Heroes?
I think the Petrov 'link' is just an absolute shot in the dark. Given our midfield options, we simply can't sell him in January, unless we have a couple of top-class players coming in. Petrov has played pretty well this season and now, without Jenas to call on, we have a real lack of experience in midfield.Ireland appears to be going absolutely nowhere with us, though I'm not sure who would take him; Cuellar simply isn't being used and with six months remaining on his deal I think he'll the player to leave.
... but this tiredness thing is a bit of a myth that's snowballed.

He is contracted until the summer and Villa have an extra year option on him. However Stan has been told that Villa will not be taking up this option so he will be leaving in the summer if not before.Don't shoot the messenger but I was told this on Saturday.
Petrov was breaking forward after 91 minutes on Saturday to set up Albrighton's shot.He's hardly Michael Essien, but this tiredness thing is a bit of a myth that's snowballed.
