I just wish we could release few posters from here in the same way  ;)

Given the wage bill situation I would actually prefer that we had given Guzan a sensible contract offer, and offloaded Given who is injury prone, ageing and paid top whack. Guzan looked as good as Given when he had a run in the team,

I don't think many people would agree, but I do.

Me too

Nice guys all of them but no great loss I'm afraid - the release from the club says it all really


I agree.

Heskey does have the odd few games when he looks a class act. The rest of the time he's a flop.

Cuellar was overrated IMO.

Guzan? Decent back up.

Heskey's best days were at Liverpool where he scored 1 in 3, everywhere else he's been 1 in 5 which is simply not good enough when you bear in mind the ludicrous contract we gave him.

He had a brief purple patch during the early part of Houlliers reign, but otherwise he's been cack.

Bit surprised by Guzan's departure, thought he had a future at Villa.

He's far too good to be a second choice, in my opinion.


I'm more interested to see what happens with Jean Makoun.

That's it Lerner and Faulkner.....reduce the ''small'' squad even more, as PF says: ''there's no hurry to appoint a new Manager'' Fantastic planning from our board of imbeciles - that's it, make sure the season-ticket sales are even more sluggish! Bungling, inept fucking idiots!!!

I just wish we could release another 8  deadwood players at least .

I'm not sure we've got many more than 8 players left.

So you'd prefer the club to have offered Heskey, Cuellar and Guzan new contracts then?

It's been 9 days since AM left.

And exactly how many ST do you think we'd sell on the back of giving any of the players released a new contract?

I can just see the headline now "Following the news that Brad Guzan has signed a new 3 year deal, there is chaos at the ticket office as thousands queue for season tickets".

That really is the finest example of moaning just for the sake of it.

Heskey was no loss, but the other two..best centre half and a 'keeper who was extremely unlucky to lose his place.No guarantee we'll even be able to replace them with players of a similar standard or even replace them at all. Certainly we won't be spending anything like what we did on Carlos

So you have every confidence in our Board (god knows what's happened to the General) to get it right despite the last two years of slapstick comedy?
