Well, we'll see how fantastic Cuellar is when he signs for his next club won't we? Reckon it'll be a bigger club than Villa? Or more likely somewhere like Hibs or Union Berlin.

You're going to look pretty stupid if it's Valencia as has been rumoured.

It looks like he'll be joining Champions League regulars Valencia.

This looks like one of those "comes back and bites you in the arse" posts, Dave.

I bet Cuellar will end up at a bigger team than the latest "gets better the less he plays" player, ie Makoun.

I agree.

With a new manager Makoun will probably end up at Villa.

I think with Carlos the truth as ever is in the middle. People like him as he is a trier and comes across as a nice guy. He isn't a brilliant player but Dunne and Collins have been absolute garbage the past two seasons and that is why he gets better for not playing. Because, the two players ahead of him are largely not very good and lack the positive attributes of his character.

I wish him well in the rest of his career.

Oh!
Well we'll see how often he starts for them then.
Look, I like the bloke but in all his time here I haven't seen the fantastic defender that some people on this thread are making him out to be.

I wouldn't go as far as "fantastic". I would go with "better than Dunne, Collins, Knight or Davies" though.

Rubbish, Cuellar is the best centre back at the club, end of.

(Assuming Cuellar goes) I'd keep Dunne and get rid of Collins.

I'd rather keep Collins and get rid of Dunne. No matter how well Dunne plays, he's only ever 30 seconds away from dropping a bollock of hitherto unseen proportions.

The number of penalties he gives away, the number of own goals (more than any other PL player, ever), the number of red cards (again, more than any other PL player), he's either the world's unluckiest player or just a dopey bastard.

I used to agree and think we should get rid of Dunne and keep Collins. However, while Dunne has had no mishap off-the-field since last season, Collins has. I think players are entitled to make a mistake but to get caught out acting like a prick twice is not good enough.

That said, I could live with us getting rid of both of them.

Probably the best form of Dunne's career was alongside Distin at Citeh. If we could get a pacy centre half to do the legwork alongside him, then maybe he's got enough in the tank for another year.  Providing he doesn't come back of his hols like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man again.

sorry to see him leave, however I must say I can't wait to see who the better, cheaper replacement is.

No, actually he was spot on and ending a post with "end of" should be punishable by the banhammer.

Best centre half at the club, but can't pass! Always looked like he enjoyed being here, gave 100%, never in any trouble. Hopefully we will replace him with someone of a similar temperament.

Not a left back or a right back although has put a shift in when asked but indeed the best centre back at the club.
