game of the season against us
If we had a plan it seems  it was a crap one
All very uninspiring

[paul_e]

Tielemans is a far better fit than Moura. We are already struggling to 'fit' Coutinho, Buendia and Bailey into the side where he plays and I suspect McGinn and Ramsey are perfectly fine as cover for those more attacking positions as well, if they're being used correctly and the tactics aren't hamstringing them.

[cdbearsfan]

Change tactics, play wingers. Works for me.

[paul_e]

Change tactics, play wingers. Works for me.

Well yes, but even then Moura isn't really a winger, we'd have bene better off carrying on with Sarr if that was an option.

[ozzjim]

Sarr made sense. Pacey, direct, exciting, could genuinely play in a different way. Moura... Not sure. Might please the next manager thigh.

[Footy-Vill]

Conor Gallagher for a Barkley-esque fee. Though more likely Ruben Loftus Cheek.

Loftus-Cheek has played every Chelsea match this season.

That doesn't scream "loan him out"

Yes my Chelsea contact says neither will be sold.
CG may be loaned but definitely not sold
It depends what business they do regards CG going out
He's adamant they are going to get a major statement signing
And especially the poor form and the other top 6 team doing big business.

[Border villan]

Sarr made sense. Pacey, direct, exciting, could genuinely play in a different way. Moura... Not sure. Might please the next manager thigh.

Right thigh or left thigh?
