He'd be a decent signing.

Played for them in the Premier League last season and did alright.

As I say, whenever I watched Villa on TV last season, he wasn't out of his depth in the Premier League.

Obviously they signed Matty Cash for a lot of money in the summer and have Ahmed Elmohamady as back-up, which is why they'll allow Guilbert to go out on loan.

I think he'd be a good signing and easily good enough for this level.

The other thing is he must know is he'll be the only fit RB at the club so will get lots of game time.

Finally :bluescarf:. Would also give the option of playing Osei - Tutu further forward when he’s back fit.

Don't know if he's a signing that will set the world alight however, he's a natural right back so he will slot straight in.

With Gavin Whyte going to Hull, I wonder if this will mean Guilbert goes in at right back, Tutu (when fit) moves forward to the wing, Wilson moving into the middle to provide the creativity with Ojo on the other side, Moore up top with Watters playing just off him?

Still have the wide men plus creativity through the middle.

Only heard good things about him, so looks to be a good addition to the squad for the remainder of this season

Welcome the (currently empty) madhouse, Frederic Guilbert :ayatollah: :bluescarf:

I will wait to see him play
The fact he played in the premier league means nothing to me
Declan john played 13 times in the premier league
And so did quite a few others
But i cant think of any who stayed at that level

Watch him come in and then sit on the bench for 6 weeks :lol:

Surely only be coming in as first choice? Maybe we see Tutu pushed up onto the wing.

If we are going 2 up top mate, I think the attacking central midfielder (Wilson) position will be sacrificed, otherwise we’d have a front 5 and a 1 man midfield. Then again, we don’t use the midfield going forward anyway, so it might actually work. With an additional striker, Wilson could remain on the wing (he’s hardly set the world alight from a central role, despite fans clamouring for him to play there), with Tutu as a rotational option for both right sided positions. I’ll explain with pint glasses when we are allowed back to the stadium. :lol:

A specialist RB is essential, but hopefully it’s not too little, too late. It’ll be good to see Bacuna in his natural habitat, dominating the midfield.

I've only seen him on TV a couple of times but he looks decent and is undoubtedly a better option at RB than Bacuna who hopefully Harris will then move back into the midfield.

Would be really happy if this happens, villa fans rate him quite highly. :bluescarf:

Don't be daft that would make way too much sense.
