ROTTERDAM1982

Agree TRO.Never convinced any of them was as good as they was made out to be.Milner cost Citeeehhh £28M, did he look like it this weekend? If he was on loan, maybe, but would prefer a Hughes kind of signing tbh.

Danny Ings would be worth a £4/5 m gamble. De Bruyne on loan, or Rosicky,, and if we have some money Hughes or Lestienne,

Too many negative comments on here about a young lad who has just come into the country.His problem is hes trying too hard, he is quick, has good feet, and has'nt got a bad cross.He will, i believe , come good.

Seems to not be so energetic as he was earlier in the season. The trouble is, in the 1st half, all 3 midfielders were too negative and too deep, picked up 2nd half, and Bacuna certainly made a difference when he went into midfield. We need a good attacking midfielder though.

How far is N'Zogbia away?

He's OK, but hes not that good that you reorganize the whole team to accommodate him.Has got a good cross on him, and good feet, but he is slow off the mark, and Jarvis destroyed him at times.

Delph and Sylla, plus a Cabaye type of player, would be a good midfield imho.

Sylla plays better alongside Delph. Agree that KEA and Sylla were too negative, and the FBs did'nt get foward enough. Westwood was ok today, still not convinced about him, but better today

Did'nt hinder us for 70 mins PaulC, we was probably the best team in that 1st 70 mins. Sylla and Delph for me is just a more reliably defensive unit, but each to their own.

I losing the love for Gabby tbh. He annoys me when he laughs when he misses .Saturday, Noocastle, Hull, 3 good chances, all missed.A possible extra 5 points if he puts them away.Not good enough.

But he fell asleep again on sat, let Osman run behind him, who then passed the ball to Lukaku as he did at Everton last season, and Fellaini scored, as he did against Lplop when Henderson scored. Look i don't want to keep knocking Westwood he is very much in the Barry Bannan mould, a nice footballer, with a nice pass, but too slow, and too weak for the Prem.If Sylla was playing instead of him on saturday, i don't believe Osman would have got the pass away to Lukaku, and that goal killed us.Yes Gabby, Weimann and Tonev have got to do much much better, but there is no way that Westwood should be in , as a defensive midfielder, in front of Sylla

Show me another one then Stefan. Westwood is supposed to be the passer, he does'nt do it enough.

Read it again, i did'nt say Baker should play in midfield

What are our latest accounts like Risso, and whats the projected wages to turnover ratio for the next accounts.

Better performance, but did'nt really do anything.Had a chance to play Benteke in on goal, failed to do it i'm afraid.Thats him in a nutshell. Hes an average player and an honest player, but lets be realistic,, hes not good enough.

Not mobile enough for midfield. When Okores is fit next season, as long as he returns to form, he will play alongside Vlaar , and eventually imho, Baker.Delph and Sylla will be the holding midfielders, Clark is'nt good enough to displace any of them.

He can't keep gambling on players.We are Aston Villa, we should'nt only keep buying players who MIGHT turn into good players. He has done a good job imho so far, but the next step is 2 or 3 players with proven quality, otherwise we will be in a continuing relegation battle year in year out.

Bring him in, move Weimann behind CB, play Gabby and Tonev wide....we have'nt got a great choice atm, but i think its time to give Tonev a run and have a look at him.

Would'nt mind a Rosicky in our team CL.

Told ya. Gabby has'nt developed as aplayer the last 2 years.He does'nt score enough, he does'nt create enough chance, and if he is on £60k per week like rumoured, hes not worth it. There was moment in todays game when Townsend got the ball inside Villas area, he run at Luna went past him, and put a shot just over the bar.One minute later Gabby gets the ball inside Spuds penalty area, looks up, and plays the ball back 30 yards.Thats the difference.Gabby has'nt done it, and is not going to, Weimann is still young, Gabby is 26.An impact sub at best for me.

Give him time, but would have preferred a good attacking midfielder for the money.

We missed KEA when he went off today. Not a big fan of Westwood tbh, not sure why everyone rates him so highly.A decent sideways pass, does'nt cover runs, gets caught out of position, not strong enough.For me behind Delph, KEA, Sylla and probably GG.Needs replacing asap

I thought we played well against Chelsk as well last season Isa. I am still uncertain about PL tbh.Benteke has been a superb signing, and i really like Bacuna, Sylla, and Okore.Luna and Vlaar look solid, but i think he is far too loyal to players like Weswood and Lowton last year.Kozak was a poor signing, as he is not what we needed.I said in the summer i would have got Remy on loan and bought Tom Ince to replace/compete with Gabby and Weimann, and i think we could have used Kozaks money more wisely. But we are not far off a reasonable team, a couple of cute signings/loans. we are easily top 8, and apart from Townsend, i was'nt overly impressed with Spuds tbh.

Hernandez from Ure? A good no 10, and at least one attacking inside forward to put pressure on Gabby/Weimann. The Ukranian guy might be worth a go if we can afford him, looked very good against England

Best wishes maqroll.My father was a chain smoker, and he was diagnosed as having lung cancer, and unfortunately it brought his life to a premature end at 62. What i would say, is i was 23 at the time, and felt i had'nt had enough good times with my dad.As someone said earlier, make the most of your time with him, and tell him how much you love him, and how important he has been to your life. My Dad was an intelligent man, knew the dangers of smoking, but made that choice, i don't think he had any regrets.All my memories of my Dad are happy memories, and hopefully you will have such good memories of your Dad as well maqroll.Make some more good memories, best wishes.
