Why would be resign a midfielder who cannot pass and we wasted 13 odd million in wages and fees first time around

What about Makoun and that lazy bastard at left back as central midfield pair, one can tackle and other one pass

I do think that the team would benefit from playing Warnock in central midfield at the moment, he looked OK there last season. Better option than any of Bannan/ Delph/ Holman/ Herd.

I could see a 3 of Bannan, Westwood, and Lard Arse II being quite effective.

I've decided. NRC is not the answer. Next

He needs a couple of wise owl grizzlers to allay  the inexperience of the youngsters. If he does not see that then we are doomed through the enthusiasm of youth.

If Vlaar can stay fit and Dunne doesn't have a set back 1 would be enough, a commanding centre mid to set the tempo for us.  Then we'll have a bt of cash to use on a younger defensive midfielder to fill out the squad and a young attacking midfielder with a bit of class about them.

Can we risk Vlaar or dunne being fit though- neither have good records regarding injuries .

we're only allowed 25 players (over 21) in the squad, signing someone just in case we have another injury crisis isn't an option really.

I apologise Dave but certain fans are verging on enjoying our plight. Pulling our manager to pieces isn't the answer.
Yes, I'm really enjoying the predicament we're in, you twat.

NRC is a classic example of just what we are trying to get rid of - overpaid, disinterested, aging players with  over inflated opinions of what they are worth - thanks to the blood sucking agents who are taking money out of the game in evergrowing volumes - this money should be going to the grass roots  at schools and junior football ... as you may have guessed it makes my p*** boil.

 

We got rid of too many of those players and replaces them with too many kids. That's why we find ourselves in this shitefest.

I'm still convinced that if we'd played NRC more in the during the end of season run in 2009 we'd have qualified for the Champions League

I still owe Risso a 'twat'.

I'm going to save it for happier times, it will carry more weight.

They're ten a penny on here lately.

Hoppo they don't enjoy it.The people that you singled out have been spot about where Villa are at the moment.
Some people are too pig headed to give them some credit.

It's easy with the Villa though, if you just keep saying everything's shit, you're gonna be right half the time.

I expect stupidity from that brain donor Hoppo, but thought you had slightly more about you.  Ah well, wrong again!

I reckon that nothing like everything is shit with Villa at the moment, but the percentage which is pure, unadulterated turd is about 74%

I think our expectations have been dampened down to the point that when we sign a medicore loan player, we'll all be having a sex piss.

Hey.. I'm no twat I'm a fan concerned as most just feel it would be better to put energy into getting behind them. As for brain donor. I have never heard anyone who belittles everything Aston Villa. Put your efforts into ideas how to get out this mess not abusing everything.
