    Madness. By the second-half of this season, he wasn't even starting for Wigan.
  2. Villain-from-Texas
    Which means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

    1. Rodgers 2. Poyet 3. Martinez 4. Lambert I have reservations about every single one of them. Martinez, for example, gets a lot of credit for keeping Wigan up. But Paul Jewell and Steve Bruce not only kept Wigan up, but also got them higher finishes in the table.

    It would be a terrible move for AVB.
  5. Villain-from-Texas
    Diame? No offense, but sometimes I wonder whether people pay attention to other teams. Diame hasn't made Wigan's starting-eleven for a while.
  6. Villain-from-Texas
    Anyone who thinks that AVB, Hiddink, or Moyes might consider Villa is, with all due respect, deluded and grossly overestimates our current standing in the footballing world.

    Danny Guthrie and Leon Best? Jesus wept.

    This. How much experience managing in the PL did Paul Lambert have before this season? Or Brendan Rodgers before this season? Or Roberto Martinez before Wigan hired him? I wouldn't hire Lennon, but it wouldn't be because he lacks PL experience -- which is a vastly overrated criterion. Focusing on it puts you on a fast track to hiring a retread like Curbs or Sven.

    I, like most, have never seen him play. But Alkmaar are first in the Eredivise and just thumped Udinese. Surely a player who starts for them won't be out of his league here. Given that we won't pay a transfer fee, I can't complain.

    I don't see it, guys. I'm sorry, but I don't. Herd hasn't impressed me. He has a good engine and some bite in his tackle, but so do Jay Spearing and Lee Cattermole.

    The better question is, why wouldn't they be able to keep Bent this window?
  12. Villain-from-Texas
    Gardner is hurt.
  13. Villain-from-Texas
    People need to slow down about Gardner. He looked perfectly fine for 20 minutes at the tail end of a preseason friendly. That hardly makes him ready to start. Remember how great Delph played against Fiorentina?
  14. Villain-from-Texas
    What do you base that on, the great spell he had at Leeds?
  15. Villain-from-Texas
    Been Saying this for a while. --------------Bent-------------- N'Zogbia---Ireland---Albrighton --------Delph--Makoun--------- I, too, would like to see that. But how comfortable are we with that midfield defensively?
  16. Villain-from-Texas
    He didn't play enough last season for anyone to get a reasonable impression about him.
  17. Villain-from-Texas
    Not since Bannan at Fulham have I seen a Villa player pick a pass as well as Ireland's on the first goal.

    How is this a sign of intent? Do you honestly think that our board has suddenly become "content" with being midtable? I see no basis for that. What do you expect us to do about our best players wanting to leave?
  19. Villain-from-Texas
    It's easy to criticize the appointment. Who would you all have appointed instead? And, please, don't say Frank Rijkaard or Louis Van Gaal.

    Why would we not want Rafa? People will quickly question whether a manager has won anything. In the same breath, people will quickly discount everything that Rafa has won: two league titles in Spain; a Champ League title; and a UEFA Cup. He had a dire final season in England, but that was on the heels of a second-place finish and in the midst of a crisis in ownership. Common knowledge says that he stinks in the transfer market, but the evidence says otherwise: he made some clever signings while at Liverpool and even turned a profit there in the transfer market. He should be the man.
