Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[garyshawsknee]

The general media sensationalistic reporting does my head in

"Garde bans French in the dressing room" when he has said that all players need to have a common understandable language and as we are in England etc. He also alludes to "team" every time a reporter tries to steer him towards English vs French. Are they trying to cause a shit stir already

I hope that from now on the manager and all players conduct TV interviews in Esperanto.

Is that was Steve Mclarean learnt from his time in Holland ?

No, that's how McLaren tells his Spannish players to go faster.

It's interesting that he's watched most of our games this season.

So me and Remi have loads in common. Suave sophisticated intelligent blokes who have been watching the Villa all season!

He's bilingual like you as well Aftab.

Haha....it gets better and better. I have just amended my profile to say that I speak Brummie and English!

I have a genuinely good feeling about this appointment. He sounds like he plays the exact right sort of tactics, and he's not some British football thicko. Adding in the fact that we've signed some talented players from France and I think it could go very well.

I think it's great that so many people are watching us and hoping it all goes tits up. We have a chance to prove that Villa are still a force to be reckoned with. One of the worst parts of supporting the club over the last few years has been the feeling of being a total irrelevance.

Good old Oscar.  I would have enjoyed his company.

Well, that was a fairly shit performance last night by Citeh, fancy only winning 3-1 away to one of the top Spanish clubs!!Obviously, this means we will win on sunday but Remi needs to be on his Guard at all times.

Seriously though, look at all the teams we as supporters are picking on here and we seem to have a nucleus of 9 players with the other 2 starting places, some prefer one player and others prefer a different 1 or 2. Can we, who have watched the matches this season be so wrong - I don't think so. It will be very interesting to see who he puts out on Sunday but, as long as Gabby, Westwood, Gestede, Lescott and Richardson are nowhere near the starting line up I will be a happy bunny. In fact, I don't think I even want them on the bench as we could have Bunn, Grealish, Sinclair, Gestede and Kozak instead.

I honestly think that we don't have a bad squad and, if our "best" team do the business between now and January (then get Alexandre Lacazette in from Lyon. Just broken into the French Squad/ plays for Lyon but has fallen out with the club president and, ideally, wants away). Obviously, Remi will know his talents very well. He looks like a natural centre forward, scores good goals with his head and, not afraid to shoot from just outside the penalty area and very pacy. Only problem is he would cost around £20 million and Arsenal have shown an interest in him.

However, if AVFC really want to challenge for anything, this is the type of player we need.

Sounds like the perfect player for Arse to buy and loan to us for a few months.

And, most importantly, if we need to change again future then stick with a new man of a similar style.  It is the flip flopping that kills us.

By the way, both Woodhall and Walnuts owe me a nice bottle of wine based on the appointment I believe!

Certainly do! Thanks for that!

I will PM my address so you can courier it over!

That's a shout. I'm expecting first refusal on all Arse's loanees and for Houllier to oil the wheels for any future transfers in of promising French youngsters, now that their BFF is our gaffer.

[Billy Walker]

I'm not sure helping Arsenal develop their players is the way forward for us.
