Returning Villa players for Championship?
« on: May 01, 2016, 08:15:02 PM »
Which current ex-Villa players would you welcome back to try help us get promotion from the Championship next season? Reasonable suggestions.

I would go for Gareth Barry (need an experienced leader) and Boaz Myhill (improved a lot since he left).

Well, Myhill hasn't done a great job for the Bitters.
I'd have Gazza Bazza back in an instant.

What's he done wrong apart from not being quite as good as Ben Foster?

I'd take him. He's finally found consistency and looks a class above that level. Hopefully he's matured a bit too. That said I'd take him only on the proviso that shit heads like Gabby etc have been turfed out because you get the impression Bannan could get easily led astray.

Crouch

Crouch would be a good option. I think he'd do very well as an impact player in the Champ. Very good for the bigger games.
I look at Downing having gone back to Boro and hope that Barry might be tempted to return to us. Unlikely but to me, signing Barry is basically a huge step toward making at least a top 6 place a near certainty.

It would be great to see Stan have a fairy tale comeback. His first game back at Villa park would be a flood of grown men's tears.

Benteke, Milner and Young will do.

If we do see him back at Villa Ark in the Championship it won't be good news. He'll be in a Leeds shirt having seen out his contract at Liverpool.

I think he's completely done really. Even as an impact player he's not offering much for Derby.

3 goals this season. He's struggling a bit it seems. I have no idea where Derby are playing him though. The lad has never ever, or will ever be, a capable winger.

They tend to play him as a sub.
