Monty Python did a Philosophers' Football Match with Socrtaes Nietzsche Marx Archmiedas  now that was very funny. I also think they signing these players would bring a wealth of good experience and creativity to villa

Didn't Karl Marx claim the Greek Phil's goal was off-side?

He did but Socrates was clearly onside.

Any body think that Belhanda still might end up at Villa.? Lots of rumours going around.

I think Barry would be perfect for us - just what we need.  We surely cannot rely on youth alone again this season?

I can't decide, I can see how he'd fit the system we play and I think he'd be excellent so I understand the link, I also think the money for the fee and wages is fine, but I think Bacuna is a similar player so I'm not sure anymore.  I hope so though, I think he'd be an exciting player to fill the role we tried to give to nzogbia.

Although I can't see it happening, I personally think Barry would be a great signing for us if the money was right.  I think some of the comments about his loss of mobility and speed are a touch on the harsh side, and that his composure and quality on the ball are certainly things we could do with.

Barry is still a very good player. However, I can't see him coming into our midfield without displacing Westwood and for that reason I'm out. I also don't see Lambert going for him.

This is true but surely Lambert is bright enough to realise we need a proper leader in the middle of park - usually they are very experienced.

But PL wants the team to grow and gain experience together. We still have experienced players. Gabby-Vlaar-Nzogbia-Guzan-Bent-Ireland .......
