Carlos Cuellar

He's a decent stopper, but no more than that.  His first touch and distribution are poor and, like Dunne, he makes too many mistakes.  He's a fans favourite, because he gives his all when he plays and doesn't cause trouble off the field.  Wouldn't be difficult to replace.  Likeability 10/10.  Playing ability 6/10.

Pretty much what I feel about him.

One of those players that seems to get better the less he plays.

I don't want to start the same old arguments again, but after the money spent on Carlos, Davies, Knight, Dunne, Collins, Warnock, Shorey and Young, you'd think that we'd have at least the semblance of a decent defence.

Absolutely.  None of them were exactly bargain basement buys by Mr. O'Neill and exactly the kind of purchases that lie at the heart of the problems we face on and off the field today.

  If hes on about 30k per week, then i would rather release him , amongst others, to go for players like this Douglas.

  Baker looks a real find to me, and we need to give him more games.Hes quick, good on the turn, and good in the air, and what i like about him in partic is he always tries to pass the ball to a Villa player rather than hoof it out.He also plays quite well with Collins.

 We need to play Clark in his position, which is central defence, and have a look at him, or move him on.Not quick enough to play in central midfield, but, again, tries to play the ball out.The kind of defender good teams need.

 So for me , i would have 4 C/Hs for next season, Baker, Clark, Collins + 1 other.If you get desperate, you could play Herd there as well.So that means Dunne and Carlos gone.........sorry.

Pretty sure the stats will show that whenever he's played this season we've shipped less goals than when he hasn't.

As has been the case in the previous seasons.

[James]

I think Carlos is on around £40k/week?

@Cuellar24 Very happy because, after my last match at Villa Park, the team will stay one more year where it has to be. Thank you all for your support both in the good and the bad moments through all these years!

Goodbye King Carlos, you will be sorrowly missed.

Nice bloke, average player. Although if Valencia do well in the Champions League, I expect he'll be remembered in these parts like Paul McGrath.

We're amazing in that in two consecutive years, only a short while ago, we bought two entire defences, and look at the state of what we have now.

As posted in the pre-match thread, it was clear from his reaction after the game that he was saying ta-ra.

[Dante Lavelli]

Sad day.  I like Carlos.
As a club we do not look after our assets very wisely do we.
