Would be amazed if NRC plays for O'Neill again.

He'll probably end up at QPR.

Judas v Reo-Coker

MON never seemed like the forgiving sort, on that basis can't see NRC signing for him again.

The only way you can judge your own or ex-players is how you'd feel if and when they line up against you. Cuellar? meh.

To be fair after the fall out NRC was captain for a game v Bolton which was probably his best for Villa.
A few weeks later Stan was back and NRC was on the bench when we won at Old Trafford - and MON never realy changed the team after that. The start of his and our demise.

Cuellar was a decent player for Villa.  Never keen on losing somebody like that, but it could be worse I suppose.

Good point Peter. I always thought he was distinctly average though sometimes unfairly left out in competition with other even less distinctly average players. I hate 'hit and hoof' defenders and he was one of the best at that. As you say, him lining up against us would invoke no reaction in me at all to be honest. Nice guy though I think, saw him once being very considerate to the youngsters seeking autographs in a pre-season friendly at Basingstoke as he ambled around the side of the pitch

I'm sure someone will be along to post an alternative view once his masterwork A Complete History of Spurs Accounts is finished.

Dunno what the stats show over the last few seasons but I would be surprised if we were poor defensively on the rare occasions it was Carlos in central defence alongside Collins or Dunne or even when he was moved to RB as we were o.k defensively over xmas when he was playing there.
