Quote from: "gregnash"Sounds to me that he's not hopeful of selling many of them and has decided to at least re-intigrate them into the squad. Certainly a change- from around the end of the season where he basicially said they weren't good enoughDid he actually say they were not good enough or that they had to try harder to get back in the team. Of course, forgetting and perceived favouritism the manager has for certain players.

Quote from: "old man villa fan"Quote from: "Dante Lavelli"Slightly off topic but MON's quotes are a bit weird. Purely speculation but he seems to be slightly removed from the action/negotiations with both the Milner and Young moves.There appears to be a bit of a change in his job description this year.Was thinking that myself. Whether Randy feels that the Milner saga would be taking MON's eye off preseason and therefore taken it on himself or whether it has always been like that and it was just the impression we had that MON handled everything.The General specifically said once that O'Neill had full control over transfers, without interference from anybody else. That doesn't seem to be the case anymore, which is probably a good thing.

Can anyone tell me what Salifou offers. Why is he picked ahead of these so called top quality youngsters we have, has he ever shown anything of worth?
