Good shout on here yesterday when someone suggested getting Gareth Barry in for the season.  I know he is slow (he always has been) but his speed of thought, passing ability and calmness would be perfect for us!  Moreover, he is able to cover several positions and is an excellent professional........swap for Gardner anyone?

Youth and pace lol.........Jedinak and Whelan?

Yes, the reason being that he's heading our way!  

Would like to try to  Gareth Barry back from the Boggies......not included in the matchday squad for them today!  Would beca real calming influence in our midfield  and has the versability to play in several positions, in particular in 2 positions that we desperately need (CB and LB).

Jack is going nowhere ............fact!

small time spuds and smaller time Levy can do one.

Come on man he scored 17 goals just last season. Wasnt his best for us 19? 

Regardless, Its not happening. Cant believe a twitter account with 11 followers has given people something to discuss!

Oh, I see! So that's why your not discussing it?

Would be a useful addition given that he can play DM and CB.....sign him up!

perfect away formation for me albeit without De Laet. Not sure we could have picked a better starting 11 from those that are fit.

Comfortable Villa win!

Best away formation so far this season IMO

Fair play if he was involved with purchasing any of the new arrivals.

welcome Steve!

A credit note.

Dont you mean a sick note?

Did he feature against us in the pre season friendly at VP

Dr Tony here.  Can anyone find me a part time job starting tomorrow.  I've spent far more than I wanted to.  I'll take any job that offers the minimum wage and that gives me access to twitter in my tea! break

Getting promoted is never a given. But RDM has been backed and has the players at his disposal to do the job. Its not an easy job and will get plaudits from me if he does it. - But equally he has to starting getting results pretty soon - there can be no fannying about, waiting for the team to 'gel' - there are teams in the championship assembled on almost zero resources who are winning games. 

I don't think Tony will tolerate excuses - He has kept his end of the deal with the money spent. Now RDM has to deliver the goods.

I love it when people state the obvious!

why use one word when a thousand will do?

Would still want another CM to push Westwood as I think we are a bit light in that position. Unless Grealish moves into an ACM role.

Agree. Grealish would be better in the ACM role. He has excellent vision and playing him wide restricts him too much IMO.

I wonder if he uses the name Villa_Southerner on here? 

'Holy smoke' doesnt stunt your growth then?

Sure he can. But just because he can doesn't mean it's a good idea. When making public statements, large organisations tend to consider the impact of that statement on various stakeholders. For us, the fans, the players, the manager, other teams, potential signings.

Xia doesn't seem to do that in his tweets. There's reason we have a PR team that draft and review every press statement, and there's a reason Xia deletes his tweets with alarming regularity.

If it was as you say, he's the owner, and he can do what he likes, why does he feel the need to delete his tweets so often? He knows he's **** up.

But he's almost 40...a grown up man. Its just like everyone else who make mistakes. If he has made mistakes he will learn from them. But as an adult  and owner they are his mistakes to make whatever we think about them!

Tony has rescued the villa, but folks seize upon anything to have a go. He bleeds villa, because that is the club he is going with. Just because you were born in Birmingham gives you no extra ownership over our club that our Tony doesn't have. His twitter strategy is based on good intention yet lots fail to see that too. I only hope he sees villa forums for what they are, a bunch of bored, isolated men who's partners do not listen. 

Well said mate!

I don't want to get in to debating the merits of Bennett's performances for us, but he spent years here, he no doubt has mates in the squad, probably still talks to a few of them, and I imagine they're equally unimpressed with the owner publicly mouthing off about details that are usually confidential.

The Holloway tweets, today's 'liking' a tweet that we need a new keeper. We're 5 games in, I dread to think what this dude is going to be saying publicly after a few more losses. He needs the PR team to filter this shit, he shouldn't be posting things in the heat of the moment, and based on the frequency with which he deletes his posts, he realises this to some degree.

Lets put this to bed once and for all. He's the owner and can therefore has the autonomy to say whatever he wants on twitter and elsewhere. Do you have anyone telling what to do with things that you own? If so, what do you say to people who interfere?...........serious question BTW,!.........its not illegal to talk about something you own, is it?
