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

Almost agree. Heskey I'd gladly have driven to the club of his choice; I liked Carlos but I think losing a big wage earner to make room for e.g Ciaran Clark makes sense; I was surprised to see on Wiki (I know) that baby Brad only played 19 games for us in 4 seasons, so again makes sense to let him go if he was on a decent whack. Is Marshall still here as 2nd keeper?

Bloody brilliant news that Heskey has now officially gone.

He was/is fucking useless. I can enjoy his spectacular fuckwittery now it will be in a shirt other than that of Aston Villa. Sunderland hopefully.

Maybe Guzan didn't want to spend a few more years of his career sitting on the bench apart from the occasional cup game? Sometimes the decision isn't the clubs to make. But hey, lets slate them anyway.

414 - Heskey is 1 of 22 players to score 100+ PL goals, but only Scholes (436) and Giggs (534) took more games to reach this milestone. Free.

Nice fact re-tweeted to me by my eldest son!

Can't complain at any of the departures.

Guzan is a capable back up but he's nowhere near as good as Given, the Cuellar exit has been on the cards for some time and good as he could be, he was never THAT good.
Heskey leaving should help the season tickets sales a bit too.

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


its certainly prem league thats for sure

No chance. True top-class moaning would include 'laughing stock' and 'how low have we fallen that...'

Ok, everything at Villa Park is rosy - nothing to moan about. Wonderful playing squad, great manager appointments over the last two years, top-six finishes, goals, points galore you name it - no wonder there's a great rush for season-tickets. I'd better renew quickly or I might miss out on such entertainment.

Ebby Nelson Addy, Connor Taylor, Charlie Ward, Reece Caira, Richard Bryan, Matthew Coton, Darious Darkin and Seb Jenkins have also been released from the academy.

This a sad time for these kids. Final realisation that they are not going to make it.

Villa's Academy has the best record of players released getting other clubs. It's like an Oxbriidge degree - there's a chance elsewhere for them all.

Grant Wahl (an American journalist) just tweeted this:

 "Aston Villa releases Brad Guzan" a misleading headline. He's a free agent now that his contract has expired. (Villa offered him one.)

Out of all of them more disappointed about Reece Caira we waited ages for him to get here then its just been frustrating waiting for him to perform at the required level. I hope Ebby does well at a decent level.

Well if Guzan is no longer with us then we need a new keeper to cover Given and his injuries...Craig Gordon from Sunderland is available and would be a great signing as reserve keeper.
