With Elphick gone and Chester seriously injured, Cahill could still do a job in the squad as long as his wages were realistic. Mings, Hause, Axel and Cahill would be a very decent set of CBs to get us through the season (if we can sign them!).

I'd happily have Cahill for a season. With bolstering needed in so many positions, we can't afford to outlay big fees for more than one CB. Cahill and Mings together would be smart business.

Chester said something like, I will give it a go next season and see how it is, regarding how chronic the injury is.

No to Cahill, it’s no longer the philosophy of the Football club to buy old players with absolutely no sell on, on huge wages.

Apologies. I must have misread that article that said he was out of the playoff final squad due to his knee injury. Pretty sure it said that he may never fully recover and will have to be managed. I obviously hope he can make a full recovery, returns to full fitness and can play for us again.

The odd one or two I wouldn't mind, some Premier League experience, maybe even international experience, could be invaluable, but definitely not more than one or two.

No he isn't, he doesn't even know if he'll be ready for next season.

The break over the summer will hopefully do me well and I can come back and give it a go next season.

I stand corrected. I thought he was back in training but just not match fit. Makes me want to stay fuck off Bruce yet again. Instead of bringing in an injured Bolasie for £72k a week we could have signed another CB.

Absolutely, and the same goes for Benteke, this is not how we do it anymore.

If we do sign him, as looks likely, then I'll be pleased we're getting stuff done early.  It used to drive me mad under O'Neill that we used to leave it so late.

Fuck wasn't that the worst. Everything was the very last minute with MON.

Whelan deserved another 1 year extension. You need some experience as a back up particularly as the Premier League is a big step up in class. Would really like to see Cahill signed - he now has vast experience of this league. A two-year deal on the right wages would make sense.
Villa need to be careful cutting the squad so quickly before replacements are signed. A lesson is Steve Bruce's cutting the defence last August before securing replacement defenders. Look where that ended up!
