Sounds like Bacuna is having a nightmare today. Richards is about as bothered about playing for Villa as I am for Blues, and Hutton is shit. So Debuchy would be a good signing.

The rest of the side is shite still

How about the Aston Villa board get their arses in gear and just fucking do something and stop acting acting like their running an amateur club. Football is massive business but we show less business sense than a kid selling lemonade outside their house.

Bacunas a fucking donkey with the back bone of a sperm. He shouldn't be anywhere near a premier league team. He'll look shite in the Championship too next season. He can't defend, can't control a ball, is physically small and weak and has no brain. He has no set position because he's crap in them all. Having him around as a squad player is useless because it's almost having 10 players on the pitch. I'd rather we give his squad position to a youth graduate if we are going to fuck around and spend bugger all again. This has been an appalling transfer window again. In fact we haven't done any decent business for years now and we're in the shit up to our eyeballs.

There are worse players than Bacuna in the top 7 of the Championship. Likewise Westwood. There are though many better defensive and attacking units.

We will see next season won't we. The only times Westwood in particular looks Ok is when we play poorer teams and the better players around him help him disappear in to the back ground and hide his inadequacies. I've never seen a midfielder affect a game so little as he does.

I just think they are mentally weak in a football sense.  We have too many players that lack fight, some mentally weak and others that don't give a s***.

On a good day, some of these players would be good enough for the Championship but what about on a bad day or if we do manage to get out of the division, what then?  We need a good clear out so that we have consistent momentum going forward, not another summer of all change in 18 months time.

To be in the top seven in the Championship, you need to be about as good as the likes of Bannan, Lowton, Carson, Warnock, Ridgewell, Maloney, Sidwell and Weimann.

I reckon we'll cope.

Do we want a squad that is good enough to be in the top seven in the Championship, though or good enough to be in the top ten of the PL?

The latter. But that's a completely different argument to the one in which people are shouting that our current squad isn't good enough to cope in the Championship are having.

Players as crap as that pair need to be sent packing from Villa before we kick off next season whatever league we're in. Whatever league we're in they won't be good enough for us. The fact that they've been at our club as long as they have is a damning indictment of Lerner's stewardship of Aston Villa.  They've been part of what is the worst Villa team I have ever seen.

It's not an ability issue with some of our players, certainly at Championship level, it's a mentality issue. Too many of our team accept losing.
