From the muscle he has put on I would think Sanchez has a good each way chance of a shot at the WBA Middleweight title.

Westwood seems to me to be the best at the club for retaining possession and passing to another Villa player. However, he is also the best at the club for not marking midfield runners and doesn't appear to read the opposition's attacking intentions very well. Which makes it all-the-more surprising that he is played as a deep-lying/defensive midfielder. I haven't seen the new guys play yet, but would think that he will only be a back-up if these guys hit the ground running.

If we are going to get anywhere, we need an upgrade on Westwood. Good squad player but an upgrade will make us better. Can we get back to potential replacements now please?

Read on the BBC site that clubs are showing an interest in Ashley Williams from Swansea (article suggested Everton and Crystal Palace).  Can't see him leaving there, but it would be a good signing for us.

Sanchez Veretout and Gueye on paper are the ideal 3. Westwood is good enough to be backup to them. In would like another central midfielder though I admit. That has similar attributes to Gueye.

agree totally

I don't like him, at all. He's a liability. Slow, lacks concentration and always has a mistake in him.

Though most people disagree, but that's just how I see him.

Totally irrelevant, but isn't Ashley Williams a Villa fan? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Well he is from brum, I can't remember where he used to work but I think it was city center way. He's got a decent thick as pig shit accent as well. If he has a brain cell he will be a villain.

Wasn't he born in Wolverhampton or somewhere in those parts. I thought he was a glory hunting Liverpool fan.

Westwood will be our best player against Bournemouth. You heard it here first

Sanchez will be our best player against Bournemouth. You heard it hear first ;-) Well maybe not but I do think he will have a great season with us now he's had some time to adapt. Both him and Okore will step up and come into their own. Watch this space :-)

I bloody hope so.  Both have huge amounts of potential, they've been sublime for short periods.
As PW says above Westwood (or one of the new guys) would really benefit from Sanchez's strength.  He could be our Matic.

I think Sanchez will do a lot better. He's performed very well international level, and now he's settled hopefully we see him play like that for us.

Ahh yeah he is from Wolftampon. I remember seeing him do an interview on a beach for some sport show. Probably football focus or some shit trying to be the One Show. High aspirations.

Our local newspaper (the Tamworth Herald) refer to him as Tamworth's Ashley Williams

I take it that would be a 'no' then!!
