So, is this still sounding like such a bad idea to everyone now?
Yes, still an awful suggestion.

yes, terrible. may as well, ask Shaun Teale, Paul McGrath or Olof Mellberg as they were all better defenders...

I'm not sure about that.  Shaun Teale better than Martin Laursen?  I loved Teale but I think Laursen was a far better player and if it wasn't for his injury problems he would have been one of the best defenders in the game.  Laursen came from A.C  Milan, Teale came from Bournemouth (I think).

It shows how much Laursen is loved at the Villa by the fact the poll options are yes and maybe....... :)

There is no fun in coming up with ridiculously bad ideas for humourous effect any more. The bar has now been set way to high.

It's still a bad idea.  Not as bad an idea as appointing McLeish though, I will concede!
