Darren Randolph very impressive again for Ireland tonight and has been for West Ham in the cup games I've seen this season. We could do a lot worse imo

Clark probably been the best Irish player on view again tonight.

I'd never heard of Randolph before so looked him up. He's apparently played ninety-one times for Small Heath. Shows how much attention I pay to their games!

Well with our inevitable demise to the Championship, we need to bring in some up and coming youngsters from the lower leagues.

Rico Henry, Tom Bradshaw (Walsall)
Marcus Madison (Peterboro)
Will Greig (Wigan)

spring to mind.

The thought of Bowery back at Villa gives me the CBGBs

Bradshaw and Grigg aren't bad shouts for championship football. Always liked snodgrass at Hull if they don't go up too.

Marshall the Cardiff keeper in place of  Guzan, if they would sell for a sensible price and again if they don't get promoted.

I wonder what the transfer policy will be though, do we try to attract premier league players or go for championship players to get us up, my opinion is a bit of both as long as they are good enough and in the case of Grigg and Bradshaw promoting talent from league one and see if they are good enough in the championship.

I think our French contingent way be more than good enough when we drop as long as we keep them, ditto Clark/Okore/Grealish and a few others.

Grigg was brilliant at Walsall.

Duffy the Blackburn centre back seems to be in the same sort of mould of a Chris Nicholl,Evans mellberg type player we could do with now
Piece of cake this managerial lark

The reason I don't want a second rate manager such as Pulis or Pearson is because they will populate the squad with Championship  level cloggers. They could well achieve promotion but the squad would be woefully inadequate and would need another rebuild. Far better to have a few experienced heads along with some players that can grow.

The Blackburn manager, I forget his name, would probably want £40m off us if he's half decent.

I'm sure that if Blackburn have any good defenders, Lambert will coach it out of them soon enough.

I wouldn't say no to Big Bum Barry being signed for a couple of years. His experience and professionalism would serve us well- whether he would take a pay cut is another thing and I dare say that he may well end up in the MLS for a couple of seasons.
