I’ve been Pleasantly surprised by DCL’s two cameo’s. I was wondering how he kept finding space and was thinking he was deceptively mobile. Mr google said he was Everton’s fastest player last year. He has genuine pace. Never really noticed that when watching him previously. Had him bracketed as a target man (which he does well too).

If we can keep him fit I think he’s going to be a really big asset to us (even allowing for his inability to hit the target :biggrin:) Key word there being ‘if’.
I think he is a carbon copy (though a bit quicker) of Bamford, gets into great positions but his finishing lets him down. Also, as with Paddy, he’ll hit goal scoring streaks and troughs.

The problem I see as it stands is, we're not going to be creating the number of chances he needs to convert them into goals.
We all know we need a playmaker.

I agree in principle but I think DCL is a level above Paddy. He's played top level all his career. Paddy did approx 2 seasons.

This.

Imagine if we could find a 29 year old Pablo from somewhere. We'd be much much better for it.

Whisper it quietly but Villa have looked terrible this season and are getting outplayed at home to Palace. They have European games this season.

On this form they could easily get sucked in.

That’s what PSR does when you cheat the system. They are even doing bent deals with inflated sale prices to compliant buying club. We have seen it with Italian clubs buying from Villa and Chelsea
 
So Hamer played, Buendia played, Bakwa played and scored. Going to be a strange day tomoz as we still have Meslier who was enquired about by Galatasary. Think we told them to fook off, but a few clubs in for him but some want a loan and we want a sale. Same problem with Gyabi
