If we were stupid enough to sell we would get more than 2mil of course. Selling a player who has in the past single-handedly kept a team in the premier league in the past and has 3 years left on his contract for 2mil is ridiculous.

so happy he made it into the first team and is playing well. My old man isn't a villa fan, PNE unfortunately for him, but he came to watch Villa v Stoke last year with me and spent the match saying how much he liked him. Said he looked like a poor mans Wayne Rooney, which i don't mind tbh. Scored a cracking goal that game too which helped make him even more memorable

as long as the guy is confident and he is in an important position on the pitch for the team i am confident he will deliver. He's got talent, he just doesn't show it enough but if he is happy at the club finally and more willing to put in the performances that are needed from him we could really have a good player on our hands. Unfortunately every time i get my hopes up about him he lets me down so i'm not getting too excited this time. surely has to start against bradford, will tear them to shreds

job done. players coming back and getting professional match time. Bent scoring. Bennett playing well. Get in a CM, CB. Roll on Tuesday

sunderland pulled it back nicely for those mentioning them losing earlier. looks like quite a few shocks are on today i am glad we aren't one.

could do without a replay... come on lads. Can anyone watching fill me in on how N'Zog played before coming off? and is either team looking like scoring??

Yessss!! Bentyyy!! Goalscoring machine, should start every game! thank god i am a villa fan otherwise people might question my complete change of opinion on him after 20 seconds of gametime.

brentford 2-1 up at southend

come on villa this is absolutely ridiculous. this is a game where we haven't spent the entire half on the back foot, don't **** it up

I got a single entry work visa, so i can't leave until i go to HongKong on the 8th of February. I have been here a bit, yes, legov, but i wanted to talk to people on here just to see if anyone brought up something i hadn't heard about I have been to Beijing for a few weeks in august and saw Summer Palace, Tiananmen square, Great wall, All the main sites. Briefly been to Shanghai but will probably go again, Just back from Hangzhou and actually didn't think it was very polluted, however it has been snowing there for a few days so it may have all been covered up. The snow made for a completely different experience to the one i had expected and the mist lingering over the lake made it look amazing. Basically done everything now in Shandong province, because work has restricted my travelling abilities. Qufu to see Confusious, Qingdao, Tai'an Mountain, and all the famous areas of Jinan. i have friends in Chengdu and i want to see the Panda's so that's a real option if i have time. My main area of interest is Yunnan, i want to go to Lijiang, or whichever place is a good starting block for seeing the Tiger Leaping Gorge. I want to see the forests on the border of Sichuan and Yunnan too, along with Phoenix City and Yuanyang Rice Terraces. Other than that i'll try to fit in all of your suggestions too. Thanks for all the responses, if you have anything more to add now i've better explained my position i would welcome it

Given Lichaj Devine Williams Stephens Johnson Bannan Carruthers N'Zogbia Agbonlahor Bent Would replace N'Zogbia with Ireland, Agbonlahor with Albrighton (carruthers going left side) and bowery with bent if they are not match-fit quite

I would love us to bring in Cahill on loan for a bit, i think he would really help out our midfield for a bit

Thats how i would rate them, and based on that would prefer 4 in the middle, with more width. however, Zog doesn't seem to like playing on the left and is always 2 weeks from being fully fit

absolutely gutted. my villa head told me there was a chance of winning, but realistically i knew that we were very likely to lose. To have been that close to a win is very frustrating but at least we got a point, a couple of goals and some time off from the premiership now. i think the confidence will start to build again now. here is hoping. Good response from the kids after the last 3 games, and the first part of the game, keep it up!!

YES VILLA!!! COME ON

looking forward to this match and predict a win. there is nothing positive about our club at the moment but today could change that. just got a funny feeling we will win, and Swansea will score an own goal. COME ON VILLA!!

that was appauling. Absolutely gutted that a team can show up in Villa shirts and play like that. against Wigan. at home. If anyone is remotely positive about Villa after this then they need to just stop and think about what there is actually left to be positive about. We just got torn apart at home by one of the leagues worst sides

just woke up my roommates yelling "dogshit" at the tv. so now none of us are happy. oh joy. the only positive is that if we go on to win it will be remembered for many years to come. We won't, but it's nicely set up for a classic comeback match

Championship football next season no question. this is beyond abysmal

BOYCE!! are you **** kidding me?!

I'm going to say something i think a lot of people on here disagree on. I think Bennett looks like a great prospect. Obviously not the finished article which is not what we need right now but if he can improve quickly then he could be a decent LB. As it is he looks more like a skillful left winger which is not what i expected quite

Dion Dublin obviously showing he hasn't paid attention for the last 10 minutes. also claiming Benteke hasn't had any good chances in the last 3 games; if he had been onside he would have

this is a lot lot better i'm feeling confident now. 1-1 before half time

75% possession to Villa in the last 5 mins. this is better

thought it was a goal, would have been good. absolutely gutted
