We have to have a solid base as we havent for years. Id also see if we could get Bertrand on a season long loan from ChelseaWe would then have defense as followsGK - Guzan SteerRB - Richards LowtonLB - Bertrand BennettCB - Vlarr Lescott Okore Baker Can we not give Baker away to a newly promoted club, so that we are sure of at least 6 points next season, and keep Clark?This is way more sensible.

Yeah....after watching him in all of his home appearances at VP, i somehow doubt N'zogbia is the sort of person who is going to give it his all for Villa...

Fuck me..is there any good news ? Ok Albrighton might not be a world beater but he is an asset that is being given away..as for the purse strings might be tighter than the season just gone and it adds up to....disaster waiting to happen

A few people have suggested getting Micah Richards, and while I think he'd be a good signing on paper he's only played 9 league games in 2 years, and judging from what a lot of City fans are saying he hasn't been able to get over the injuries he suffered a few years back.That said, he is only 25 and you could argue that he just needs a run of 1st team games somewhere, but with our record with injuries is he worth the risk?
