No new contract offer yet from Aston Villa, says Carlos Cuellar

[Doorbell]

I'm hoping he and Clarke are our main central defending pair next season, I'd be happy to see the back of Collins and dunne, I reckon the dressing room would be a happier place.

[olaftab]

So that's me and him than. I haven't had any contract offers from the Villa either!

[Legion]

I also hope he stays.

[Villanation]

Its one of those 6 of one half a dozen of the other things, for me we start letting players like Cuellor walk and for nothing maybe, and then we are happy to go through another season with Dunne and Collins in the back 4 simply says it all, we are batting for Premiership survival yet again, assuming we are going to survive this time around.

Fact is Dunne Collins and Cuellor really should all be moved on, the Villa back 4 isn't good and its a decent bet that next season they would be that much worse.

We have to start looking for a decent RB, 2 CB's a LB and backup, then we can start on the midfield.

Reminds me of Mellberg in that he would be of those players we let go but should have kept.

I thought it was a case of Mellberg wanted to go and play for Juventus rather than we let him go.

I thought it was a case of Mellberg wanted to go and play for Juventus rather than we let him go.

Once he got into his last year it was too late. Upto august 2007 he was saying as soon as he saw the contract offer he'd probably sign. We never made him a contract offer and by the autumn he'd asked for talks to be put on hold probably due to him being plonked in at right back to make way for the stella talent that was Knight. To be fair when you've got 80m burning a hole in your pocket, you're probably not that worried about losing a transfer fee, but it still remains the case that if we'd wanted to keep him it should have been settled way before January 2008 when he signed for Juventus and probably a good year before would have been sensible
