Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[oswald funkletrumpet]

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

Amavi played midfield for the french under 21 team.

Interesting.  I think one of the positions we are struggling in at the moment is the left side of the midfield three.  Westwood is currently playing there, but is not what we need.  We need someone with a bit of pace and drive, qualities that Amavi definitely has.

Didn't see a lot of him so it might be a rash call, but I wasn't sold on him as a left back fro what I saw as he looked very fragile when defending.  Cissokho is the other way round really, decent defensively but poor on the ball and going forward.

for what i have seen seen of amavi he is a left sided midfielder all day long

for me he is too much of a bottler to have at full back, he could be a fantastic option in midfield and could really do some damage

[ozzjim]

Amavi looks like a winger but due to his exceptional ability to read the game in front of him has become a full back because of the speed of interceptions he makes. No reason he could not go back into midfield though and I think he would quickly become our star man there. We miss him terribly.

[Mister E]

As others have said, the difficulty in bringing people in early in the window is one of our apparently-hopeless league position. It wouldn't surprise me to see a couple of players currently in the Championship coming in over this weekend / Monday, to provide steel where needed in the current squad and experience if we indeed take the drop.

Surely Garde wouldn't have joined if there was no money to spend. He would have made it a condition.

Surely we wouldn't have given him the job if he was demanding lots of money though?

It would be daft not to insist on some money as we were bottom of the league at the time.

definately he would be the bollocks in midfield

with cissokho behind him. i like a full back who is solid and gets a nose bleed when he gets over the half way line

This is why I believe Cissokho was recalled, a solid defender but not much else and when Amavi is fit, a good left sided midfielder. Sorted on the left side, with no additional money spent = good management.

See if the board aren't very careful Remi might decide to just fuck off and since we haven't really bothered with trying to make an effort this transfer window we'll probably bomb the second half of the season and that's not going to make us a very enticing proposition in the summer.

Still think he's brilliant do we?

Still think he's brilliant do we?

I still think that we shouldn't sack him if we stay up like you ludicrously do, yes.

[PaulWinch again]

No one said he's brilliant, people have said he needs time. Today just illustrates how weak our squad is. We needed to rest players and we can't compete. Also try to contain your delight in Villa losing.

[JUAN PABLO]

westwood and bucana are his favourites then ?

[aj2k77]

My god do we need Garde to turn out to be the second coming of Taylor. There is so much work to be done in the summer. The squad is rotten throughout.

No one said brilliant but he is the best we can have in our situation.

[SheffieldVillain]

Still think he's brilliant do we?

Have you been waiting for this moment for five games?

You obviously can barely contain your excitement

[adrenachrome]

Just walk away Remi
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame
