Which ex Aston Villa players would you have back?
« on: April 23, 2019, 09:21:20 PM »
Which ex Aston Villa players would you have back?

If we...... no, when we go up which ex Aston Villa players would you have back?

I want us to bring back players who should never have left..... Daniel Sturridge (he is on a free) Gary Cahill (he is on a free) Marc Albrighton (£5m?) and Barry Bannan (£6m?) Enda Stevens (£4m?) plus add in Nick Powell (villa fan and on a free) Joe Lolley (villa fan £12m?)

The problem;

1) Is it wrong to live in the past?
2) Plus the last time we got in villa fans it did not end well (Joleon Lescott, Zatyiah Knight)

Milner, Gray, Mortimer, Cowans, Gidman, Carradous, Sir Brian, Graydon, Nicholl, The list is endless.
But I would also like to keep a few that we have at the moment.

I would consider having Benteke back at the right price. He is 28 and if Deano thought he could get him back to his best I reckon he would be worth a punt.

I saw Mr Cowans in the new Lidl in Lichfield this afternoon, so he's in my book for this thread.

I think we could see Joe Lolley in a Villa shirt next season regardless of the division we end up in. I think Dean will be in the market for young and hungry players who will naturally adapt to his preferred style of play.

32? Is that his age or is it how many kids he has?

Lolley looks like a less good version of Grealish, so not sure he's what we need.  We need an all-action midfield anchor to go alongside SJM and Jack, so if we're talking about ex-Villa players then I reckon Gueye would look very good alongside those two, but given Everton were turning down bids from PSG I'd rate that as very unlikely.

Glad it's not just me, although I didn't realise he was 28. I'd take Albrighton back too.
