As it is now seems to be more than idle gossip, made up ITK and/or speculation, might it be a good idea to start a dedicated thread about Senderos?

Do we have to? Can't we pretend it's not really happening and, like the last 2 seasons, it's all just a bad dream in a Dallas stylee?

I think Senderos is also a good pointer.

We haven't had one of them at the club since NRC and Zat. Although Vlaar makes the odd pointing effort, it has to be said.

Benteke is a good pointer to the heavens when he scores

Can't see Barton coming. Maybe if QPR hadn't been promoted

Twat. But would improve us purely in a footballing sense

I don't see the point in replacing not-very-good players with more not-very-good players.

Senderos is fucking rubbish. Let's be totally honest about it. I appreciate we're probably more disposed to find the positives in players, seeing as we're clearly heading for another summer window in Poundland, but really, these players we're discussing here are deeply, deeply underwhelming, even with our new Big Wigan status.

Agreed Senderos is utterly awful. Another BPL club has been mugged into giving him a contract.

Watched him for Fulham a few times last year and he was laughably bad, Bakeresque even.

Must mean the end of the line for Clark or Baker at Villa.



He's not utterly awful or fxxking rubbish is he though. He's played in the Champions League ( a lot) and for his country. Unless Baker has a grandfather from Gibraltar and moves to Celtic (he'd be good there) he ain't gonna do either. So it's an improvement.

Djimi Traore has a Champions League but was utter shite as is Senderos despite his appearances in the CL or for his country

Indeed, there are plenty of players who have played lots of CL matches and still manage to be rubbish.

I've renewed my season ticket. But if we bought Barton, it would go back.

Sod it, can't we just go all the way back to 1982 and pick things up again from there?

I'm ashamed to admit this but for some reason I quite like Joey Barton.

He's better than Baker, so that'll do I guess.

That's the thing with Barton, he's actually a good player.
Unfortunately it's the baggage that arrives with him

Barton gets wound up too easily. But as that seems to be the qualification du jour at Villa Park, he's a nailed-on signing.

If it keeps Baker and Clark further away from the first team, it's fine with me. I can't watch them any more.
