If I recall correctly, Everton battered us the other week. Sometimes things just dont go for you. I'm sure they will improve. Starting with a win over the Heathens next week.

If we had their midfield we'd finish in the top four.

If we had one or two of their midfield maybe. If their midfield as a whole was that good they wouldn't be in the shit. Or have horrendous runs every season.

There's nothing wrong with their midfield, far from it.

His problem is his inability to spot a striker, and his attachment to Phil Neville at right back.

Really is strange, though, they're a more than decent side, they played us off the park the other week, but they're struggling for points in the early part of the season again.

Rodwell and Arteta (and I think Ireland is as good as he is) and that's all I'd bother with.

Instead of who? Ashley Young? Stephen Ireland? I think he's a (aerial) goal threat but provides little else.
To add squad depth, sure. But he wouldn't improve our starting XI.

Also, I think he's an odeous twat.

No. A big dirty elbowing bastard and a joke at £15m. Dont rate him at all.

Hetinga is a player I'd take from Everton.

Tough player, can play right back, centre back and holding midfield.

Re. Ireland, I think you ( and me) are the only Villa fans to be excited at seing him in a Villa shirt.

Most seem more  obsessed with his cars and house.

Personally, I think he'd be exactly what we need in our midfield right now!

Giving fouls away constantly and putting us under pressure?
We need a physical midfielder, just not that clown.

He ran the game against us. 

He has height and power, which we lack in midfield - when was the last time one of our midfielders won a header?  He's also good on the ball and can spot a simple pass to set up an attack.

Yes, he's all elbows and gives away fouls, but what was Gezza saying last week about us being too nice?

I rate him and think he'd greatly improve us!
