Danny Ings is only 33...

And I would take him on a free until the end of the season.

It's obviously a terrible idea now, but I reckon we should have definitely chucked £10m at Palace the season we came back up instead of £20m on Wesley. He wasn't that important to them and left on a free the following season.

Some players just fit a club - and even at 30, Benteke, with Grealish, McGinn, Mings et al, with a back-in-the-Premier--League Villa Park instead of Palace's mob fully behind him - I reckon it would have just worked.

I’m still hoping we can get Asensio back in the summer.

I like him but at nearly 30 he's hardly a good long term investment.

Hahaha, now I know you're on a wind up. Danny Ings with zero goals (or assists though we don't count them) in the Championship this season... And the grand total of 2 goals in the past three seasons...

So for the last six months or so you’ve been jumping up and down ranting about Ollie and your answer is Benteke or Ings?
