I think people to stay a bit positive over next season, if u look at the players we will have coming back and coming in i. e grealish, Gardner, okore, Kozak, bents not a bad replacement to Kodak for the start until Christians back. Cole will bring experience and a player the young players can look upto. Afterall he may not be the best player now but he has achieved an incredible amount in his care

Grealish, Gardner and Okore are all young unproven players at this level and it is unfair to burden them with the responsibility of saving us.
Bent is a spent force in the prem and by all accounts is off anyway.
Cole was a great player but his legs have gone and he is only here because nobody else in the division is stupid enough to give him another contract
Unless something changes we are relegation certainties mate

Im optimistic about cole, at lille he was very good then went to west ham and couldn't get fit. If we get him fit he'll do well.
Senderos has always been terrible but then again Clark and baker are useless too.

Grealish, Gardner and Okore would rather put my faith in these than the likes ok Lowton Bacuna Luna Styla Westwood Kozak and Sendross Just to name a few

That's the point mate. We are about to through some seemingly decent youngsters in with the likes of Lowton Bacuna Luna Styla Westwood Kozak and Sendros
The point I am trying to make is that that is not fair on those youngters

I see the point you are trying to make Mendax.
But that problem never affected Trevor Francis.

It seems Barry is staling on a loan / move to Everton.
Surely this would be a great opportunity to for us to make our interest known.
I know his wages might be a stumbling block but I think we should push the boat out just a little to try and get him.
He would offer us vast experience and a calming influence.
I know he left us, but only after giving us many years of great service, and let's be honest here who would not move on and double your wages.
Your thoughts.

I couldn't agree more Dave. Unless I jumped up and down and agreed of course

Ed.
Has there been any indication that we are showing any interest in Barry at all, or any other player for that matter.

{Ed003's Note - Not that I've heard Dave.}
Thanks Ed.
Hi Mendax, bloody slow on here lately mate, It needs someone to show an interest in Benteke again to stir em up.
Agree0

Too right Dave.
I think we are truly in the mire
An owner who doesn't want us and is running away from his responsibilities and nobody on the horizon to take the pain away

Mendax, I think you are being unduly pessimistic, mate. A lot of rubbish came up from the division below last season, and while I am not expecting us to finish in the top six or even eight I can name at least 6 clubs who are far worse than Villa who will be more in danger of relegation than we are. I foresee a bad season for Southampton this time round given the number of players that have left as well as them bringing in a new manager. My tip for the surprise side this season are Hull who have made a number of very astute signings.
Clarrie.

We all assumed that Palace were kind of "rubbish" last year that you are talking about this year Dave.
I think we will be in trouble again and would certainly have us as one of the favourites to go down
There seems to be something toxic surrounding Villa. We'll probably only know the real story once Lerner and Lambert have left
