Is this a loan deal?

Says it's a loan in the Express

Can't find much on YouTube on this fella, just the odd goal. Got any clips anyone? 

Who are ya? A lowdown on Aston Villa target Lamine Kone

Says in this article that Sunderland could possibly have points deducted after Kone missed 3 games for his club only for Sunderland to pull out of the deal!

Edit: Sky are reporting the deal to Sunderland is back on! 

So far I have read : Bacuna, Lescott, Gana, Veretout, Cissokho, Ayew all been given MOTM from different posters. All the other starters have been given praise too. That says it all. Great effort! 

Edit: just seen a vote for Kozak 

Worst player in Premier league history?? I think not! 

Can someone creative please please come up with a decent chant for Ayew. Hopefully this will make him feel enough love for the Villa to convince him to stay come what may. Thanks 

Can't believe no one has posted in here yet. Awesome in the first half, solid in the second. Power header for the winner . Great performance after a tough week. Fair play 

Don't care if I get shot down for this: Lescott has been fantastic! 

Kozak!

I wouldn't bet on us if we were 100/1. 

Will you give me 100/1 then ?

I think he'd be a good striker in the Premier League too.  I think he's under-rated and under-used by Palace.  I'd definitely get him in if we could.  He'd be a superb striker for us next season.

Bristol City had a bid of 6 million accepted for him. Grabban has just rejoined Bournemouth for 7 million. He's better than him Imo. Got to be a bargain in the current market. 

Dwight Gayle available for the right price apparently. We had an offer rejected in the summer if I remember rightly. I think he would be a good striker for next season in the division below the Premier league.

How bad does Kozak have to be to not get picked ahead of probably one of the worst strikers I have seen in my 40 odd years as a Villa fan.?

I saw Ilori in the u21 european championships and he looked great at that level. A fair few were calling for him to play as "he can't be worse than the others" yet last night he proved he's not ready/good enough for this level. Garde sees them in training day in day out. We don't. Maybe he sees the same with Kozak. I agree from the outside looking in that Kozak looks the better option. But I also know Garde is far better placed to make that call than me.

Yet one stands as a spare goal post, the other has scored goals when he's played in the under 21s.  Both are probably shite, but the goal post has done nothing to keep the other out of the team.

I'm leaning towards the stubborn fool myself.

I respect your opinion

Like persisting with Gestede as the only option, even though he isn't.

Fine line between a genius who is always right and a stubborn fool...

I've already answered this thought from another poster fella. I think he's looking for a new striker and clearly doesn't rate kozak.

I really want to believe this, yet he persists with the likes of Gestede and Sinclair.

I don't think they will last in the long run either. Just don't think he rates anyone else. I think Traore was about to start replacing Sinclair but is now injured. I also think he's looking for a new striker. 

Tbf I usually skip through the Westwood thread as it's usually the same old argument time and time again. But today everyone is agreeing he was shit, yet still managed to have a massive bust up . Only on VT.
