Brilliant news re Tom Griffiths.

Best of luck from me to this young villan, and best wishes to his dad and family.

Horrible story, with a great outcome, and the photo and caption from his dad at vp, I'll be honest, reduced me to tears.
Brave young man.

You have my respect young man. Well done.

Well done young fella,
I've been reading this site for a couple of years now and been a villa fan for over 40 years. I read all the posts on here and scratch my head most of the the time.
Yes I love the MIGHTY VILLA. but I honestly hope and pray there were a lot more young people like you, who battle on, have faith and all with a smile. AND END UP WINNING. Well done mate your a HERO 👍👍.

Henandez has just said he would not hesitate if aston villa came calling.

Loads saying this. Where?

read this morning torino and fiorentina are intrested too. safe to say we will be missing out there to.

Abel Hernandez says on the radio if villa call it's a no brainer, would be a huge upgrade on Gustede think we should go all out to get him, with him and McCormack up top with ayew behind them we would have the strongest front line in the league imo.

We can have the strongest forward line in the league, but without creating chances or having that bit of quality in the final 3rd it counts for nothing.

Just seen we have sold bennet what are we doing cissoko is useless bennets a good player and got pace where hutton an cissoko haven't got much we need pace to get out this division . last season bmouth had plenty . if we play amavi, bacuna lb, an rb plus green adarma wings an use grealish as creative mid and mccormack up front with hepburn murphy upfront. we would destroy teams.

I really hope we can sign a right back! Hutton always gave 100% but unfortunately that's not enough. We need someone who can put some decent crosses in the box, everyone says that Gestede is not doing enough, but who's providing for him? We've got a proper target man and no full backs to cross. Same goes for Cissokho.

not happy about letting Bennett go and keeping can't cross won't cross Cissokho - Bennet is probably the best crosser of the ball in the squad and if we continue to play justhead then we need someone who can cross the ball. Before anyone says Bennett is not so good at defending - have you watched Cisshoko?

{Ed001's Note - I can fully understand your frustration, Cissoko is a nice lad who tries his best but is utterly hopeless.}

In all honesty bennett is a better player than Cissokho however he also hasn't performed since arriving at villa l. so not surprised to see him go as he didn't impress any of the previous 4 managers

However I would also get rid of cissokho also .

For me i would have Amarvi with Rico Henry from Walsall as back up .

Totally agree kenn. Rico looks a great prospect.

Sad to see Bennett leave but wouldn't be so sad to see cissokho go.
