    Christansus Uche was rumoured to be flying to England today for an unnamed Prem club, now it turns out to be Palace. Probably another club we never actually spoke to

    All young player transfers come with risk but he looks like a complete punt to me…. Physical specimen with rough edges to iron out - was playing village football in Nigeria only a few years ago. We need guys who can hit the ground running but will watch with interest how he does at palace.

    Buendia rumours gathering pace but if he’s putting on a show for villa you wonder why they’d let him go,

    Palace picked off Villa on the break to go 2-0 up and they just got a third from a long throw. Villa in trouble.

    Villa, as daft as it sounds, played better with Buendia than without him even though they conceded twice with him on the pitch. Thems the breaks sometimes.

    On Uche.

    As milky says. Huge gamble. Looks an athlete but totally untested at a really good level. One of those that could go on and be good but more often than not fall away. Not been totally convinced in the limited bits I've seen of him. One to watch rather than one to hang your hat on at this stage. Makes sense for Palace to have a gamble on him though. Free hit for them.

    His highlight reel looked like it had been compiled by someone desperate not to sell him. Like you say a free hit for palace. We can’t afford them unless they’re a bonus ball where we have plenty of options. We don’t have the finances or squad places for them right now.

    We all get excited by young prospects. I’d have liked BEK, I’d like bakwa as he passes the eye test. But for where we are, we’re better having players who are proven good than potentially great.

    … and with a patchy injury record of course <laugh>

    Well at least if we do make a move for him he is near match fit, on the other hand why would they risk him tonight when he’d be having a medical tomorrow it doesn’t sound like we’re in negotiations

    Villa wanted to make the Marco Assensio deal full time but PSG said you can’t afford him and have now sold him to Fenerbache. Poor old Villa need cash but also need players

    Presumably because of the injury to Liam Delap and the fact that they want rid of Nicholas Jackson

    **** knows but we made a quick 5m off them for it. Great deal <laugh>

    Looks like we are about to sign Geertruida now and we are trying to bring in Brobbey from Ajax. If we complete on them two that will be it for us and it’ll have been a great summer from our POV.

    You guys got any in the pipeline?

    Bakwa scored a stunner last night and won a penalty. A few more million on the deadline deal asking price for whoever gets him. Won’t be us.

    Several rumours, most are unrealistic and the usual click bait. Brobbey looks a good one if you could pull it off

    Brobbey is a great player. Had some issues over there with gangsters threatening him and his family so his form has dropped off but a new start could be perfect for him. Arsenal wanted him at one point.

    According to villa fans theres no option to get their keepers name or Buendia's name on the back of kits via the online shop

    Fingers crossed its because he coming to us
