I think a little bit too much is being made of the bench on Saturday. We had three players out injured, he couldn't pick Bednerak and for some reason, he chose not to pick Nakamba or Augustinsson. It did look a bit weak but I'm sure the next bench will look a lot stronger.

I wish him luck. There is no doubt a decent player in him. But injuries, poor form, low confidence, an idiot manager (Gerrard), have not been kind to him during his time at Villa. I hope he can regain his form & return to Villa. He will be like a new signing...

He chose not to pick Naka and Aug because he has told them they have no future at the club.

Of all the Loanees that we sent out

Morgan is the only one i can see actually training - i wonder if he has another chance?

No sign of Hause, Nakamba, Davies, Philogene

or as previously mentioned - Couthino???

There were supposed to be 2 French clubs interested in signing him this summer.

I do wonder if it's strategy that we've not actually let anyone except Young leave yet? If finances didn't come into it I think it makes sense to see how many of your targets you can get in before deciding who can leave.

If the Ings deal is anything to go by, they very much don't buy into that way of thinking. Somebody like Coutinho might be 50/50 in that they'd accept a good fee for him if offered, but Hause, Nakamba, Philogene and Davis clearly have no future with us even if we didn't sign anybody else.

Aren't Strasbourg loaded now becoming a parent club of Chelsea? Surely they can afford 4-5m.

We can't really ask for much more given he's played twice for us in two years.

Fair point. There's definitely some of them we probably can't get rid of. I just find it odd/interesting that there's several who apparently have clubs interested in them, and the player is happy to go, but there's been no movement yet.

As people have pointed out, last season we had matches where we struggled to fill the bench. Even going into these preseason games we're missing Bailey and Ramsey. If someone else picks up a knock then we could be light on numbers.

Or maybe UE just wants to have a proper look at him before deciding to let him go.

I feel a bit sorry for Sanson, in that he's never really had an extended chance to show what he can do.

But then again, it's three managers who have seen it the same way.

Although, on the other hand, I am pretty sure Emery said he rated him and he's a good player with a good attitude, a hardworker, just that he couldn't see where he'd fit in with the way we play.

He had a fair few injuries with us too, didn't he?

If players were happy to do it, and UE felt they were up to it, I'd be quite happy to have some of them line out against lesser teams, be it league or early Cup games, especially if we get into the Conference  group stages. Or play the second half of a match we're comfortably winning so others can have more time off between games.

The last time he played he finally scored, in our worst defeat possibly ever.

He really hasn't had much luck.

If anybody was going to get his career going again at Villa, it would be Emery. If none of Smith or Gerrard or Emery fancied him, then I think it's just not meant to be.

Whenever I see his thread pop up again it reminds me of Purslow trying to be all French sounding when pronouncing his name - a bit like that song by Manhattan Transfer.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for Morg. He's a classy player.
