Rudy Gestede and Ashley Young, fantastic! All of a sudden, Hal Robson Kanu looks like an inspired signing. Let's just put in a bid for Agbonlahor and make it a trio to rival Messi, Neymar and Suarez.
.....had me going there for a minute, Steve!
I'd just like to see ambition, talkSAFT. We hear stuff from the players about pushing onto Europe but we seem to think that will be achieved by a Villa reject and a past it ex Villa player. I'm not sure if these are Pulis' choices but, if they are, it concerns me that he judges these players as providing additional quality to what we have. It smacks of "on the cheap/get a good deal/bargain basement" on players who are clearly surplus to requirements at their existing clubs. If you can't get in the Villa team with their lack of strike power, you must be a donkey. Maybe others on this board have seen something in Gestede that I'm missing...either that or he's keeping it incredibly well hidden.
