It's whether fans should have some respect for a player who has always given 100% in the shirt and made a massive contribution to our promotion as well as some decent performances to help us survive.If you really think it's funny then you must be a child.As for Westwood, fucking hell fancy dragging up posts from over 3 years ago. I never thought he was a world beater but yes, I didn't think he was as bad as some on here did. Neither did Sean Dyce as it happens and Westwood has since played over 120 games for Burnley, a big chunk of those whilst the team he wasn't good enough for laguished in the Championship.I see you now think McGinn and Mings aren't very good either so I think I'll carry on ignoring your views on players.

Trez, hologram and taylor need immediate replacements. The rest can wait until the summer.

Ignore away. I try my best to ignore your views, but your love of mediocre midfield players and precious style, grates.
Quote from: manic-road on December 01, 2020, 08:27:36 PMI actually find it amusing that a player who has so much pride playing for the Villa, went back on the train to Bournemouth in his Villa shirt after gaining promotion and has now gained England recognition from his performances and lauded by the majority of Villa fans is now deemed to be replaceable.Who is this upgrade that posters want to replace Mings with? Some even think this is the number 1 priority!Mings has never played consistently well in the top division, that's the bottom line. Most are suggesting competition for his place might be a good thing. Not sure what his choice of clothing on public transport have to do with anything. International recognition sure but it's the worst group of centre halves in over 25 years that I can recall. Mings isn't even the best centre back at the club Id argue.

A real shame Engels is not in the frame anymore. I really think there is a good player in there.
In an ideal world I would like a full back, centre half and striker. The striker being the number one priority.
Quote from: Damo70 on December 03, 2020, 04:29:37 PMIn an ideal world I would like a full back, centre half and striker. The striker being the number one priority.This baffles me. For me, Watkins has had one bad game and that was the last game against West Ham. Other than that, he has shown his touch to be sublime in his hold up play (please compare him in this category to Wesley who was abysmal) and likes to run at players. He also makes nice runs but, unfortunately, he is not looked for as frequently as he ought to be. I love Jack as much as anyone, but he sometimes holds on to the ball too long and does not slide a ball through to Ollie. Not all the time and Jack has earned a bit of forbearance, but I just think that Ollie does not get the kind of quality balls and crosses that he thrived upon at Brentford (the irony being that he had several of them this past game and did not make the most of them save the "offside" goal). Part of that is because our other winger does not put many quality balls into the box. I appreciate Trez's work rate, but I do not rate him very much, which is why a pacy wing player is critical in my estimation. Second tier would include a central midfielder to challenge for a place among the likes of Barkley, Luiz, and McGinn.

That means that he can't afford to have a bad game, let alone get injured.
Yes, ok. That would be great. Better than one of those vague PM warnings about conduct that can't be replied to (or at least I think can't be replied to).
