Are We Alex McLeish's Claret & Blue Army Now?

[The Laughing Policeman]

I'm mortified that DazzyG is no longer with us, a bright spot on an otherwise dull day, guaranteed to put a 'what the f**k' smile/frown on your face.
RIP

Agreed.  I shall miss him.

I'm sure there'll be another one along in a minute.

I thought the transfer window was closed.
Could dazzy be given an ASBO and be allowed back?

I concur - this thread is no fun without being told I'm not a proper fan and don't care about the club!

[Legion]

You're not a proper fan and you don't care about the club.

[Concrete John]

See - I'm having more fun already!

[Dave Clark Five]

I was thinking of moving to Wales so I could be called a Welsh something or other or go up North so I could be called a thick Northerner.
I really regret my harrassment of dazzyg and plead for a reprieve to be given.

He's brought Hutton who is shocking he's also brought Given & N'zogbia, I think most of us would have gone for Given & N'zogbia so it's hard to judge him on transfers, Mon brought some shit as we all know but looking at what he brought for them I am worried what would happen if he had money to spend.

Is he good for us? I don't know, Not for me personally

His transfers have definately been hit and miss so far.  I'd agree on your above evaluation of them and add that we've also had two loans, one of which looks a great deal and the other not so much (injury aside, I never rated Jenas!).

But then you need to balance that with the lack of money he had to spend, so I don't see extra funds as a problem, but hopefully the solution.

I think N'zogbia has showed at his past clubs that he has the talent to come good eventually,Given has been a good signing,as for Hutton,he seemed average at best and has proven me wrong in that he's been poor. Really hope both full backs are replaced come the summer.

He's not going to spend £4m on a full back and replace him. He's more likely to stick with him

I went out on a limb on Wednesday night by saying I've got a feeling Hutton's actually going to turn out to be a good player for us.

I also thought about the noticable thing about Keane and very briefly Jenas when they've played is how much technically better they are than the players we have at the club, and by that I mean the quality of their movement and touch. Ireland is in this class too, but was a write off until very recently, but I think it's clearly something McLeish identified early on and until Ireland woke up it was hindering what was trying to get us to do.

Some of the football we've played in parts in the last couple of months has been as encouraging as I've seen for a long time, in terms of style, and I also believe playing the way we do will suit the younger players coming into the side. If we can cut out the schoolboy errors then we'd be a force, because we will hurt teams.

All things considered, I think McLeish is doing a better job than I expected him to.

Agree with all of that, Lee. McCleish knows he has to raise the bar at Villa and with Sid, Kevin Mac and a group of young players that know how to play the right way, I think there is a decent chance he can drag us into the 21st century. I don't think he'sanybody's fool and he certainly understands the importance of good, winning performances at Villa Park. If he can achieve that he'll soon have the Villa fans on his side. We as a club really need to finish the season on a high not only regarding season ticket renewals but also transfer money for the summer. It's a huge responsibility on McLeish but if he can manage it I won't be complaining.

I thought Hutton interchanged pretty well with the likes of Ireland and Keane when attacking in the second half on Wednesday.

His job was made a lot easier by Carlos who was tidying up on the right side.

I would like to see dazzyg reinstated. He was and stil is a complete ringpiece. But he was ours, and we could poke fun at him all day without him realising. He'd just keep coming back for more.

I agree with tv.  It comes to something when the topic of conversation at the dinner table (kitchen in this case, it was midweek after all) was lamenting the demise of dazzyg.

[not3bad]

I think anybody who doesn't want to reinstate dazzyg is not a proper fan and doesn't care about the club.

[Dave Cooper please]

I did turn up to the dazzyg out protest but no one was there so I went home.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Is it just coincidence dazzy g and Chris Smith both disappear on the same day?

To lose one loon may be considered unfortunate..

[Dave Clark Five]

He used to be shite,
But now he's alright,
Walking in a dazzy wonderland.
