I think we possibly have the strongest squad in the league now
Maybe lacking in out wide
If we were still in the prem this season with this new squad how do you guys think we would get on? I think maybe mid table.

More concerned about how we will do in this league.

Does anyone know why Gordon Cowans left? Wish he stayed 😢.

Steve round and the new fella from southampton are going to bring a new regime in our youth squad upwards, i guess their way or the highway.

shame though, sid will always be pure class, on and off the field, personally, i think their wrong forcing him out, but he's shown pure class with how its been tidied up and presented to everyone, they could have learned a lot from him.

I'm not saying that Cowans isn't a legend, but I'm glad there is a change. We need to start planning for the future and revitilise the club.

I tend to agree. I keep hearing about how good we are at youth level but very few make a lasting impression on the first team.

Whilst, like most, I would view Sid as a club legend, we can’t continually be living on past glories. Perhaps that’s been part of our recent problems – continually looking backwards to the ‘glory days’ instead of forwards, and expecting us to have a team that as good as the 81/ 82 squad whereas actually we haven’t had a team that competitive since … well since 81/ 82. I’m sure we’ve all got our own personal favourite ‘legend’ from that era - Tony Morley was mine – but in many ways I would draw a parallel with the England situation – years of massive expectation from the fans but never delivered on by the team – leaving a void of desperation filled only by ageing saddos still banging on about 1966. If it’s that kind of historic glory we want to cling on to, perhaps we should all nip over to Germany and claim asylum (easy apparently) and start supporting Bayern and the German team – 26 league titles, 8 assorted European Cups, 3 Euros and 3 World Cups since 1966. However, as Villa fans we owe it to ourselves and the team to look forward at what we can achieve from now on rather than hand-wringing at what might have been.
Meanwhile, has anyone got a glass cabinet big enough to put Tony Morley in? I’m going to have him stuffed and put in my front-room ;)

I'd have given you my glass cabinet mate but I need it for when Mr McGrath and Mr Duran pop their clogs as well as Mr Orwell of course)

just been on yahoo and they have a list of the top 13 players who are free right now (but only mention 12 players) off this list who would people be interested in? it might be a hypothetical question as other than cash why would they sign for us,

Martin Caceres. Mathieu Flamini. Dimitar Berbatov. Antonio Di Natale. Junior Hoilett. Stephane Sessegnon (mentioned last week i know) . Marouane Chamakh. Sulley Muntari. Jose Enrique. Emmanuel Adebayor. Raul Meireles and Miroslav Klose.

Erm. none!



07 Sep 2016 19:48:15
Difficult to say regarding players most may not have seen for a while. Jose Enrique, assuming he's anything like the player he was, is the standout for me. None of the others though.



07 Sep 2016 19:59:39
none past it money stealing has beens.
