Am I the only one who reads the thread title is a Geordie accent?
I'm still mystified as to why so many people want Gabby to be dumped. Even if he wasn't a Villa fan, don't others think he's a decent option to have in the squad?
I don't see the point in dumping many of the younger mob. If we can find homes for Ireland, Dunne, Given, Bent and possibly Albi (who might benefit from a season on loan elsewhere), we've created enough room for improvement/investment without upsetting what is becoming a fairly solid group of youngsters. Add some steel and experience by cutting out the deadwood and we'll have a decent mid table squad next season, a platform from which to build. Don't forget that the new tv deal starts next year which might convince Uncle Randy to let the moths see the daylight.Shit I forgot Hutton!! An easy mistake, he is immensely forgettable.
I was thinking more of the bloke from Big Brother. Not that I watch it. Okay I did years ago but i'm better now.
I'd like to keep Makoun though. He might settle in better now there's a couple of French speaking players in the club. There's a good player in there somewhere as well.
Would we need a back up GK? I know Siegrest is very highly rated and Marshall has experience if necessary
