I tell you what, I receive the ball and turn bloody brilliantly; instep, through the legs, between two men then curled one onto the bar. Drop of the shoulder, Grealish learned everything from me....

Even the haircut?

He got the sides right.

They can have me for nothing getting on a bit but I will run myself into the ground for Villa but when they see me play they will say can you run yourself back out of the ground please.

Huth? 33 years. Out of Contract.  Has he recovered from his ankle injury?

Or from being a useless lump

I was impressed with the huge guy Wigan had (black guy with Blonde hair) at CB - he was a beast and kept Kodjia and RHM quiet - lots of pace as well

Just checked - Cedric Kipre - 22 yro bought last season from Motherwell

I thought he was awful! I thought Wigan would probably have got something out of that game but for him.

Didn't see enough of the game but they were absolutely panning the Wigan centre backs on the Villa View podcast

And five goals conceded in two games doesn't suggest water tight

Kipre made one great tackle to stop RHM but other than that I thought he was one of the worst footballers I’d ever seen. He could trap a ball further than I could kick it.

Is he the Djemba brothers third brother then?

You oldies are deluded. Free up some space for those of us who still have a small chance.

Let go of the apron strings sonny, you need to step to play at this level.

Be a real man, like Grant Holt.

Not the best of sources but I read Ciaran Clark is being linked with a loan move.  Would make some sense as he's a good championship player and left sided, giving us better balance.  I can't see it happening but makes a bit of sense.

Sounds like a great idea. I’d take him back in a flash

Genuinely forgot he existed. Yeah I’d have him back.

Would be a good move as he has more experience than when he was here before, but he started for Newcastle on Saturday and with the window now closed for top flight teams, is it likely he is going to be available?
