Alright Villa. I'm Sorry. i thought that alex mcleish was one of those stupid managers who would just sign players from his ex-clubs. i was disappointed with the signings at first (apart from Shay Given) But my god they've come good and i believe that if he can keep the players that are currently playing for the Villa, we could seriously be thinking about europe. So really this comment is really a sorry. A sorry to Alex McLeish for being one of the doubters. Do you forgive me.

Alex Mcliesh maybe an ok choice as the Villa Manager but to say he's come good we've played 5 matches 4 of them easy and only won once, in the majority of games Villa are being outplayed our attack is SH*T with no last ball supply to Bent as Albrighton cuts wide cuts in and shoots himself or sky's it N'zogbia is much the same Agbonlahor is the only one scoring provided he's given the ball early enough, the only positive's are we have a solid keeper and our defense are back to their best ability.

January Transfers

Craig Dawson - £5m from WBA. NO THANK YOU
Carlton Cole - £5m from WHU. NO THANK YOU he was s**t at Villa before and ent done much since
Snodgrass - £4.5m from Leeds would be good if he can make the step up in class

Out:
Cuellar - £3m to Rangers

Carlton Cole is about as much use as a chocolate teapot. He does not score goals and he cant create goals, so what else is there that he can do? NOY A LOT!

If Bent is injured Saturday I think the team that should start is....

Given

Hutton Dunne Collins Warnock


Agbonlahor Petrov Jenas Delph

N'zogbia

Heskey

Team I would like to see after the January transfer window.....

Given

Hutton Dunne Cahill Warnock


Agbonlahor Davis Jenas Delph

N'zogbia

Bent
also look to sign either
Nikola Žigić or Nikica Jelavic and maybe bring in unattached James Mcfadden.
Bench would be strong including seven from the above and Petrov, Collins, Ireland, Herd, Delfouneso, Bannan, Albrighton, Clarke and Marshall

Sat s team

given
hutton
collins
dunne
warnock
delph (holding)
ireland
jenas
agbonlahor
nzogbia
bent

jan

given
hutton
onuoha
collins
warnock
delph
ireland
jenas
bent
defoe
nzogbia

For the first team mentioned for january transfer i would have Davis back would prefer to make Jenas perminant if he recaptures his from.
and the second team mentioned for january i'd love to see defoe in a Villa shirt instead of Heskey

The squaf i feel is looking in good shape, but i think McLeish will reshape the squad further in January. Surely the likes of Beye will be leaving..

However, the squad still looks a little thin in the forward positions. N'Zogbia will prove to be an excellent signing, Agbonlahor gives us pace, Heskey gives power and Bent is clinical and has fantastic off the ball movement. A target man is still missing - we know what a fan of Zigic McLeish is, he would be available cheap and would probably be more than happy to force through a move and get out of the Championship.

The other option would be Nikola Jelavic from Rangers, Villa have a good relationshop with Rangers so this transfer is possible. However if Villa want to go cheaper than Zigic would be the better choice out of the two men.

Lastly an extra midfielder wouldn't go a miss, we know of the interest in Steven Davis, expect this to be reignited in January. 5 million at most would be enough to get McLeish his man, Cuellar could be part of the deal if the new Irish lad impresses and can fill his place in the squad.

Glad to hear all your comments!

EJ

Surely the obvious thing to do is coax Trevor Francis out of retirement, he would be far a better signing than James McFadden

huttons a good buy, he was doing really well pre-season. should of bagged another striker like sturridge, as heskey isn't a goalscorer

Aston Villa swooped to bring in Alan Hutton and Jermaine Jenas from Tottenham?? Swooped? More like looted and we will pay the (harsh) penalty.

Villa Sign Hutton and Jenas (loan) and a untried youngster in Stevens.

Yet we need a CREATIVE midfielder and a striker to be a second option from Bent WHY not get Bentdner and SWP as N'Zogbia isn't proving his worth at the minute

If were trying to cut the wage bill down, how on god earth would we have signed a man city player whose on silly wages and is probably on a silly wage at qpr and bendtner who is also on more then our top earner. N'zogbia has played 3 games.. Give the guy a chance for pete sake. Also we don't need a creative midfielder, we have ireland and bannan. Hush please your embarrasing us realists.

Bendtner isnt on big money he's on 55k at aresnal which isnt that what Heskey is on
and as for QPR we've seen it before in Portsmouth spend big then they cant cover it or ven fill there stadium
Villa lost 2 creative wingers got N'zogbia who in my opinion should be warming the bench for Albrighton and who else on the wing is supplying Bent that would be no one as Gabby cut's in to shoot himself
