Finances permitting, I think I’d rather have Delap and Cunha than Rashford and Asensio.

Interesting shout...but you're possibly right!

Not sure I would. Asensio has already shown plenty and Rashford is better than Cunha.

Cunha is also a liability. His behaviour is not what we've come to associate with Emery's kind of player.

Bowen would be top of my list especially if Watkins leaves.

I really like Bowen but he is not a replacement for Ollie.

I think Malen is best as a CF anyway, so we could still fit in Bowen.

28. Cost a fortune. No better than what we have.

If we blow our budget on him then I'd be worried tbh.

I’d have no problem with it. I’m starting to think Unai might know more about football than us.

Agreed, definitely not. If I were replacing I’d be looking at Delap.

I know Bowen's good, and scores goals etc, but I always think he looks like he has a loyalty card at Greggs.

Yes, and I think we have 'Bowen' type forward in the much more 'salad from Pret' Malen.

Reckon Bowen's also the type of player who just fits at a particular club like Benteke did for us.

He'd be fine elsewhere but never as good anywhere else as he is for West Ham.

No need to go anywhere if he's found the perfect fish supper where he is.

And to cap it all off, rumours that Rashford has done his hamstring and could miss the rest of the season.

Doesn't sound like he'll be playing again this season,  and tbh I'd be surprised if he pulled on a Villa shirt again. Unless we are in the CL and are prepared to match his wages at Man U. There will be a team out there who are, and would be prepared to do that
