duo

Can't say I am not happy about it though

They're crying out for a quality DM

Well exactly

I really hope we go for Martial - he's not even in the squad today

Kaveh saying some hurdles Villa need to sign him - fee/wages etc so no done deal for Villa

Left in the Summer I think

Love Villa to get an absolute hammering

Come on Man U

That's the problem - no one does. Total unproven - played 17 games of 1st team football.

If the owners want to get us out this mess - they're going to have to get the cheque book out and blow any budget they had planned. Trying to haggle with Burnley over the likes of Chris Wood when we've a crucial game in 5 days times isn't the way to go about it.

For having the responsibility of scoring the goals to keep us up. Mitro had similar pressures on him and he had more first team experience than this lad.

Great prospect but not the answer to our problem - no where near enough experienced.

How can people possibly be defending Wood? Look at Burnley's position in the League - if he can't get them out the relegation zone what makes people think he can get us out??

Get the cheque book out and put £50mil for Patrik Schick - much more like it.

It's not weakening them by much let's be fair - and they'll probs use the money to buy someone better.

Ban tweets by Luke Edwards - Chris Wood - get lost.

Just throw them an offer they can't refuse - I don't care if we over pay. We're desperate - that's how it rolls sometimes.

Can't rely on this lad to keep us up - need another striker for sure.

Every club just sees us as a big fat cheque book

In World football every player knows who Gerrard is, I very much doubt the same can be said of Howe. Just look at the Keegan affect and the players he attracted to the club in the early days. It makes a difference.

I would have thought it'd destroy their wage structure. I'd actually be surprised if they paid it as they are not as desperate for a LB as us.

I don't think we're in a position to haggle

I do think Gerrard is a factor in this- no disrespect to Howe but Gerrard is a bigger name in the game. I wouldn’t underestimate the impact of having a big name as manager.

I'd add a CD, LB to that - Dennis and King are going to rip us to shreds.
