one or two of our plethora of right backs needs to go. I'd keep Bree as i honestly think he has talent.

Hutton left with Taylor as cover, Bree on the right.

Elmo to be right wing with Snoddy going.

Yep, if Elmohamady is going to be used primarily as a winger next season and it means we won't have to bring one in, I think we could probably keep De Laet, Bree, Hutton and Taylor as our full-back options (though Taylor will probably be a bit too costly to be a reserve). 

If Elmohamady is going to be used primarily as a winger next season then he will, effectively, be the replacement for Snodgrass, let that sink in for a moment.

If Bruce stays and we manage to keep hold of Grealish, then i think he will continue with the same formation we had since the start of the New Year.  If they are still here, I would like to see us try and bring in a striker and have Kodjia starting on the left of the three with Adomah on the right and Green and Elmohamady providing cover.  Lot of 'ifs' there!!

The only if that really concerns me is the one in "what if Adomah or Kodjia are injured elong term and Elmo has to play regularly".

With both Davies and RHM available i can't see us even thinking of bringing in another striker. Well unless we sell Kodjia and with his injuries i'd be amazed if anyone took that gamble this summer

Hogan, Kodjia, RHM and Davies should be ample really. And then we have Fat Toss to add to that if he's sorted himself out

Adomah is predominantly left footed, so why would you play him on the right?

Right footed.

[260475]

OK stand corrected. His right foot crosses from the left side weren't the best quality though. So maybe he was out of position.

Well i'm not begrudge him getting a new contract though why they announced earlier he wasn't getting one is bewildering. Where they that confident of going up and not wanting him?

There are a few other anomalies on that list. SB was quite clear that Hutton would be here next season if he had say on the matter.

New contract!

Bloody hell, clicking on that Twatter link doesn't half make me glad I stick to H&V for my Villa discussions.

[Gregorys Boy]

Before long Hutton will be signing on his tenth year at the club.  Sometimes its as if time has stood still

All the news, as it happens.
