• The most logical suggestion there is to have Given on the bench and Steer out on loan getting some games.

• I have given up my season ticket for family reasons.
  
  However, if Milner signs, somehow I will work out a season ticket.
  
  If that isnt reason enough to get him in, strike me down

  Mat Kendrick comment: Rio Ferdinand deal was a non-starter
  
  Aston Villa comment: Mat Kendrick says Rio Ferdinand move was always a non-starter
  
  Jun 06, 2014 12:19  By Mat Kendrick
  
   To borrow a phrase from Rio Ferdinand’s old pranks programme, the veteran defender wasn’t ‘merked’ by Aston Villa .
  
  It has emerged that Villa genuinely made a tentative enquiry about Ferdinand’s future plans before turning their attentions to Philippe Senderos.
  
  Ferdinand to Villa?
  
  Admirable ambition, because the former England defender still has plenty to offer either in the Premier League or wherever else he decides to finish his career.
  
  But that transfer was surely the biggest ‘non-starter’ since...erm...Alan Hutton.
  
  In fact it was the biggest ‘non-starter’ since I grudgingly dined out and settled for just a main course and a dessert.
  
  Villa are not in a position to give the £100,000-plus-per-week 35-year-old his last big pay day at a time when the club is up for sale and the future is so uncertain.
  
  And although stranger things have happened – Ferdinand’s former Old Trafford team-mate Roy Keane being lined up for a coaching role for a start – the ex West Ham, Leeds and Manchester United centre-half will attract more lucrative and glamorous offers from over here or overseas.
  
  Hence Villa signing Senderos instead.

• £100,000 a week, I'm glad it was a non-starter.

  I can't believe someone who hasn't been worried for one second in the last 2 seasons about us going down can be scared at the prospect of something as straightforward as getting married.
  
  Congratulations!!

  Not to mention he's half the player of 2 seasons ago and a complete and utter knob.

• What if Barry does come back and is off the pitch when we get a penalty, what happens then?

  We'll have a special dispensation from the FA to bring him (back) on to take it.

  Yes, good luck. Although I'm surprised she didn't dump you after your disastrous reign as our manager. No home wins ffs.
