SV Rodinghausen vs Aston Villa, Mega Thread

[paulcomben]

Fluid 4-5-1 to 4-3-3 to remain the standard formation?

Guzan - Herd, Vlaar, Baker, Bennett - Sylla, Delph, Bacuna - Albrighton, Bowery, Tonev ?

[JUAN PABLO]

so which Villa team would win then .first half v second half

[eamonn]

Is that the full squad that's been taken? Bannan and Stephens can presumably be consigned to the scrap-heap alongside the senior money-suckers and Little Ears then.

[David_Nab]

When you look at both teams I'd hazard a guess together they cost less than £30mil

According to the official commentary wotsit, Carruthers is on the bench.  Presumably with a few more yoof players

Those line-ups don't look that bad, it does highlight the obvious needs that we have though.

[supertom]

Is Siegrist with the group? Wondered whether he'll also get some game time in the tour to see how he does. It is interesting to see that Steers being worked in from the off. It would seem that Lambo may be ready to have him as number 2.

Yep, it was discussed a while back too that Bannan and Fonz are both raking in at least a million a year. It's definitely time for them to move on for the next contingent of youngsters.
