Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[Toronto Villa]

If Garde does walk in May, my fear is that Villa only seem to appoint those who are available (cheap!). Hopefully they grow a pair and piss another club off by approaching a Manager already in situ and doing a decent job at another club.  Er, or we go for Moyes!

Again a myth. Was McLeish cheap? I bet MON wasn't. Lambert probably got paid what he was worth. He was someone the fans wanted. And Sherwood I am sure didn't come free.

Cheap as in easy to appoint because they were available.  Lambert and TSM had both resigned from their clubs but Villa got outflanked and paid some compo anyway, not sure why.  With Sherwood, we didn't have to pay any because he was free.  I also recall the General saying that we didn't want to disrupt other clubs again and wouldn't approach their Manager's.  We are far too nice a club.  We don't seem to stick up for ourselves with the press and now seem to have a thing about appointing Manager's who are already available.  What we actually pay them when they are here isn't what I am saying.

What are you on about? So was your initial comment directed towards me?

Lambert was effectively tapped up by us.
Not sure what point you're really making. And, we've paid these suckers loads (look at the £2.8m gaff that Lambert was selling).

As was McLeish. Both resigned because we were after them, not the other way round.

Since Garde has found a settled side and formation (after the Sunderland game) we have only lost one in five league games and that was Tuesday night when we were down to ten men.  I think the structure of the side is pretty sound now we just need better quality in a few areas.

Having a bit of pace up front today helped. It would be nice to see the Gabby of today's form coupled with Ayew's guile. That's probably our best chance of putting some quality up front.

Be even quicker with Adama.  Va Va Voom.

[Ger Regan]

When is adama due back actually? Should be soon enough I would have thought?

Agree Ads.  Our lack of pace in the final third is a problem and Agbonlahor could help if he shows the kind of form he did in the second half today.  Ayew and him up front with Gestede or Kozak on the bench to come on if we need to go direct in the final stages.

Early March according to Physioroom.com

He's clearly got the squad unified, we need to keep him at the club.
