The Midfield

[olaftab]

Absolutely we should be in for Barton. Proven experienced midfielder, leader and has recently won promotion at this level. Absolute no brainer.

And a proven c**t without any doubt.

I'd get him in like a shot. He's a horrible, self righteous wanker but one that won't stand for losing or people not performing to their optimum. We're too nice to play against, and that needs to stop.

Isn't that what people thought when Roy Keane joined the club?

Yeah that's why he walked so early.

I'm pretty sure he was meant to be part of the cure as opposed to being another quitter getting paid handsomely by the club.

I'd say he quit because the club was run like a fuckin joke.

[olaftab]

I am sure he quit because he is a mentalist.

[Villa in Denmark]

I am sure he quit because he is a mentalist.

I'm quite sure it fell nicely with the promo work for his book being completed, but then I'm quite cynical and mistrusting like that.

I'd say he quit because it suited Roy Keane.

With the state of our current midfield does anyone think we should have kept Carlos Sanchez and not sent him out on loan?

I think the pace of the division would have been a problem for him. I think the enforced changes so far have made  it difficult to make a proper assessment, if and when we get a settled side we will have a better idea.

Nonetheless, leaving ourselves with just Westwood, Jedinak and a mostly injured Tshibola as our entire senior midfield contingent was not smart.

Gardner is experienced at this level (he's not looked anywhere near good enough this season mind). I'd like to see Bacuna play in there some games rather than the combo of Westwood and Gardner which doesn't work.

[Monty]

Oh yes Gardner too. Still looks flimsy to me.

[old man villa fan]

I think Veretout should have been the one to keep. He is different from the rest in that he is creative.

I agree but apparently he was not happy at the club and wanted to go back to France.

That's my take.
