Signing mentally strong players is absolutely critical.

Fuck that 19 year old. We will ruin any player like that we buy until were fixed. We need 5-6 30 year olds with unquestionable attitudes and some bottle right down the middle of the team and we need to pay what we need to get them before we even think about a strategy beyond not vanishing into the abyss in the next 2 seasons.

Absolutely, Jedinak is a must now! When we conceeded today we had as good as lost at that point and there was still 55 minutes to play.

Pat Murphy:-

Understand Lescott & Agbonlahor r part of the @AVFCOfficial exit strategy,announced soon. Bit complicated at mo.But Richards in RDM's plans.


JFC. What on earth has Richards got to do to be kicked out the door ?

Makes my blood boil the lump of useless shite

I hate Richards, I really do. But of those 3 he's the only one where you can say there's a footballer hiding in there.

lets hope that myth has been put well and truly to bed tonight

Jedinak must be signed.

It's not a myth. He is still a good full back with a terrible attitude. Nothing changed tonight except confirming that point 1 will probably never outweigh point 2 again. A small crumb of comfort if it means RDM abandons plans to try and rehabilitate him.

I mean he's not. He's positionally the worst player I've seen. He was playing full back in the first half, but he thought he should be more of a striker.

I hope Jedinak didn't watch that - it wasn't the most convincing commercial for joining us.

That applies to any player pondering an offer from us.

Jesus let's not argue about this hey. I'm agreeing he is done. He is done because he has a poor attitude that means he won't follow instructions and maintain his discipline in games and he thinks he is too big for us so his development is fatally stunted. However he was a pretty good defender for man city and the youngest capped England defender so it's not unreasonable to suggest he has some innate ability.

Leaders. We need more leaders. More like Elphick. From about the 20th minute I did not see Gardner once, yet they picked through our midfield with a single pass. No positional sense, or responsibility.

2 strong, experienced, willing central midfielders asap.

If playing 4-4-2, wide men that will cover the full back. Basic!

A striker with movement.

And for fucks sake a centre half and a right back. Gunter for 1.1m at right back looks too good to be true. Get him. Jedinak - just do what it takes! Get him!
Flamini is without a club - would be better value than a 19 year old at the moment. Bridcutt would do a better job. Chester would be a great signing.

There are some players out there without clubs who would do well at Villa.  Hibbert, Flamini for starters.  The longer this goes on the worse things will get as we only have shit to rely on. That phone needs to be really hot tomorrow, making call after call about players.

I was actually angry when I saw that twat had been named captain. I hope he never plays for us again, never have I hated a Villa player so much.

That side will look much better with Elphick back in it. We need McCormack fit, and we need Jedinak or similar to sort out the gutlessness in the centre of the park.

On this evidence I prefer Cissokho to Amavi who appears to be a bit rubbish at defending.

Bunn and Gestede need selling.

Not a happy bunny.

Bridcutt and Hibbert are awful players, lets not be too hasty

Flamini as a leader in midfield would be great, he was starting for Arsenal in champions league games last season

But Jedinak would be ideal, we desperately need some nasty physical power in there

The key thing is they are players who try and also had nothing to do with villa last season so fresh. Lower league players just have to have good application and team ethic and yes hard nuts like jedinak and ledley and bridcutt would be good job .

No more players who have been involved with man city or  I mean likes of players he moved there for the money too many aren't achieving anything .
These types of football are a plague and parasite don't want them. Boldy  big timers who aren't passionate
