What do you think? He's a tall defender and he's reasonably quick, but so was Ilori.

Centre half isn't really a weak position for us, are two of Okore, Lescott and Richards going to be disappointed?

I wonder whether Remi is looking to add size and bite in the Sanchez/Westwood position?

I think you could be right VB, I'm not convinced by wither Sanchez or AW as our Anchor, so all for it if he's any good (never heard of him) and he's planning on adding him in as a DM. That said if he's good enough and will improve any area, get him in, we're not in a position to be fussy over any player that could improve us.

If we could add a mobile striker to work alongside or in combination with Ayew and Gil, that would be a huge bonus. Rumours Gabby and Grealish could be off to Derby (the former based on a potentially real instagram account and a pic of him and Weimann and the latter via a few whispers) That said I'd also heard rumblings of Gabby to WBA, so let's see, either way I think he's off this window. Goodbye (riddance)

What do we think guys?

[Sandie]

He didn't celebrate his goal as much as you would expect so maybe he knows he's off?

[villabromsgrove]

Even though he's 33 years old he's an experienced defender and he steadies our defence. However, I guess if Fox get's the chance to remove his wages from Villa's books he'll jump at it.

Business will trump football yet again.

This Sane we were linked with is a left-sided centre half. Ready made replacement?

Possibly, but he'll cost 4 million approx. He's 28 years old but relatively inexperienced.

I think we were looking at a six month loan deal for him according to the links. So not exactly going to be a long term solution. If we thought Lerner pinched the pennies in the Premier League...

I thought Bordeaux had said no to a loan deal .... buy him or no deal?

Sky Sports are saying LA Galaxy have submitted a £3million offer.

LA Galaxy have said they've offered nothing of the sort.

[villabromsgrove]

Any fee would be minimal, certainly no more than we paid for him, but should we sell him? I see the attraction for the miserly Randy because he's one of our bigger wage earners (surely he's got a relegation pay clause).

It seems that Debuchy may be coming on loan, do we need to use a loan option for right back? Surely Bacuna deserves an extended run. Remi has to be careful that having "lucked" onto a back four unit, he doesn't dismantle it straight away.

[Sandie]

Austin gone to Southampton.

He wouldn't have chosen us over them now but I still think we dropped a clanger not going after him in the summer.
