No, what difference does it make that they are local or not? If they are good enough then doesn't matter where they are from.. Only Grigg is a Villa fan out of the 3 players. Grigg & Henry are two of the best players in League 1 along with Bradley Dack (And he isn't local) and plenty of other examples. Roofe is best player in League 2.

PompeyVillan Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Gary Gardner, Joe Bennett, Callum Robinson all on loan at the moment. Gardner has scored a few screamers for Forest this season. I suspect we'll utilise him next season next to Westwood, if we can keep hold off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Gardner really should get a shot next season. At least let's see whether he's good enough with our own eyes rather than just speculating on here. Can't say I'm too thrilled at Bennett getting another shot tbh, he never seems to do anything in his loan spells either. He's also been here 4 years now, how long left on his contract? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I don't know if I'm going mad, but, how much do you think Stoke would want for Crouchy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Grigg has a good scoring record in fairness but still prefer Nakhi Wells as man fire us out of Championship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are to persist/keep Gestede, then we need a Defoe type player next to him. Someone that is mobile, has pace and most importantly scores goals. I am happy to keep Gestede next season because we cannot get rid of the whole squad, but we desperately need a reliable goal scorer to get out of the Championship. Replying on Gestede alone to do this would be damaging to our chances in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 How can we be close to signing anyone without a manager for a start in addition if you believe nonsense then a takeover may be on the cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes my back to the good ol' days of the NBA when the players were named Mugsy Bogues, Spud Webb, Xavier McDaniel and my personal favorit name Mookie Blaylock Fat Lever was a NBA player. Best name ever. Sorry off topic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuleAthon Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I don't know if I'm going mad, but, how much do you think Stoke would want for Crouchy? I was thinking that while watching MOTD last night. Would be a good signing and I reckon he'd come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been promoted three times now, MK Franchise and Brentford both let him go when they went up although would expect Wigan to keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bretonvilla Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I think Croich would be a great signing as long as he doesn't demand the earth . Better than Gestede and seems a good character too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) At what ? Way past it footballer who had very little when he wasn't past it. Edit - done better than I thought recently, so considering how crap Rudy is, I take the point. Still wouldn't want him though, I'm sick of us being a retirement home.
