Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

Or when Douglas Haig was made CIGS in 1915 largely on the basis of royal connections.

Not sure whether he is good bad or indifferent. He could be a stop gap  or here for the long haul. Who knows? This is Lerners Villa after all.

Replace Bacuna and Westwood for better and get a striker and GK , we could still ( I know a small stil) we could still make it but it of course wont happen.

the defence has improved , I like the french players , we play good football up the final third where we just have no killer instinct .

One thing I was annoyed about last weekend , there was not enough players getting in the box to support . This needs sorting ASAP.

What about using Amarvi when he's fit as a replacement for Westwood?

Amavi played midfield for the french under 21 team.

Why not use him at left-back and just get a better midfielder than Westwood?

I'm not sold on Amavi at left back, he doesn't half bottle tackles.

Odd, as just before he got injured he had made more tackles than any other player in the league.

[ASHTONVILLA]

The frustrating thing is that you see how close to being competitive we are. Garde has done a great job turning that shambles of a defence around and getting the team to put a shift in. We are only a goalscorer, and goalkeeper shy of being able to do the impossible and stay up. Not likely, but even if we drop we would need those players anyway.

I hope Garde sticks around, I like him. Can see him walking in the summer though.

[PaulWinch again]

I really hope we don't drive away Garde with our inability to get players he wants in.

[PaulWinch again]

"I won't complain to take the pressure or responsibility away from me. I'm not the guy who decides how much money we spend, I can only recommend."

I may be misreading this, but that quote from Garde makes it sound like he's getting frustrated.

[ozzjim]

It sounds like he is resigned to not getting people in.  He commented that he likes Kharzi before the window opened and he is now off to Sunderland for big money. It does look like there is bugger all too spend

Agree with this but only if we an get the right players for the medium and long term. A couple of loans short term is ok.
