    I'm not convinced Brentford still want him. Even if they sell Benrahma they'll have the money to go after better quality players.

    Plus they also have 2 young strikers (Forss and Dervisoglu) ready to come into the side if any of the main guys leave.

    They'll go for Toney and Taylor... Just wait and see.

    Every time I see more posts to this thread, I feverishly jump in hoping for "Championship striker in freak combine harvester accident..."

    But Alas and Alack!

    Wouldn’t it be ironic if the snake got bitten by an adder during one of his many golf days

    Rumour on Twitter suggesting he's agreed terms with Villa.

    Most of his twitter posts are bullshit, if you have a look.

    Well I assume they'll be getting a big relegation bonus, so can probably afford the £20-25k a week we couldn't.

    Lyle is older than the usual Brentford signing anyway. Their whole model is about signing talented young players, the sort who will increase in value

    Last summer they may have seen Lyle as a short term signing, but I can't see them wanting him now.

    Agree with that. They probably saw him as a partner for Watkins whilst they eased Mbeumo into English football. Mbeumo has since done really well and unless they're selling him or Watkins, they have no need to upset that partnership.

    My guess is that he's on a promise for Brentford - but only if they stay in the Championship.  If they get promoted then I suspect they'll be after a premier level player.  Just a guess - I think he is top half Championship league level but premier - not so sure.

    Sheffield United and Norwich went up with most of their side described as just good Championship players. Right about Norwich but wrong about United.
    Aston Villa were the team that looked like they had enough to stay up !

    Gudmundsson was another who many had doubts about his abilities to be a premier player but on the rare times he is fit has looked the part.
    Look at the abuse Pope got while playing for us

    Pope had one major weakness which was the ball hit hard at his body low down.
    He appears to have overcome this by hard work, plus the saves he does with his feet is amazing.

    We have a certain amount of fans who get off on giving abuse. 
    Not my style, I want everyone who pulls on the cafc shirt to do well. Many fail but succeed elsewhere; Simon Francis springs to mind.

    If you want to see the difference a quality number 9 can make, have a look at Southampton’s recent form. Ings scores again.

    Watkins wasn't a centre forward until this season, he only moved to play the No 9 role because they didn't bring in Lyle (!) and has no direct replacement for Maupay

    Have many transfers been announced yet from players who have ratted on finishing their seasons for clubs ...
    I'd have thought they'd wait till the season is finished before any announcements are made .

    I know the rumor is false but TBH i always thought villa would be the ones to come in for him. They saw him make Mings look ordinary in that testimonial last year and i don't think villa have much of a strike force anyway.

    Mings is pretty ordinary to be fair. Only reason he is anywhere near the England squad is because he is left footed.

    A decent half season for Villa in the Championship, followed by a small number of good games in the PL shouldn't be enough to earn an England call up

    Form should be enough at least.

    Jay Boothroyd did it from the champ from memory, and in terms of quality Lyle is far better.

    Bothroyd only got one call up didn't he?

    Toney is the gamble surely as younger

    Villa?! Guaranteed hat-trick against us then next year 🙈

    Judging by the impotence of Villa's forward line, Lyle Taylor is better that all of them now. They should go for him in their return to the Championship with Norwich and Bournemouth. Get Karlan Grant to play along side and they have 35 goals if they stay fit.

    Millwall don’t want to announce it till the season’s finished 
    Think they were the club to get rid of him as a youngster
