I rated Albrighton, too, but if Leicester were willing to pay him 35k a week, then we did the right thing in not matching it. He's not worth anything like that much.

Bowery didn't really do much in the chances he got, and to be honest, how many more chances was he going to get? The only reason he got a chance this season was because Kozak and Benteke were both out. That's not likely to be the case again.

Dear Mr Upset, congratulations on your first post.
I can't answer your question though.

Why was Mark Albrighton let go, after being one of the best of a mediocre bunch at the end of last season, also Jordan Bowery, young player still learning the ropes but now gone elsewhere. On the opposite side of
things Phillip Senderos and Joe Cole, again we appear to be picking up other teams not wanted players, this with no insult meant to either player but age is not on their side. O K perhaps things are up in the air as far as big money signings but please losing the upcoming youngsters and getting cast odds not really going to help move us up the table is it.

I warrant OUR Joe is a better footballer even allowing for age then Mark cross the ball, take into consideration salary, Villa are on a winner.

Me too. You can tell by the poor grammar. It's always a dead giveaway.

Strictly speaking, i think the rules say something about not accusing people of being noses.

FWIW, I think you're all being a bit harsh anyway, it seems a valid enough point.

Do you think we have any scouts in Brazil or Lambert himself? It would be nice to know we are still looking at players* while the club is in limbo from an owner perspective.

*I mean players that are not on a free in the autumn of their careers...

Surely Mogadon would be more appropriate.

Did you know Mondragon is Esperanto for "our ex manager dresses in his wife's clothes"? I thought not.

Did you know that 'mon-drag-on' is French-Guyana for "I'm an ex-smoker but occasionally have a toke on someone else's ciggy"?

Thought not.
