Andy gray

The five goals in 54 games Andy Gray who couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo?
Still the best ever player I have enjoyed watching at Villa Park. Edit: Unless you mean the other one?


Fantastic first time around, one of my childhood heroes. However, the question was players who have done well for us in a second spell. Andy Gray was well past his best when he came back, it was quite sad to see.

Agreed. The year we were relegated I think he didn't score a league goal for us

I just checked and you're right Pat. No goals in 19. I think it was away at Crystal Palace (or someone who was ground sharing with them) where the ball came to him a few yards out a couple of feet off the ground. Instead of poking it in he tried a diving header, the ball went out for a goal kick off his shoulder. In 1977 he'd have scored without a second thought.

I don't believe for one minute we have turned down a £25 million bid for Amavi, maybe £2.5 million.

On his last two showings, £25?

Said it before and I'll say it again, he cannot defend. Sacko (who?) tore him a new arsehole. If someone really has offered £25m I suggest we call them back sharpish.

This, £25m for a defender that can't defend!!

Brilliant and totally awful at the same time. Hold out for 25.1m and then sell.

I'd be tempted to give him a go wide left. Has pace, skill and a great left foot. Is decent in the air as well. His positioning defensively tonight was not good though....Probably a mild understatement.
Adomah on the other side. We simply don't get balls in the box to create enough chances....

He made a couple of mistakes tonight which nearly cost us but overall I thought he was ok. He's been very good since he's come back from injury.

If anyone offers any kind of money over £10m we should snap their hands off.

I share a similar mindset.. would it be suicide to put bacuna behind him? That would be a fairly skillful left side.

If Amavi is worth £25m in today's market, Ashley Cole would have been worth £250m.

Why, what are we going to get for 10 million that will replace him as a left back? And money may not be an issue for us now?
We should be careful what we wish for. I remember a lot of people saying Gueye won't be missed, he's not that good, etc, etc...

It was him or Cissokho!! I actually don't think the full backs are top of our issue list. We don't leak many goals from there and playing better and retaining possession takes pressure of the back 5.

He had a very bad game tonight.

He also had their best player (who looked quite good) and their full back attacking him without any real help, especially last 10 mins, he was left isolated.
