Will do mate, no worries

I think we need a new thread titled "H&V My League Career".

[eamonn]

Yeah, who amongst us cudda been a conten-da ?

[Lastfootstamper]

Definitely, absolutely, positively not me. I was punching far above my weight down in the lower echelons of Sunday mornings.

I never was, though I'd have given my right arm for it. Got through trials for Boldmere St Michael's at 16 but jacked it in after 2 months because the training was a pain to get to and was getting in the way of enjoying myself

Plenty of reports of Danjuma being 'in country' having missed Friday's La Liga match.  Guendozi would fit the Luiz role.  With a fit Carlos back in the heart of defence, only problem being that it would have to in place of Konsa, we'd be looking decent again.  Agree though a proper target man would be a game changer, it's been a long time since Carew.

Is that the same place we picked-up the player who was better at tennis, Michael Boulding? SGT#2 was some man for speculative punts. Between this and noting Oyvind Leonhardsen's name listed amongst the Spurs subs on a matchday programme. You'd think a Norwegian international from his bete noire days as England manager would be someone he would have to wanted to stay clear of...

The BBC gossip page reports from the red tops that he/his agent are in the country doing the rounds, seeing different clubs (Bournemouth, Everton etc.).

Think a lot of people would be happy to see Konsa ousted from the team.

Talk is that Danjuma is available for a loan and he's in the country to speak to clubs about joining for the rest of the season. You would imagine we would be one of those clubs.

Yeah reports suggest there is interest from us, Everton and Bournemouth.  Given the state the other two are in and that he has worked with Unai Emery before, surely we should be in the box seat if we do indeed want him.

Further links with Guendozi, Kang-in Lee today and some other more speculative ones.

Insider Dean Jones on Arnaut Danjuma

“I mean, one of the messages that I got not even two weeks ago on Danjuma, probably 10 days ago, maybe less, was that Villa were in for Danjuma and the biggest obstacle was they were finding it really hard to read from the Villarreal end whether he was gettable. This is a club that is really hard to read. And yes, they are interested in Danjuma. But they can’t tell whether he’s actually going to be gettable. And so this is why I think we’ve included this story basically is because if Danjuma is genuinely open and available to join Everton or Nottingham Forest, surely Aston Villa are in this conversation, too.”

[Dante Lavelli]

A loan with an agreed option seems ideal for us. 

[Steve67]

We really do need a striker.  Ollie Watkins has played most of the games but only has 4 goals this season.  Danny Ings seems to have come off the bench much more but has 7 goals.  Upgrade, or something different is needed.

We do, but it might be tough to get a quality one over the line in this window.  We might be better off adding a couple in other areas and then go big in the summer.
