8 players released

[TopDeck113]

Generally agree with the comments on Richardson.  Ultimately not being good enough is not deserving of the same level of vitriol as not giving a shit.  Unfortunately, though, both are synonymous of the players we've had to endure for too long.

If he didn't intentionally miss that chance in one of the last home matches, I can plait sawdust.

For me, he's as much as a wanker as the usual suspects

[Jimbo]

I regard him as walking proof of the need to incorporate psychological evaluation in the fitness tests of incoming players.  Every muscle, bone, ligament, sinew and corpuscle of them is examined in the most minute detail but nobody ever thinks to assess their brain.

This. Psychological, as well as general intelligence assessment should be standard practice. The amount of thick-as-whale-spunk players - and, to be fair, owners - we've had at Villa Park in recent years would win all of Britain's Village Idiot contests for the next thousand years.

For the worst five year stretch in our recent history, Charles can say "I was there".

He can say that, but he wasn't even really 'there' was he? The fancy panted, twat hatted oxygen burglar.

Tongue in cheek,the only thing i ever saw Richardson do of note at Villa Park,was score that cracking goal for Fulham which i am sure was probably the major factor along with him being a free transfer that tempted Lambert to sigh him

The header off the line in the cup semi final will be my highlight of Richardson's time at Villa

I don't think we needed a full psychological assessment to discover he's a mardy arse. We could've asked Sigmund Kinnear.

Wankpuffins - a fantastic frase. Well done Concrete Jon.

He came on and changed the game if I remember rightly. I thought at the time, I wouldn't mind signing him in a free...

[Jon Crofts]

I remember reading an interview with CNZ in The Guardian just after we signed him, in which he talked about his tough upbringing and how football saved him from a life of criminality and hardship. It painted a picture of a humble guy who was grateful for his gifts and determined to seize his big opportunity. What happened there then?

He discovered cuntery.

Absolutely right chaps. He was a game-changer that day and looked much better than anything we had to offer.

Sadly that game was his best at VP, including all the games he actually "played" for us.

“And each time he came in, he made it clear he did not want to be at the club so in the end, there was only one thing I could do – send him to Wigan!”

Great line that

Somebody summed it up earlier, he's a c**t

[robbo1874]

Who has made the decision to release these players I wonder? You'd think the new management would want to take a look at some of them e.g Kinsella and Donacien before sanctioning their release?

kinsella was never going to be good enough, never got near our shittest team in god knows how many years and ended up on loan at luton and kiddy

same as the goalkeeper whos name i cant spell

LK was quite good at tweeting though

[Des Little]

I'd release the whole first team squad. To pack of starving hyenas.
