I did like the idea of bringing someone like Sulliman or Beadeu though instead of loaning back Tuanzebe. If we lose Chester though, then that's a lot to ask of them, especially now Elphick has gone so I wouldn't be against Collins coming in short term.

Does anyone know if and when we have the option to recall any of the loanees?

I don't think you can recall early. Maybe in emergencies, but that'd really only apply to 'keepers, were it the case.

Cheers for that, we'll have to grin and bear it for a while then.

so fans want James Collins back, how short are our memories of this man

1. Did he and Dunne assault and verbally abuse a true legend of the club(Sid) when pissed out of there faces on a team bonding weekend
2. After an awards evening, went into Birmingham and was fighting with bouncers outside a night club
3 He said it was a massive mistake to ever leave West Ham for Aston Villa

But lets have him back and we can all applaud him for doing us a favour! no thanks he is part of the reason this club is in the mess it is now trying to get out of.
I agree totally with you and think surely there must be a center half at the club in the juniors who could step up.

If there is I'm sure Terry will know about him and Smith will use him

I think his two centre halfs at Brentford were 20 and 21 years old
Easah Sulliman is currently out on loan when we have zero cover at cb just about sums up Steve Bruce. Bring him back and give him a go Deano.

So Chester and Williams played together for Wales in the matches at the Euros, but have Chester and Collins played together many times for Wales? And do they get on? Any Welsh (or just more knowledgable) Villa fans know?

They may not have played together in the sense of a centre back partnership as Wales employed three at the back pretty soon after Chester came into the side and only changed to a four after Collins retired.  If I recall correctly, the only game Collins started at the Euros was the semi final game against Portugal (due to Ben Davies being suspended) and he was part of a back three then with Chester and Ashley Williams.

Hahaha! You could have given a reason why he hates him (before confessing) ;-)

I don’t like Collins and he is nowhere near the quality I want to see in our squad. In an ideal world I’d like to see a good replacement for Terry or one of the kids given a chance.

But I’m generally of a ‘needs must’ type of view and if for the situation right now Smith thinks he can make any sort of positive contribution, whether that be playing or just emergency cover, then I am absolutely fine with that.
