Hadgi
Kachloul
Hadji was a superb player but was treated disgracefully. He was awesome at the start of 01-02 despite being continuously used from the bench. He scored a couple of goals including a screamer in the last minute against Varteks when we had another shocking elimination. He barely played in 02-03 because Taylor was an idiot. The strange thing about that was Taylor used to constantly praise Hadji on the radio during the previous season. Never understood why he didnt fancy him. We then shipped him out the following season. A complete waste of his talents.
As for Kachloul, while he didnt pull up trees for us, he was free and after Gregory resigned, he wasnt fancied. Not really his fault. Taylor never liked creative midfielders and instead played cloggers like Leonhardsen and Kinsella.
Curcic and Kinsella have to be the two centre mids because Curcic was a batshit mental shithouse who cost a lot of money. Kinsella was probably the least talented player ever to put on the Villa shirt.
