Aston Villa v Norwich City Post-Match Thread

What would be our ideal midfield targets in January ?

[Clampy]

In preseason the midfield of kea, Holman, Ireland and bannan looked to be decent

Absolute myth. Did you not go to Forest ?

Did you not see the Newcastle and Swansea games?

As is said Ireland and bannan are both hit and miss ,on form they look the part but are inconsistent.

Swansea - but for Guzan and poor finishing we could easily have been 2 or 3 down before Lowtons goal.

nearly 24 hours after the game and usually you would feel a bit more positive about things - today there is only 2 things Guzan and Benteke

i genuinely cant see where our next 3 points are coming from, is this what Derby and Sunderland fans felt like in their awful seasons?

Some folk really are hard to please.

What would be our ideal midfield targets in January ?

Michael Essien who is on a seasons loan at Real Madrid. Im not sure if Chelsea can sell him before then but he should be (at 29) the type of player we must be looking at

You think a player that's on loan to Real Madrid, and who still has a few years at the top level left in him, would even consider joining a team at the arse end of the table?

He'll be looking to join a top team to continue playing in the CL, not joining a team that look like they're playing while blindfolded.

In the games they've both started, we won our only league game and drew up at Newcastle. They started the Southampton game and we were winning until Ireland went off at half time and Bannan was subbed during the 2nd half.

There was obviously something there if we picked up 4 points out of 6 with them both playing. Bearing in mind we've only picked up another 2 points since then, it might be worth trying again.

I'm just saying don't let those two games paper over the cracks. This is probably the worst villa midfield for three decades.

Money mate! If you offer them enough they will come whether is Aston Villa or Accrington Stanley.

Agree with though .At the moment its the blind leading the blind. Perhaps we ought to sign Stevie Wonder!

We have to be realistic and we do not know who will be available yet.
Also we have the wages to take into consideration and that could be our biggest problem.
January will be interesting and our future in the Premier League will depend on it i think.
I even had a Baggies fan taking the piss yesterday and the Mrs had to calm me down and stop me showing him the error of his piss taking ways.
Lerner has to open his wallet and realise the importance of us being in the Prem, from even just a buisness point of view. What would he do if we were to be relegated ?
It cannot be allowed to happen, never. If it does then i can us staying down for a long, long time and this great club becoming the laughing stock of Midlands football and that cannot ever happen, couldn't cope with that.

[silhillvilla]

Lerner opening his wallet is one thing. Attracting decent players will be the issue. That's if any are even available in January. Then if you get them, they have to hit the ground running. No time for bedding in.

[JUAN PABLO]

Who played that long hopefull ball to the forward when we had a good chance to break away? It was just before they scored. Annoyed me that did.

Marc . annoyed me too

It just proves the folly of Lerner's policy of selling your top players and replacing them with cheap lower league crap. The man really hasn't got a clue about PL football.
