Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[KevinGage]

Could see Ayew ending up at somewhere like Palace for £5 million plus one of their forwards on loan.

Veretout does about 80 per cent of things right and then dwells on the ball too long and surrenders any advantage.

He still looks off the pace of the English game and we're coming into March. He's the type of player I would like to persist with, but I don't think other English sides will be tripping over themselves to sign him on this seasons showing. I could see him going to one of the bigger French sides though, as his standing will still be high over there.

I don't think we'll be getting anywhere near our money back on either of them.

Amavi could be our ace in the hole.  He looked far and away our most threatening player in the early part of the season, and if his rehabilitation means he is only coming back to full fitness by the end or soon after the transfer window, we might reap the benefit of having him for the guts of a season down there.  Even half a season might make a difference.

Talks the talk but shit team selection again today and no '' he doesn't have anyone else'' doesn't wash with me. He does, it's his choice not to utilise younger players. Not sure how losing all the time is going to do us any good, he'll walk anyway, I doubt he's even that bothered now apart from his reputation.

I disagree

He has little or no options

Now isnt the time to be throwing in kids. Even if they are good enough it could ruin them with the current attitude of our supporters. Or maybe the kids arent good enoug?.probably, knowing our academy

[aj2k77]

Attitude of the supporters? The support the clowns have had this season, it's turned nasty once or twice but apart from that those donkeys have been given support despite swanning around without a care in the world.

I think a lot of fans would appreciate seeing a few players run themselves in to the ground for a lost cause.

[Hoppo]

It didn't do Man Utd any harm throwing a kid on the other night.

Nice bloke, poor manager.Daft appointment.

Give some names ? Who in our squad does he put on the pitch?

Do what? Have you seen the away end at Stoke today and the noise the away fans have made?

[curiousorange]

It's not going to work for him, is it?

[VillaAlways]

Can't see him being here much longer tbh.

[curiousorange]

I struggle to think of a team and a manager that seem to hate one another so pointedly. Garde can't look at that side and be pleased about what he's seeing, yet the squad players and youth can't seriously back Garde when they're not getting a chance ahead of at least half a dozen petulant arseholes masquerading as footballers.

There is a massive, massive difference between throwing on a kid in a European cup tie at home versus into the hell that is a relegation battle. Even though have played well below themselves they still have a number of very good and confident players. It won't have done him any harm. Not such a good situation with us.

[curiousorange]

At some point, those squad kids have got to be thrown in, because even if the atmosphere is awful at the moment, I don’t think it's very fair to put them in a starting XI in the Championship where the minimum expectation will be to wipe out the bad vibes of this season. Either they're part of our future or they're not. I would expect to see Green and Lyden in after relegation's confirmed, at the very least.

[Toronto Villa]

Yes, they will get used once relegation is confirmed. As hugely gutting as that day and immediate aftermath will be the remaining games will be a lot more relaxed. As crazy as that sounds. Away days will be parties. And with no real pressure the manager can start to look at players for the following season. I expect to see lines being drawn in the sand worn certain players who if Garde remains at the club will have played their final game. While there is still a chance I just think he is reluctant to expose them to the pressure and misery of it all.
