-He’s missed every penalty he’s taken in the football league.
-He lacks pace.
-He’s scored 9 goals in his last 64 games.
He’s just perfect for us. How did we not see this one coming?

He can fuck right off for me if that happens. I’m rapidly losing patience with him, as are many others it seems. They're gonna have to find patience as he isn't going anywhere. Not only is it a project so he will be given time, (as he should be), if we were to sack him, we become almost Sunderlandesque and no manager with any hope of a career will touch us with a barge pole. Give it time, he will work wonders for us. How much time should he be given then when the bloke himself and our owner says the aim this season is to get promoted. Is that the project because if it is then it’s a short project. You can’t raise supporter expectations like that then if it goes wrong say we shouldn’t have lost patience.with him as it’s a long term project that will take time!

The mistake was when he was appointed last season we werent honest in saying promotion was unattainable. However this would have maybe seen supporters not turn up to the matches, players drop their games even further and cause even more issues. The project started then. Promotion is the aim and the project this year. Top 6 has to be a minimum aim. However I wouldn't call for his head if we ended 8th-10th should we see vast improvement in the play.

Whatever happened to that signing?

Campbell is off then? Fucking manager Why not give Campbell a run? Have I missed something? Because he doesn’t trust him? Unless Afobe goes, which seems unlikely?

If it means Campbell going out on loan then it's another nail in coffin for Jones as far as I'm concerned, I'm disliking him more by the week. Totally agree with this.. the making of a team to smash league 1 has begun.. Never mind they have our season ticket money now!

His Brentford record was 21 goals in 27 Championship starts (and 6 sub appearances) at a goal every 116 minutes.
Now just got to work out what was working there that has failed at Villa!

He's had a lot of injuries in the last few years

Not quite Dwight Gayle is it? Tough to know what to think. He was sought after following his Brentford spell but we’ve seen players move and fail before so you can’t completely write him off, however, I don’t think another striker lacking in goals and confidence is really what we need right now. And as others have pointed out, if it displaces Campbell then, for me, it’s a bad move.
Sell Afobe or loan him out and I can more than deal with it. Bringing him in to replace Campbell though and it’s another step in the wrong direction.

How did we not see this one coming? hes doesn’t lack pace? To be fair i’ve just read a few articles on him and apparently he’s pretty quick, he’s been compared to Vardy. I’ve seen him a few times and can’t ever remember his pace causing sides any problems.

Another one who couldn't get a start in the Champo last season. Ace. Does our Messiah have any idea what he's doing? I genuinely don't know. I hope so! 😁 Keep everything crossed. If NJ lasts the season I fully expect us to have a great Christmas, a catastrophic early Easter period with a significant upturn in fortunes for the run-in.

He is quite quick, I seem to recall from when I have seen him, and he was the dog's danglies at Brentford in this league not that long ago. I hope we get the Brentford version, not the Villa one, and that he reconnects with his old Halifax mucker Gregory in a potent, hard working strike force.

I know little of Hogan. Wasnt he at sheff utd last season?

Because it’s a football rumours web site that just makes ups the stories up. Yes but why are we never the lead in these stories is what I’m trying to say. Sorry mate I though you were having a dig because we weren’t first in line seems it isn’t just a rumour though. Another striker who can’t score. Great!
