I also think there'll be a twist on transfer deadline day!

I hope not because I really don't want him. Let's go young and hungry for a striker to compete with Gestede.

Guzan

Bacuna Richards Clark Amavi

Gana Westwood

Traore Gil grealish

New St

Bench:

Bunn, Hutton, Okore, Veretout, Sinclair, Ayew, Gestede

Squad:

Steer, Baker, Richardson, Sanchez, Gardner, Cole, Agbonlahor, Kozak

On the whole it was a decent performance! We kept them very quiet. We can't play that front 3 together again, but hopefully when we get another striker and Gil, grealish, gestede, and Traore are back/up to speed, we'll be looking much better in the final third!

I'm not overly sold on 4-3-3, and would prefer to see 4-4-2 diamond or 4-2-3-1. If he does persist with this formation he needs another creative centre mid as veretout looks like he could take a while to settle.

What's happened to this then. I thought we were told we would be sold or have a new chairman before the season was due to start.

Yeah boi! Villa talk is about to go off!!

We need another striker and a right winger! Right or centre back would be a bonus.

Our new Dwight Yorke?

Sinclair would be much better in this position for me!

I don't want him anyway - would much prefer a younger version who is less volatile!

Which we can have we Praet in front of Gueye and Veretout

Gueye was a defensive midfielder until last season!

I still think we need another centre mid and this guy can play there.

Gueye Veretout

Praet

Shouldn't really effect jack as he will be classed as one of the forward 3.

To me, it just doesn't make any sense to have 3 target style men up top, two should be thought so either Adebayor or Kozak competing with Getesde

Do we really need 6 strikers?

Adebayor

Getesde

Ayew

Agbonlahor

Kozak

Robinson

First of our summer signings that's I've been disappointed with. I understand the need for depth and filling a squad, but I'd much rather a young british player was given a chance for a couple of years (like lowton was) and then moved on if not good enough!

Most exciting window since we bought young and Carew! Time will

tell if it's a good window!

Cambiasso

Gueye

Praet

Nyep

Ayew

Adebayor

I'd paid to watch that!!!

This guy looks the absolute business! Would be fantastic if true!

Surely he can't be the made striker, but on the right of a front three he could possibly do the business - I'm not overly excited though!

12 mill sounds steep, hope it's more like 7-9

I think the man we should have got to replace Benteke has just signed for Newcastle. Mitrovic looks the real deal! I'd have spent the other half of the Benteke money on their other signing Wjaldrum (sp?) too.

I know we've got 2 months of the window left but this is getting frustrating already!!

How far into this 6 week exclusivity period are we now?

Wishful thinking!

I personally think this means we'll play 3 at the back a lot more with wing backs.  Makes sense when we don't have any wingers!

Unlikely to sign anybody until ownership is sorted, although I would be in for Lescott and Barry on frees - 25 man squad would look like this:-

Guzan

Given

Steer

Okore Vlaar Lescott

Donacien baker Clark

Bacuna Delph Barry Luna

Lowton Kea Westwood Bennett

Nzogbia

Grealish

Gardner

Benteke Agnonlahor

Kozak Weiman

Bent
