Let's hope KEA can convince Belhanda to join us. Petrov seems to be a part of Tonev and maybe Popov.

-Reading tv, it says we've released 5 players, really we've released 3 as dawkins was on loans so is returning to spurs and makoun had a transfer clause so he's actually being sold not released.
-With Dunne and Lichaj, realistically we need a new CB and cover/competition RB
-Shame to see Marshall leave and with Given looking to sold, not sure whether we should look for a nother back-up keeper or just promote Siegrist to the bench
-And with Bent leaving, we need a new striker, to atleast challenge Benteke, especially if Benteke picks up an injury, I don't think the fonse or Bowery are the answer and gabs is hit and miss

Team should be
Guzan
Lowton, Clark, Vlar, cresswel
Syla, Gardner
Gabby, belhanda, tonev
Benteke
What about westwood or the improved delph. Baker instead of clark also.
No way! Clark; not premiership standard and Gardner hasn't played all season so will have to bring him on slowly. You have missed out weimann, Westwood and delph; who I think played very well. I wouldn't be dropping them from the line up

Younes Belhanda seems open to a move to Aston Villa by talking about them today in a press conference "Aston Villa is a great club with a big history playing in the best league in the world, so let's see what will happen. " He also stated that if a deal can be reached with Aston Villa, then he'd be very open to the move.

With all these teams chasing bentekkers I think villa should just slap a hefty price tag of £35m and be done any speculation regarding his future. Its clear the boys going right to the top of the ladder and would give us all a bit of peace of mind. I for one would be sad to leave for stupid figures the media are reporting and with 3 years left on his contract he's worth a fortune!

speculation and rumours still indicate high interest from many clubs for benteke. so why on earth haven't we offered him a bumper new deal yet?its as if it isn't the TOP priority to get him to stay which is utterly ridiculous. come on villa get a move on or we WILL lose the best player we've had in AGES.
Sorry but the balls in villas court, and I cannot see Benteke doing an odemwingie.

Defoe and £20mil offer for Benteke, that a bit harsh on Defoe,
Not really he's 30, he's not going to be worth loads
Agree he's too old.
Agree but he is a proven goalscorer and gauranteed to net 10-15 goals a season
Benteke with a full season will guarentee 20. With a full season alongside him gabby or weimman can get 15. Why downgrade?

An open message to Randy Lerner
This is a really good way of producing a successful football team
The most tricky part is buying the right players. This can be a bit problematic and very few managers get it right all the time. So, with the initial point in mind, this is what I suggest
1 : Look at the stable of players that the various managers under your stewardship have acquired, keep the really, really good ones. In particular the really, really good young ones.
2: Simultaneously, try to sell some of the really bad ones, particularly the really bad old ones
3: With the money freed up from following point 2 you may then be able to add to the players described in point 1
Note : this is the exact opposite to what you have been doing over the past 3 years
