The Villa Clearout

I think Sanson has looked tidy on the very few opportunities he’s had and certainly deserves a longer run in the side. He obviously wasn’t Smith’s cup of tea and the same goes for Gerrard which is a pity as he was highly rated but it just hasn’t worked for him.

I think him and Traore will get loaned out tbh. We can surely sell Gulibert as apparently he keeps doing well on loan so surely a club in France will sign him permanently with just 12 months on his deal. Or perhaps someone like Fulham might go for him.

Hopefully with a full pre season Bailey can come back and make a sustained impact next season. Would be hugely disappointing if we just give up on him as there's a really talented player lurking there but feels like Gerrard's system is exactly the wrong fit for him.

The emergence of Ramsey has, no doubt, proved an obstacle but you’d think the stuttering form of both McGinn and Luiz would have seen him get a lot more game time. He’ll be down as another failed transfer along with a few others in the squad.

I agree tbh even Ramsey looks like a rest wouldn’t hurt him at times over the last few games.

I though smith was making a point - not sure with gerrard
