I think that the standard of players is very different to what we are used to and this may shock people but I believe without any signings we have the players to finish top 8 ....... obviously we need more strength but I would throw the following team to be shot down ......
Bunn
Hutton Clark Baker Bennett
Green Gardner Westwood Amarvi
Grealish Gestede
Thats getting rid of all the foreigners bar the one and playing him further forward
I guess the point is we don't need a vast spend to reach top six just the right players and manager

I am sorry but you cannot play Clark and Baker in the same side. Neither of them can play right side of defence.

Why would we want to get rid of all the "foreigners"?
PS Gestede is a "foreigner " as well.
-
Amavi will be one of the definite leavers imo

Amavi... and you could say Clark could be considered "a foreigner" .
-

Can't see anyone taking a punt on Amavi until he has proved himself again...it was a very bad injury that he suffered. We'll get one more season at least out of
him in my opinion.
-
In my view Clark & Baker would be fine at Championship level ....... Toner also but don't know enough about him yet
The foreigners are the obvious ones plus some fat garbage at the club
I can't see anyone taking Amavi until January when he proves fitness and form
My overall point is with 3-4 players we have a team that would easily compete ....... just look at Small Heath ...they were not a million miles from the play offs and even we beat them lol

What is it with Hutton. He is fockin SHIT
-
9 players with a losing mentality, no leaders, no pace, 1 horrendously injury prone player and an untried kid.

the lulus were 11 points off the play offs and 27 off automatic, so in reality they were miles off
-
After watching the burnley - qpr last game of the season I thought to myself if that is the standard required to get automatic promotion then we have a superb chance to come back up

That side would be closer to the bottom of the second tier next term than top
Bunn - pub player, second choice at the absolute best and I'd prefer to give Steer a chance as back up
Both full backs are hopeless, one is afraid of his shadow and the other has no footballing ability
Two left sided centre halves
Physically weak and slow centre midfielders
No pace up top
Amavi and Gestede wouldn't pass the EDL foreigner test

That side would struggle to win league 2. Reaching the top six doesn't get promotion either, unless you're lucky in the play offs. We need a solid spine, we don't have one currently.

Those 'foreigners' make up our most talented players for the most part, so getting rid of them would be fucking mental.

Thats a very sorry line up. I would think we'd struggle to survive, let alone get promoted with that team.
-

Yep that team would be battling relegation or at best mid table with no challenge for play offs.

What is it with Hutton. He is fockin SHIT
I totally agree mate. People seem to think he puts a shift in but I never see it. Loads if errors as well. Think he's got the prem record now for consecutive games without a win. Something like 30
-
I like Hutton. He's okay, not brilliant, defensively and dangerous going forward.
If we were a much better team, he'd be a squad player at best. We're not though. He's one of our better players and there are far higher priorities than replacing him.

sorrybi disagree and file under, flatters to deceive.
-
Hutton, for all his effort going forward, delivers next to nothing.
Defensively, whilst not alone, he's a total liability.

The only danger he causes is to our own defence as he saunters back.
-
Jeez, a back four of Hutton, Baker, Clark and Bennett, with Bunn in goal? There would be a weekly competition to see who could make the biggest defensive howler. I could just about stomach Clark with the right players around him, but the rest of them - not good enough and never will be.
-
Bennett will be ok to be back up. Hutton will probably play as will Clark. Need a right footed centre half and leader. And a bloody keeper!
-
Would not be surprised to see Jed Steer as our keeper next season.He is our player and has been on loan at Huddersfield so has Championship experience
-
How about we keep "the foreigners" and ditch the home nations dross instead?
-
Another line up that overlooks Adama. I think you underestimate the Championship. A tough league where teams fight hard and don't give in. That line up will see us in League one. Most of them need to go as they have a losing mentality.
-
I think Bunn is a back up keeper at best even in that division.
The likes of Hutton, Clark, Westwood, Sinclair and Gestede will probably do okay at that level but it depends what your expectations are - Baker, Steer, Bennett and Gardner all played in the Championship this season but all were operating in the bottom half of the league or in Bennett's case not playing at all!
Grealish could be a big player for us next season and I think the likes of Gil and Traore are worth trying to hold on to.
Lyden, Toner, Green and Hepburn-Murphy will all be involved but are at this moment unproven
Apart from that we need to get rid of the rest (Gabby, Lescott, Richards, Sanchez, Guzan) and expect the rest will want to go (Ayew, Gana, Veretout, Amavi)
In short there is a lot of work to do if we want to come straight back up!
-
We need some experience in there. Players that have played at that level before, and know how to get out of it.
Players like Newcastle had when they last went down. Barton, Kevin Nolan, Wayne Routledge, Alan Smith, Guthrie.
Not world beaters, but just know-how and a bit of leadership.
-
I go further. There's a lot of work to do just to survive in the Championsip.
-

Ditch the Villa fans. Richards, Agbonlahor, Lescott & Grealish.
-
I don't think the players who we think are championship quality are actually that good.
How can you improve a players concentration and ability not to keep making fuck-ups, regardless of the division it'll keep happening.
All of a sudden Baker won't stop making mistakes and being reckless.
We've just got to hope that the opposition strikers aren't as clinical in the lower league.
-
Would not be surprised to see Jed Steer as our keeper next season.He is our player and has been on loan at Huddersfield so has Championship experience
My Huddersfield mates have been unenthusiastic, they say he's 'done ok'.

'Done ok' sounds bloody brilliant after this season.

and is very slow at getting back when we lose the ball, he doesn't exactly bust a gut to get back

Go get Joe Lolley from Huddersfield. Redditch born, lifelong Villa fan and very promising young player to boot. Tore it up with Kidderminster for half a season before they sold him to the Terriers for a deal potentially worth £1.5 million. Had some injuries in his first season, and Chris Powell had him warming the bench a lot of the time, but the new Huddersfield Manager gave him an extended run in the side this season and he prospered. The Terriers fans love him and call him their little Messi. Creates and can score a goal too. I know the Lolley family and Joe would walk over broken glass to come to the Villa. Still watches them from the Holte when he gets the odd chance.
-
I'm not sure I want us to sign any more Villa fans!

Yep. The signing of Steve Sims when we were last in the second tier springs to mind. A couple of players who can organise and be leaders.
-

I would just rather the team be filled with good players.

Yep, he never busts a gut to get back in position, just a gentle jog and then usually fails to pick up the man anyway. Quite why Hutton gets exonerated by some because "at least he tries" is beyond me because he clearly doesn't, and he is technically abysmal too.

Do they still hand out yellow and red cards over there? Maybe he's serving a really long suspension if he hasn't posted in a long time?

Judging by the stats posted on here recently, a good deal of his championship experience involved picking the ball out of his net.

Can you give the racism a rest, or even better, fuck off until you've grown enough brain cells to work out what acceptable behaviour is.

Or maybe they thought it was unacceptable. Either way, one more and you're gone.

In isolation maybe, but on the back of 4 or 5 other examples such as "I really didn't know chinky wasn't acceptable", and some pretty low views on mental health in the celeb death watch thread, excuse me for thinking the worst.

Anyone who had a brain wouldn't have gone there.

Would dodge French players for the championship. French footballers tend to be technical players where in the league we are falling into it is grit, a little bit of stud and the ability to mix it.

All qualities that the likes of Agbonlahor, Lescott and Richards have in abundance.
