Mervyn King, Ian Taylor and Brian little all should be on the board.

Little announced today as Jersey Team Manager so don't reckon my boyhood hero is coming home!

Just a little over 12 days left some outs but not one in, very very frustrating clubs above and around the relegation area all spent on new additions, all i have heard/ read is we are linked with this player that player we are in talks with this one or that one but alas. anything positive? Nope same old villa dragging there feet again ending up with the slops, wouldn't surprise me if the powers that be have said "oh look we're on a good run we don't need anyone". heard we would have someone before the Wycombe game and now its before the tesco game. I can see last minute scrambles for the dregs?

A poor showing in this transfer window! Much needed reinforcements don't want to have certain relegation on the cv's. It is now inevitable. With the time left, we'd surely never get deals done we actually need. Talk of certain players going has died down, probably because garde knows he can't get anyone in.

I haven't been on this site for a while due to feeling uninspired by our plight. Had to come sooner or later though! And to think we were all so buoyant in the summer.

I don't blame garde! I don't even blame Sherwood, he should have been given more time. We're no better off than we were in November when he left. In my opinion, we should have just kept lambert and suffered relegation last year. Horrible to say, but could be what we need to get this great club going again. Get rid of the mercenaries and actually have people who want to play for the club and do well for the club. That way we could at least build a team, a squad and get a winning mentality going again!

Loans for players like ramos and sane no good! Accept the inevitable and look at buying players like Jordan rhodes, Tom ince and Andre gray.

I agree with that, Villa should be using their little reputation they have left to try and attract the very best which is already established in the championship especially anyone unlikely to come up this season.
There's lot of good young players in the championship who would still relish the chance for a shot at the big time all be it for 5 months.
And next season we'd have established players.

Jordan Rhodes, Adam Henley, Henri Lansbury, Will Hughes, Andre Gray, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Charlie Taylor, Lewis Cook, Teddy Bishop, Jon Toral, Moussa Dembele, Isak Sse****ambo, Zach Clough etc etc.

ha i didn't even notice what was in the middle of his name until it got censored!

{Ed007's Note - I'd never heard of him and had to go hunting to see who you were on about - it was the built in swear filter that done it btw. It's one of the best names I've came across in a long time (no pun intended).}

20 Jan 2016 19:39:53
God I hope we sign him!! Just purely to hear the chants!!

20 Jan 2016 21:40:19
I play quite of football manager that's the main reason I know the players but I've always followed ex villains at their other clubs and Derby have quite a few now.
I think he's a similar player to bacuna quick and skilful not the best defender though but still young can play rb cb or cm. His name is great though and can only imagine the chants I'm not sure how it's pronounced though.

Just heard Tom Ross on Talksport
Utter garbage
He reckons Clarke should start Clarke is going to the Euros with Ireland
Clarke is to rash
Lescot and Okore look better
Agree with him on Grealish
Not a team player and he couldn't be bothered
Sinclair much the same
The young right back put the crosses in
Gestede is awful
Richards all heart but wouldn't play him
Sanchez still hasn't got to premier league pace
In all fairness it was a no win game for the villa
Win 5-0 it's only Wycombe
Lose1-0
We are slaughtered by ever pundit
The ref was awful
Constant pushing kicking pulling
Off the ball fouls
But villa will be playing in that league next year
We need to toughen up or we will do a Leeds
One question we were 3 unbeaten until last night and we all agree the previous 2 games Palace Leicester we were better
Why did Remi not play that team for the first half to get a couple of goals then bring the others in
Another note
That number 20 from Wycombe was a nightmare how many fouls pushes grappling did he do and the ref did nothing
Nice to see Gana get his goal
A light in a dark place.

I would play Clarke an okore
On less wages than Richards an lescott an have something to prove an fight for we need rid of all the big earners in my opinion a back 4 next year of

Lyden okore Clarke amavi


Decent young players who not on big money.

20 Jan 2016 10:41:25
Then build the midfield round jack


Traore westwood gueye Robinson
Grealish
Gestede.

20 Jan 2016 16:53:50
westwood no way, he's been there a while now and been sh-t.

20 Jan 2016 19:25:33
Rather build team around Gil than Grealish, both lightweight but at least Gil offers something in most games, Grealish for me is STILL living off that semi final from last season.

20 Jan 2016 20:11:15
Build the team around grealish? Really?
The kid believes the hype around his name, and he is no where near!
1 goal, and nothing else.
He is a weak lee hendry.
Not commited, uninterested, rather go on lash with mates.
We need warriors, not cadets.
Gil 10x the player.

Also, Clarke in team above Richards and lescote, Richards is a right back, end of argument, won't play there, then leave.
Lescote is past it, can't read a game, and here for a payday.
Clarke is committed, passionate and the only real team leader we have.
Yes he occasionally mistimes, lunges and gives silly free kicks, but, he is a fighter, will roll his sleeves up and get in the trenches with us.
As would of baker.
Would Richards, or lescote??

Totally agree, I was looking at some of our ex players playing in the championship and else where the other day and to be honest most of them would still get in our team certainly the squad and also the likes of weimann, bannan, lichaj, albrighton whittingham etc actually cared more about the Villa than almost everyone who has replaced them.
