Dear Hamburg,

Fuck off.

Dr Xia said he's staying

Clark can go, I think Baker will do ok


Baker isn't good enough. How many chances do you give him?

If Ayew has a release clause as is likely, then there's fuck all yhe club can do yo keep him.

We definitely shouldn't let him go for a paltry £8million, unless he has a release clause and then there's nothing you can do.

The way I see it, we took a gamble on him and he has played reasonably well, in quite possibly the worst Villa team ever!

If we tried to replace him we would be looking at a lot more than £8million and even that would only buy you someone bang average like Rhodes.

Baker and Clark need to leave, they have as much concentration as they do ability - not a lot.

Do we have that luxury? If Elphick and Okore are our first choice, it's between Richards, Lescott or Toner to cover. I'd get rid of Richards and Lescott if only to lessen the wage bill.  That would leave Clark, Baker and Toner as cover. If we sign another CB then we could rethink.

Yes, sell them asap and replace them with something different.

Hamburg bid £8 million for Aston Villa striker

The Ghana international has also been linked with a move to Bordeaux and Galatasaray following the Villains relegation from the top-flight last season.

Maybe he had a premier league club release clause. Or maybe he doesn't have one.  It's not been reported he has like Gana has four example.  Our maybe he wants to stay.

Percy tweeting that Guzan can go on a free to Boro. Let's see his approach to the Holte in the friendly..it was bad enough when he was in our shirt!

May be in the minority but I wish him well.

Served us for 8 years. I know the last two his standards dropped considerably.

The last two were spent taking the piss and playing his part in the most poisonous dressing room we've probably ever had. For that reason he gets zero well wishes from me.

Same here, the Wycombe incident was an appalling lack of judgement but I can't single him out for not being up to the job, he was one of many.

Edit: On reflection that is far too generous, I'd not give him any more stick than any of the other arseholes involved with last season were he to come back to us with another club.

He was never unfit to play unlike Gabby.

And at least he's giving us some good performances down the years....I'm still waiting for something like that from Richards.

So I don't quite lump him in with those lot.
