Loads wrote him off around January. Guess we'll never know whether Wesley would've come good second half of season but he looked good vs Burnley I remember being one of the doubters when Benteke skied a rebound into the Holte in a defeat to Southampton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be Cutrone related, he's recently moved to Fiorentina on loan and would likely be using BHX to go back and forth. I'm just guessing of course. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fact we've obviously been lacking a depth in striker, or any quality striker since the last transfer window shut 5 months ago. It's a fact this transfer window has been open for over 2 weeks and we are still in a situation where we start matches without a striker, while other clubs (even those we might be fighting relegation with) have been able to sign a forward. And those clubs don't even need it remotely as much as us. Hope that clears it up. Edited January 16, 2020 by KenjiOgiwara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3 points that could secure survival, a 3 pts that will be near impossible to get without a striker signed. ...and still we are seemingly dicking about or unable to get a deal over the line. I am not one to complain about lack of movement, I understand how the January window works, everyone holds their cards until the last day and it all kicks off. Saying that, it was and is absolutely imperative for us to get 2 strikers through the door right from the off. Club's recruitment is a **** joke right now. If it gets to the Watford game and we are still keeping our powder dry people should be sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the flight info mate but you need to really up your game. As already mentioned we need passenger manifests and once the flight has arrived we want pictures of the passengers arriving, (in case they’re using a pseudonym), and who is picking them up. Then track any Range Rovers, Mercs etc to see if they’re going to BMH. If you could rig up some sort of rifle mic to pick up conversations that would also be handy. You're going to have a busy couple of weeks and you’ll probably be unemployed by the end of the month, but this is important and I think you’ll agree, well worth the sacrifice. If you’re a real Villa fan you won’t hesitate....... 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 @KenjiOgiwara @tomav84 Gents please, @The Inspiration has taken on all responsibility of our transfer dealings as our new resident plane tracker man person - so, should we not sign anybody this window, and as is customary on VT, all messages of despair need to be aimed directly at him... Have a great day. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even down to the prospects personal situation. We want him signed now but he could have stuff going on like kids at school, wife wanting to know what the house will be like etc etc. I know we would be paying a lot of money to them but these guys aren’t exactly struggling to pay their bills now anyway. That’s the trouble with dealing with humans, they’re just so unpredictable and well...human. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that clears it up. who else has signed a striker? watford have from udinese but they have the same owners and udinese have been their feeder club for some time my point is that we have absolutely no idea what's going on behind the scenes but the likes of you have been jumping on the board saying how poorly a job they're doing with very little fact to back that up. if no one wants to join us, and/or the clubs dont want to sell to us, how is that the board's fault? it's like a car salesman being criticised for not selling cars when no one has set foot on the forecourt. besides, this club, even since the steve stride days, has always been very good at hiding its deals from the press. wesley signing a classic example...they kept a £22m deal away from the press until the 11th hour. there wasn't even a sniff of a link with us to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
