Just read in "the Birmingham Mail" of our interest in Gomez from Liverpool £30 million+ fee, if it is correct would that mean that Mings is surplus to requirements?

Why Mings? Gomez plays on the right so Konsa would be the player in the most danger (assuming Chambers is safe after only joining this year).

Agreed and I'd rather have Nathan Collins than Gomez.

Correct, and he seems injury-prone too.

With 5 subs this season I can see why clubs would want to pad out as much as possible.

I'm not even sure he was the right person... another terrible decision - waiting months for Houllier, appointing TSM, then TSM2, then Tactics and Garde to finish the list of the worst run of Villa managers in history...



A list:

McLeish
Lambert
Sherwood
Garde
Di Matteo
Bruce

I've left out pauliewalnuts best pal Eric Black as he was only a caretaker.

The list is bad enough in it's own right, but it's scary to think the best manager out of that lot is Bruce.

This is harsh on Garde, he inherited an absolute shambles. He turned up won a few asked the Board to back him in the transfer window, got knocked back then gave up. Sherwood is the worst manager in that lot.

Rumours of Otavio from Porto on that there Twitter for 20m so that’s almost certainly bollocks.

Wouldn't that push Buendia out? We just got the guy.

Mark Kelly tells us to stay clear of Otavio, I trust him.

I actually think Gomez is a decent player, but spending £30m on him right now would be utter madness.

It wasn't long ago a lot of us thought Konsa should be pushig an England place and we all think Mings should start ahead of Maguire.  Since then we've added Chambers and Carlos.  Our centre back department isn't perfect, but neither is it a problem that requires most of our remaining transfer budget throwing at.
