Steve Madeley, known for his work for the Express & Star has suggested this. There may be hope…
Villa still trying to do deals but Remi Garde made it clear, if they do, they won't be players that he requested. #AVFC

Remi Garde is cutting an angry figure.
Andy Carroll, Diafra Sakho and Manuel Lanzini are all unavailable for the visit of Aston Villa tomorrow. Slaven Bilic may not have James Tomkins,Cheikhou Kouyate, or Emmanuel Emenike also.
Libor Kozak, Rudy Gestede, and Carlos Sanchez are all out of Aston Villa’s tie with West Ham tomorrow evening.
Ashley Westwood, Alan Hutton and Kieran Richardson all doubts.
Birmingham Mail reporter, Gregg Evans is reporting there is still hope for Villa fans!
#avfc could still get an attacker in on loan. He won't be a player who Garde has recommended, though. His targets have all fallen through.

I spent a lot of energy to convince him – but he chose another club – Remi Garde on Seydou Doumbia choosing Newcastle United
