He's 35 tomorrow and playing in a pub league. That would be insane.

Yeah, it's all getting a bit silly now.

Can you imagine the nonsense that would be posted if we were 4th from bottom?

As a squad member, I'd definitely add him. Cheap wages, pay as you play. Bet he'd do it.

Another body in.

It's not a bad idea guys.

Name another 35 year old forward who peaked a decade ago who'd be another body in. One we have no particular memories of.

I really don't see how anyone would think that a 35 year old not wanted by his MLS club would be a good addition.

Look if we don't get in quickly, Birmingham City will buy him and if that happens I will not I repeat will not go to Villa Park ever again, so the club now needs to grow some balls

Or at the very least, incorporate them in our crest.

There can’t be many and anyway, if we’re going down that route a Bid for Raúl Jiménez or Danny Wellbeck would be more preferable to Benteke.

I've still not quite given up on him being the new Drogba. Given enough time and opportunity.

Everyone is missing the obvious, the answer of course is to bring Special K back himself, Keinan Davies, and honestly bring his mate Zaniolo back as well over Sancho, Elliot or Guessand
