it's the age old adage - you can't polish a turd. And now he's (hopefully) Reading's turd.

Again I have to disagree a bit.  Anywhere in midfield - agree he's not good enough.  At right back , however, I think there is something to work with and he'd be more than good enough for the Championship in that position.

Sooner we sell him, more chance we get another player in.

Amavi going wont have generated any transfer budget, unless we can do a similar 'buy now and maybe pay in 12 months if he isn't shit' deal ourselves.

Elphick, Bacuna and Gardner would all command fees, albeit small ones. If we get shot of 2-3 of them it might see anpther player coming in, and by my reckoning we are a target man, left winger and left back back-up off an automatic promotion.

Those, and a coherent tactical plan.

If that's his reckoning I'm glad he's not my accountant

Yes but the only way that's happening is if Bruce gets sacked, and that would mean we had already blown promotion again. I am hoping that the team will be effective despite him.

Bacuna. Fuck right off.

Simply not good enough at Premier League or Champonship level. Some give him credit for having energy around the pitch but if he's useless on the ball, very much one footed, can't pass to a team mate, gives away possession cheaply, doesn't create anything and gives away unnecessary fouls then he's no good to us.

He made so many mistakes yesterday it was getting ridiculous and it was a relief to see him pulled off almost immediately after a shanked effort that flew over the bar. Hope he gets his wish and a move to another club as I dont want to see him in a Villa shirt again.

Bacuna isnt a scape goat...he's just shit.

You could replace hims name with Hutton in the bold bit without changing anything else so why doesn't he get the same treatment?
You are right, but the Hutton thread isn't near the top of the forum at the moment and he actually had a reasonable game yesterday as opposed to Bacuna. I'd be much happier if we can get rid of both Bacuna and Hutton, but we need cover at right back so getting rid of Bacuna and keeping Hutton would be my choice between the 2 players.

Ok, I'll wait for you to tell Hutton to fuck right off next time he has a bad game then.

Matt Lowton looks like a pretty good player judging from MOTD.
