Growing on me like a rash. His interview on the FA site is interesting, if only for the last line, where he says he wants to win the cup and be back at Wembley for the charity shield. I think the longer he works with Tim, the more likely he is to sign on.

He'll have a few options at the of the season:

a. be a bit part player for one of the top 6 teams (if any of them come in for him).
b. be a regular player in any number of mid table teams.
c. continue what he's started with TS and be a key player for Villa.

His wage demands could be a stumbling block so hope he doesn't revert to type and turn too greedy.

Such a different player under Sherwood.Close to MOTM for me me yesterday always looking for ball and chases around pressurizing the opposition.

Seeing now Fergie rated him so highly

I love how he couldn't contain his joy at Delph's goal, he breaks off from the team to celebrate with the fans.

That's a really positive image, from a player we don't even own.

If you noticed it was both him and Delph ahead of Benteke in the box for the second goal and this was when Charles was still on the pitch.

Enjoyed watching his busy performance yesterday just as much as I enjoyed watching the guile of Grealish.

On the way back from Wembley fueled by alcohol last night we penned many songs for individual players.  Our best effort which was well received was for Tom Cleverley.

To the tune of Chim Chimmeney....

Tom Cleverley Tom Cleverley
Fucked off Man U
Now he's a bastard in Claret and Blue

Repeat

Short, easy to remember and a nice bit of swearing to add effect.

Might need to rework the tune, mind.

I'm sure he'd love being called a bastard. Probably more than he liked getting booed by The Holte when his name was read out during the warm-up mind.

I'm loving this real sense of positivity around the club right now. Two months ago we were probably looking at Vlaar leaving in the summer. Cleverley was heading away in the summer, probably never to return and Benteke looked like he wanted rescuing.
Now we've got Vlaar open to staying on. Cleverley seems like he would probably like to carry on here for Sherwood and I think Benteke is loving playing for Tim too. Short of us getting a silly offer we're in no need of selling and I don't see Benteke pushing for a move if one isn't forthcoming.

Hopefully this summer is the start of building something positive and seeing us heading up a level or two in the table.

Sherwood has well and truly brought the feel good factor back. The seedlings of some good times look like they're in place too. He's delivering some good football and players seem to enjoy playing for him.

Based on what we've seen of him in recent weeks, would make a very decent 'free' transfer.

Probably.  But we don't want him to forget the Everton link so the bastard has to stand.

Outside of the initial saga in deadline day regarding where else gas it been written with quotes that he wants to go to Everton? I've not seen anything recently. Him and his wife were looking at houses in Birmingham, and he looks really happy right now celebrating goals and just being a part of the club. I can't see him leaving if the club make him a contract offer he agrees to.

The majority of any talk seems to be from the other side, in that Martinez really rates him very highly.
Looking at both sides right now though. I'd say Villa look a better bet for doing something next season. Everton don't normally splash out a lot of money (without having sold players) and they've used up all the Fellaini money. If they are to have another big financial outlay this window then Baines or Barkley will have to be sold.

Player for player there's very little between the sides. They've vastly underperformed this year of course, and over-performed last year in finishing fifth, but in terms of quality they're somewhere in that 6th-9th band. I think with the right signings we could be in that area again. We don't have to spend big, just sensibly. 20 mill could get us a long way and that shouldn't be out of our means given the TV money etc. Even if Randy stays on, he needs to back Sherwood. We're not in need of a huge rebuild. We just need to iron out a few creases at fullback and get more midfield options.
