Rogers Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 According to Nigel Spink and the local press in Brum, he's been at the Villa training ground this week. Gustede has gone to Boro, Ayew is off (apparently), and Kodija is at the African nations cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 That's that then. Unsurprisingly really with Gestede going to Boro. Let's go all out for Tammy Abraham or someone similar. It's pace as well as goals we lack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd add something different alongside a fit again Hooper or Fletcher or Forestieri. We obviously lack goals and directness this season, we're still solid and hard to beat but have lost the ability to go at teams and to kill games off it seems. Someone like Abraham upfront or Sako on the wing could make a difference and at least give us something different and unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Wasn't it said earlier in the season there is no recall clause with Abraham? Couldn't try for him even if we wanted to. Bristol have him for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think him or someone like him who can add some pace, unpredictability and goals would be ideal and would give us something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'd take Sinclair on loan from Watford in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't seen enough of him to judge him to be honest. But if he can give us some pace and goals, and get up to speed and fitness in time to make a difference, then he might be a decent option. A loan might be more likely as the players we need will only cost quite a lot especially in this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful they'd upset that, esp. since he's been knocking them in for fun down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point he hadn't even nailed a place in Chelsea's reserve side. Can remember being impressed by his maturity in a Tottenham v Chelsea youth game, which I think the North London club won 5-4. Even so, it's unbelievable how quickly he's taken to championship football. At his age, to play every game, while carrying the attack, is pretty incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the lot. Lees and Loovens are quality though, and hopefully will have a plan to keep him in check later this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
