If we get relegated ?

[VillaAlways]

Would the team look like this



                         Marshall           

         Lichaj      Cuellar    Clark       Baker


        Albrighton    Herd   Delph     Bannan


                    Fonz      Weimann


Or would we be stripped to even barer bones than this.

I am on my second bottle of wine and on overdrive.Sorry
 

[Dave]

Can't see any reason why Marshall would be playing ahead of Guzan.

[PaulWinch again]

It wouldn't be stripped that far.

[TheSandman]

There are more likely to be bidders for Albrighton and Bannan than Beye and Dunne.

[PaulWinch again]

If we chose to, we could hang onto most players for a season provided we came straight back up.

[Chipsticks]

That team is full of Kids, it's not like we wouldn't sign more players.

I reckon we could nab the likes of Bullard, Kilbane etc

[Dave]

I'd expect Collins, Gabby and Heskey to be here at a minimum in addition to those listed above.

[Greg N'Ash]

trouble is when you get relegated the young promising kids are the ones that get cherry picked leaving you with the overpaid arse like Dunne, etc., who no-one wants anyway

[Irish villain]

I'm gutted and we're not even down.

[JJ-AV]

We'd keep hold of Clark, Albrighton, Bannan, Delph, Bent and Gabby and absolutely dominate the Championship.

[ozzjim]

Think GH would go if we do drop.

Then the side would likely be...

Guzan

Lichaz

Clark (just signed a new deal and I reckon would stay to see if we can get back for a season)
Collins

New left back

New left mid
Delph
Bannan
Albrighton

Gabby
Heskey

Fonz, Weimann, Hogg, Herd, Baker etc also about.

Players that would go

Dunne - 2m
Young 12m
Downing 12m
Reo Coker - free although might be convinced to stay.
Warnock - 3-4m
Luke Young - free
Bent - not sure at all if he would go, but probably would for 15m or so
Makoun - can't see him playing championship football - 5m
Walker back to Spurs
Friedel - free
Cuellar - 6m

With us probably spending 10-12m on 3-4 players to pad the squad out to fight to come back up.

[cdbearsfan]

Bent and Makoun can't leave till the January window under FIFA rules.

Is absolutely what happens.
