Leaves us light of CB 3 days before the season ....

Okore, Elphick, Baker, Toner....

See ya Joleon!

Plus Richards as he's still here and can play there.

I would be happy with Okore, Elphick, Baker and Toner. The squad size needed to come down and we're gradually getting there.

There is a lie in there PWS. He can prance about there and look pretty. Not sure play there is his frorte.

Plus I reckon he will be gone by September. Would not be at all surprised to see us go for a loan centre back and try and buy Gunter off Reading for his 1.1m release clause to replace Hutton

Worst central defender I've seen at Villa in terms of attitude and commitment.  I think it was the Southampton home game where he kept losing his marker and conceding headed goals. Lots of errors last season but those are the ones that I remember most as best example. Awful attitude, horrible man.

Nail on the head.

I think Pulis knew exactly what he was doing palming Lescott off on Sherwood (totally schooled him), his legs were gone & he was sold on basis of reputation not the fact that Pulis had hidden him at left back for months.

Unfortunately there was no hiding place in our defence last year with full backs & central midfielders who seemed to think defending was beneath them so I think it would have taken Bonucci & Hummels to shine at centre half!

The time to have signed him was when he left Wolves

Not a chance. Baker is poor and Toner totally unproven. Okore injury prone although Elphick could be decent. Need at least one more first 11 centre half in

And Richards

We should throw Richards in with the Lescott deal, two disgraceful professionals

Agree.

What time am I picking you up Joleon, I have hired a car of your dreams to take you up to Yarkshire. 

A decent player with a terrible attitude - he is someone who needs the supporters to be on his side, this was never going to happen given his outbursts  and his demeanour.

[Gregorys Boy]

Still think he could have had a role to play as a squad player.  Prefer him to Baker at least.  But no I don't think we will miss him and could do with trimming the wage bill a bit more.  Okore and Elphick should be the first choice second halfs now that Clark has gone. 

[not3bad]

Bollocks.

Shit

[Bottom Right 89]

How much do they want to be interested? I'd be willing to chip in a tenner if everyone else does to get him off our payroll.

Maybe Nathan Baker is not quite top drawer compared to Lescott in his prime but I'd rather have Baker in my team giving his all than Mr Couldn't care less.
