We've never replaced Andy Townsend.

Or Dennis Mortimer.

Ashley Young was and is our best player, not Milner.

Speaking of Merson, I well remember him exclaiming "you don't replace Geoge Boateng with Mark Kinsella!".

As a boy, I rated Townsend and Macca equally. They were my heroes and I was gutted when Townsend left us. Obviously with age I realise McGrath was world class while Townsend was a good PL standard midfielder.

As an aside I see Staunton is in the sky studio for the Ireland game tonight!

Merson was right. There were some terrible Villa signings in that 2001-2003 era.

Was that when Calderwood signed?

Calderwood was 1999....

I'm thinking Leonardsen, Kinsella, Johnson, Boulding, Bartlet etc

I hope he's in our shortlist. I really think we'd get three good years out of him.

Here's hoping the Macedonian 'keeper isn't anywhere near any such list!!
